We work from a strength focused perspective using a variety of therapeutic approaches to help women and couples. You do so much to care for others but when it's time to care for yourself, you can't find the time or the energy. Or maybe as you are reading these words, you've realized that you've ignored yourself for so long that you don't know where you start and others begin.
The choice of a therapist is personal. The challenges you're experiencing require a counselor with the training and experience to create a plan for you and manage the process. That's why Introspective Counseling LLC is a group of experienced mental health professionals committed to your treatment goals. We work with women to address these issues as well as provide screening and assessment for other mood and mental health issues including: postpartum depression, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder and trauma.
Your place for calming resources all in one space. For support in between sessions and when you need a space to re-center and ground, this pocket sized calming room is a holding space for tips, tools and strategies just for you.

Services
Women of color are natural healers, nurturers and caretakers.
We have been taught to anticipate and provide for the needs of others to our detriment.
We are taught to suppress, to be independent, autonomous and to avoid asking for help as these are all ways to ensure a facade of strength.
Paradoxically, true courage and strength are demonstrated through vulnerability - an acknowledgement that help is needed and then taking steps to access help.
Women are two times more likely than men to experience depression and anxiety, especially during life transitions that can include but are definitely not limited to: going away to college, career changes, career entry, marriage, pregnancy, motherhood, infertility, divorce/break up and even promotion.

In Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, the goal is to enrich your life and create meaningful connections in it.
We do this while accepting our present state and releasing what we have no control over.
ACT therapy focuses on being fully present, acknowledging our values, finding meaning in life, and being mindful through every step we take.
The strength of this approach is acknowledging that regardless of where we are there will always be barriers, unwanted experiences, feelings, and thoughts.
The point isn't to ignore them but find a better way to deal with them and find radical acceptance of even the most difficult situations.

It can feel uncomfortable when you're held back by anxiety, depression, or the recurring trauma of a past event.
This can leave you feeling pain, anger, frustration, and an overall feeling of being stuck.
Dealing with trauma can leave you feeling stuck.
You may have the weight of school, work, family, relationships, and racial injustice on your shoulders.
Perhaps, you are a put-together and strong individual, but now you are weighed down by the pressure of performing high, being there for others, all while trying to manage your struggles and mental health.
