Therapy for Black Men

The stigma is real.

You’re not soft. So, what do you look like when meeting with someone to talk about your feelings?

Up to this point, opening up has been considered a weakness.

But finding a place where emotions are welcome makes it easier to be present for those who need to see how you think and feel inside.

Find the language to express yourself.

Finding words to express emotions seems foreign, but you feel them, contrary to what some may believe.

All the emotions you feel come out as anger – or you shut down. You regulate emotions by trying not to feel them.

Together in therapy, we will learn the language of emotions. You will be coached on how to understand your emotions and express them to others.

Find balance in every aspect of your life.

You learned how to navigate your career to reach success, and you’re accustomed to being the only person that looks like you.

Self-monitoring is second nature – but it’s exhausting. If you don’t do something soon, it feels like you will crack.

As a black man and a professional, microaggressions are the unfortunate norm. You have so much on your plate that the ruminating robs you of your sleep.

Sorting the clutter in your mind without shame is a step toward healing. Therapy provides a confidential and safe space where you can learn to cope with the stress you feel and find your emotional self, the one you so expertly keep stuffed inside and away from others.

Therapy is for everyone!

Don’t stigmatize therapy as something unmanly. Sure, there are places where you can be informal and discuss topics, but there are few places, even with family, where you can share your innermost feelings. Keeping those feelings inside can result in anxiety, depression, anger, and a disconnect with those you love.

Therapy can be freeing, allowing you to express all the emotions you keep bottled up. In therapy, we can work together to help you declutter your mind so that you can make room for peace and emotional security.

You will feel validated and can walk away with the tools to care for your heart, mind, and family.

Overcome the stigma, change your mindset, and let therapy bring balance to your entire life. Request an appointment today.
