Online Counseling for Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) in Texas

Helping Black, Indigenous, People of Color get to a better place in their lives.

Dealing with mental health issues made worst by racism can feel impossible to deal with. Most Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) who start mental health counseling feel stuck in a rut, unable to move forward.

Perhaps you can relate. Maybe you feel like you want to escape your life or you're noticing that you complain a lot about feeling stressed, tired, and unfulfilled.

Stuck in negativity and feeling out of control, you may feel like life is spent constantly feeling "on edge".

 
 

Do You Feel Stressed, Angry, Irritated?

Do any of the following resonate with you?

You want to address your mental health which includes racial and cultural trauma.

You would like to start therapy and you want to be your authentic self while receiving treatment.

It’s possible to feel better. Imagine a life where you could...

If these sound true for you, I want you to know that in our society, we struggle to talk about how mental health and racial trauma exacerbate each other, but what you are experiencing is normal. Reaching out for help can provide you with the support and encouragement you need. Self-care is not an indulgence or selfish act. You don't have to keep putting yourself last.
