Mission Statement

Intergenerational Transmission of Trauma

The Impact of Single Black Fathers’ Trauma History on Children’s Anxiety Through Parental Beliefs

At the heart of my restorative engagement is a commitment to the transformation and well-being of Black individuals. Rejecting conventional Western mental health paradigms, I center my approach on developing a psychology deeply rooted in the rich tapestry of the African and Black worldview.

African/Black Tailored Mental Health Care

Dedicated to the unique needs of Black men and youth, my restorative engagement is a reflection of an African worldview. I celebrate the distinct experiences and strengths of each individual I serve. I utilize African and Black cultural concepts and practices such as:

Afrocentric Cosmology Integration:
- Utilization of Ma'at (Order, Truth, Propriety, Harmony, Balance ...)
- Sankofa (learning from the past)
- Ubuntu (I am because we are) to facilitate healing and restoration
- Exploring the interconnectedness of your ancestors and community
NTU Psychotherapy Techniques:
- Storytelling and symbolism to explore and process your experiences
- Emphasize on your self-awareness and self-acceptance
Black Liberation Psychology Principles:
- Empower you to develop strategies for resistance and resilience
- Explore of the intersectionality of your race, gender, and socio-economic factors in shaping experiences
Christian Biblical Principles Integration:
- Spiritual guidance and support based on Christian Biblical principles
- Incorporation of themes of faith, hope, forgiveness, and redemption into the restorative process
Community Support and Collective Healing:
- Emphasis on communal support and collective healing
- Encourage you to draw strength from your cultural heritage and spiritual beliefs
