Being a Black female therapist comes with layers most people don’t see
You’re surrounded by colleagues and clients who don’t always understand the weight of the Strong Black Woman Stereotype and how it shows up in your sessions, your supervision, your and sacred spaces.
Even finding a therapist for yourself feels impossible—because you want someone who gets both your professional and your lived experience.
You hold space for clients all day, but shrink and ignore your own emotions because no one gets it, no one cares, no one has capacity. You’re carrying the weight for everyone.
Over time, this constant carrying bleeds into every part of your life:
At work: you start feeling numb in sessions, or resentful of the same advice you give your clients.
In relationships: your people still look to you as the strong one, but you feel unseen and unsupported.
In your body: exhaustion, sleep disruption, and stress pile up until burnout becomes your baseline.
In your identity: being a healer, helper, and hope dealer once felt purposeful, but it is starting to feel heavy and unsustainable.
It doesn’t have to stay this way.

FAQs:
Q: I’m a therapist—do you really understand what it’s like to sit in my chair?
A:Yes. I specialize in supporting Black female therapists, counselors, and helping professionals who live with the weight of the Strong Black Woman stereotype. I know the tension of holding space for others while silently running on empty yourself. In our work, you don’t have to explain away your professional identity—you get to be fully human, not “the strong one.”
Q: I feel guilty taking up space in therapy when I know others “have it worse.”
A:That guilt is part of the Strong Black Woman stereotype—believing you must minimize your own needs to prioritize everyone else’s. In reality, you deserve care just as much as the people you serve. Therapy gives you a safe, structured place to take up space without apology. And when you are well, your work, your relationships, and your community benefit, too.
Q:What can I expect in my first session?
A:The first session is about you feeling safe and seen. We’ll talk about what’s bringing you here, what you hope to get out of therapy, and what rest and recovery could look like for you. There’s no pressure to have it all figured out—we’ll go at your pace, with compassion and clarity.
Q: How much does therapy cost?
A: My fee is $200 per session. I do not take insurance, but I can provide a superbill for out-of-network reimbursement if your plan covers it.
I know therapy is an investment—and I also know the cost of not getting support is often burnout, health concerns, and staying stuck in survival mode. Choosing therapy is choosing you. Your wellness is worth it.
