Individual Therapy- Care Designed for Women of Color Who Carry It All
Therapy at CARE is about creating space for women of color who are used to showing up strong for everyone else. Here, you don’t have to hold it together or explain away your experiences. Instead, you’ll find a grounded, culturally affirming space to slow down, make sense of what you’ve been carrying, and begin to heal.
Can you relate?
You’re managing responsibilities for others but feel depleted inside.
Self-care feels like a luxury, and guilt follows when you try.
Past experiences — including cultural and generational expectations — weigh heavily.
You’re outwardly successful but inside you’re anxious, burnt out, or disconnected.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Therapy here is a place to reclaim your peace, presence, and power.
-
You may feel flat, emotionally numb, or exhausted even after rest. Depression can make everyday life feel heavy and disconnect you from joy. In therapy, we’ll explore the roots of this weight, shift unhelpful patterns, and create practices that help you reconnect with meaning and self-compassion.
-
Anxiety often shows up as worry, restlessness, perfectionism, or difficulty sleeping- like your mind won’t stop running or slow down. Together, we’ll slow down the cycle, build tools to notice and manage anxious thoughts, and learn ways to pause instead of pushing past your limits. Our goal is to help you feel calmer, steadier, and more in control.
-
Trauma is defined as the emotional response to a distressing, often frightening or stressful situation that is difficult to cope with or out of one’s control. Everyone responds to trauma differently.
For women of color, trauma is often magnified as they continuously navigate systems of racial and systemic oppression.
Furthermore, many women of color face intergenerational trauma- or trauma that has been inherited/passed down.
Past hurts- whether personal experiences or those carried through family and culture- can leave deep marks. They may show up in how you relate to yourself, others, or even your sense of safety. Therapy here offers a grounded, culturally aware space to process these experiences at your pace, helping you move toward healing and reconnection
-
Starting over, shifting roles, caregiving, or navigating unexpected changes can feel disorienting. Even positive transitions can bring grief and uncertainty. In therapy, we’ll work together to find clarity, create supportive practices, and help you stay connected to yourself as you move through change.
-
When you’re always the one holding everything together at work, at home, in your family; it can feel like there’s nothing left for you. Burnout often hides behind productivity and smiles, but inside it takes a toll on your body, mind, and spirit. In therapy, we’ll unpack the invisible emotional labor you’ve been carrying and help you create sustainable practices that restore balance, energy, and ease.
-
Relationships can be fulfilling, but they can also drain you when boundaries aren’t clear. Whether it’s family, friendships, or partnerships, many women of color feel the weight of unspoken expectations. Therapy here helps you identify what’s yours to hold, what isn’t, and how to communicate in ways that honor your needs without guilt. It’s about creating connections that feel mutual and safe, not one-sided.
-
Loss takes many forms. The passing of a loved one, the end of a role, or even the slow weight of long-term caregiving. These experiences often come with both love and exhaustion, grief and guilt, relief and sadness. In therapy, we’ll create space to honor your story, hold your complex emotions, and move toward healing without rushing the process. You don’t have to carry it all alone.

Reaching out can feel like a big step, but you don’t have to do this alone.
Your Investment
Therapy is more than symptom relief, it’s an investment in your healing, relationships, and long-term well-being.
At CARE Therapy, sessions are self-pay to give you the flexibility and freedom to focus on what matters most, without the restrictions of insurance. This means:
You choose the pace, depth, and focus of our work.
Your care is confidential and not limited by diagnosis requirements.
We can integrate cultural, generational, and identity-based experiences in a way that feels authentic to you.
Superbills can be provided for clients with out-of-network benefits
Many clients find that choosing self-pay helps them prioritize themselves in a meaningful way; therapy on their terms, not on insurance terms.
