Strengthen Your Future with Mental Health Counseling
This year marks the 100th anniversary of Black History Month—a powerful reminder that history is shaped not only by extraordinary leaders, but by everyday courage, resilience, and advocacy.
Founded by Carter G. Woodson, Black History Month is designed to ensure Black history is taught, preserved, and honored. Woodson believed understanding our history provides inspiration and empowerment—and that silence and omission can impact identity and self-worth. That same spirit of empowerment and connection is at the heart of meaningful mental health work.
Black History Month is not only about reflection—it is about healing, visibility, resilience, and reclaiming narratives. For many, exploring identity, intergenerational experiences, trauma, and resilience can be a powerful part of the therapeutic journey.
As you seek to deepen your understanding this month, consider investing in your own story, your mental health.
Anne, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Art Therapist, believes that healing begins when your experiences are seen, heard, and honored.
Through a compassionate, culturally aware, and creative approach, Anne helps clients reconnect with their strengths, process difficult experiences, and build tools for lasting emotional wellness. Whether you are navigating stress, relationship challenges, or the weight of past experiences, counseling can provide a safe and empowering space for growth.
History is built through everyday actions—including the decision to care for your mental health. Invest in your well-being. Your story matters.
