About Us
Nia is an Afrocentric agency providing telehealth counseling, coaching, mentoring, and other services to people of color, including men, women, children, and adolescents. Nia, pronounced "NEE-ah," meaning "purpose," is the fifth principle of Kwanzaa. It represents our collective commitment to building and developing our community to restore our people to their traditional greatness, aligning with Nia's mission. The Black and African American experience in America has often been marked by trauma, violence, dehumanization, and oppression. Despite this, only 25% of Black Americans seek mental health treatment, compared to 40% of White Americans. My goal is to destigmatize mental health within the African American community and promote positive change in the lives of men, women, children and families of color, fostering progress in health and healing. I aim to assist you in reimagining your life. Using my extensive experience and a long history of client success, my individualized approach centered on positivity will support you in achieving your goals.
