In Person and Online Therapy in

Charlotte, NC

As a woman of color in Charlotte and throughout North Carolina, you feel like you’re carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. 

You need someone who can help you process these emotions in a compassionate and non-judgmental space. Perhaps having a walk and talk session that feels more natural.

You’ve decided to start looking for a therapist, but you’re nervous. You’ve never been to therapy before and don't know what to expect. You also worry that you won't find a therapist who understands your experiences as a BIPOC woman suffering from anxiety, depression, or trauma.

You are ready for real change

I’m Akinlana The “Hey Sis!” Therapist , allow me to help you unpack this weight from your shoulders

As a black therapist in Charlotte, NC, I’ve been helping superwomen take off their capes, remove the S off their chests, and feel supported in managing anxiety, depression, and trauma.

Having lived and worked in Africa for seven years and grown up in the big apple of New York City, I’ve seen the faces of mental health in varying contexts from remote villages, community based mental health centers, partial hospitalization programs, to the public school systems. Know that I see you and can wholeheartedly provide you with culturally sensitive therapy that acknowledges the intersectionality of your identity.
