Getting Started with Therapy
Scheduling an appointment with one of our Black Girl Doctors is easy as sweet potato pie (notice I didn't say cobbler--
the crust on that cobbler is complicated)!
​
If you are experiencing feelings of sadness, feeling overwhelmed with stress, struggling with past trauma, feeling challenged by relationships, having a hard time processing grief, unsure of your purpose in life, grappling with racial trauma, or simply feeling like something is holding you back from reaching your full potential, we'd love to talk with you.
LEARN HOW IT WORKS
Do you yearn for love or close friendships but struggle with loneliness or painful relationships? If so, I’d love to talk with you.

Schedule a complimentary new client therapy placement consultation
​
During this 20 minute video call, you will meet with a placement specialist to talk about the changes you'd like to see in your life. You will learn which therapists are available and might be best to support your needs, have an opportunity to ask questions, and finally, get matched with the Black Girl Doctor who is right for you!

Complete your paperwork & attend your intake assessment appointment
An intake assessment is a 60 minute appointment where you will meet your therapist and delve deep into your presenting concerns and background. Together you will set goals for treatment and agree to how frequently you will meet for therapy sessions.

Attend your therapy sessions and start healing
Therapy sessions are 50 minute appointments where you will work with your therapist on the goals you outlined and frequently check in to assess your progress. Therapy is active and you will be expected to continue working on your goals between sessions.
And that's it... sweet potato pie!
