Welcome

I'm so glad that you are here. Today you are one step closer to wellness and greater \zen\ : a state of calm attentiveness in which one's actions are guided by intuition rather than by conscious effort.   

​

At The Greater Zen, you will be supported by an integrative approach and evidenced based practices. This counseling and wellness "house" is a safe space to blend your naturally cultivated strengths and coping skills with tools acquired in session. If you feel that you are experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma based stress, or just feeling stuck and need an objective therapist to process your journey with, you are welcome to book a session. Further, if you are seeking alternative methods to enhance your healing, you can ease into therapy (when ready) or concurrently with therapeutic sessions, attend one of the sans-therapy group activities, led by experts in their field.

Multicultural competence is a journey that develops our understanding of ourselves, our clients and the world.  It is a goal that betters us because underlying assumptions can be detrimental to relationships. In consideration of awareness that there is a population of people who feel 'other'ed'; culturally related social stigma preventing persons from seeking therapy; or research that has found there are stereotypes which underlie the implicit bias shaping many adults' view of Black females, to include adultification in childhood - I have focused my Practice on helping overwhelmed [ethnically diverse] women reframe and allow themselves grace themselves as they find a healthy balance.

Individual Therapy

Whether adolescent or an adult, and no matter the stressor (to include late stage recovery), therapy will be tailored to your needs. The Clinicians goal is to inspire self-awareness/realization, as well as process belief of faulty thinking patterns in order to support you on your road to optimal wellness. 

Sans-Therapy Groups

In consideration of treating the whole system, experts from various fields will be invited to facilitate wellness activities meant to enhance therapy and healthier coping strategies.  

Sans-wellness Groups include:

• Full Spectrum Doula Group

• Yoga Wellness

• Nutrition Counseling
