On the outside you look so put together, yet on the inside you're falling apart

Yes Sis, I see you. Your friends look up to you as the “it girl”. You have all the luxuries of a successful life except, you're not happy. 

You are a strong resilient woman with anxiety and depression

Maybe, you work hard because that’s what strong women like your Mom did. Well guess what Sis? Strong can be exhausting. As you hold everybody else down, who is holding YOU down?

Your heart races as your hands shake uncontrollably.This life you’ve created for yourself is spiraling and the disappointment and grief lands you in a deep depression.

You experience microaggressions in everyday life

You second guess your worth at the office and work twice if not three times as hard to get where you are professionally so no one catches you slippin’.

Some of the previous traumas in your life are catching up with you. You have feelings of tingling in your fingers and toes or you’re numb all over and not like yourself. You feel triggered and disconnected from your body.

No more you’ve said

No more sleepless nights tossing and turning. No more glasses of wine before bed to get some semblance of rest. No more of this rat race.

My name is Akinlana, The “Hey Sis” Therapist and I can help guide you back to yourself

I help high achieving women of color feel supported. Let's get down to the heart of your frustration and unhappiness in life. If you’re not able to talk about it, let the expressive arts of music or movement do the talking.

Feeling like you’re all over the place? I can help with some mindfulness practices or EMDR sessions to help you feel grounded and safer in your body and your surroundings.

Imagine being truly seen

You get to show up in session with me as your authentic self (either virtually or in person) and be fully accepted for who you are. My weekly clients share their experiences with me as relaxed, fun, less sterile and relatable. Even as a professionally licensed mental health counselor and expressive arts therapist, I make you feel right at home as if you were in my living room. My compassionate care partners with your willingness to be held accountable to your life transformation.
