Serving residents of Massachusetts and North Carolina

As a woman of color, you’re looking for a non judgemental and compassionate space to explore your inner world, heal past traumas, and build a stronger sense of self. 

Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or simply feeling lost and disconnected from yourself, therapy can be a powerful tool to help you navigate life's challenges and find a deeper sense of purpose and fulfillment.

Hi, I’m Akinlana, The “Hey Sis!” Therapist.

I became a Licensed therapist after living and working in Africa for seven years. Having witnessed and held space for countless women and children of traumatized experiences, I realized a new passion and calling for trauma healing. 

Upon returning back to the states, my focus widened due to the senseless acts of violence and racialized trauma in communities of African descent here in the US. From a remote village to community-based mental health clinic, my mission became “to break the cycle of hurt people hurting people, while taking victims of trauma from survivors to ultimate thrivers”. This global charge for healing communities of African descent from conditions of generational trauma is my opportunity to become a catalyst for change.

I am trained in trauma healing through the use of the arts such as music and movement.  My holistic approach to therapy integrates mindfulness and other body-centered techniques. Additionally, I am an EMDR therapist as this style of therapy doesn’t require much talking about the traumatic experience in order to experience the long-lasting relief.

I believe that therapy is a journey of self-discovery, and I'm honored to walk alongside you as you explore your deepest truths and uncover new possibilities for growth and healing.
