Welcome, I'm Anthonette. First, I want to applaud you for taking a step toward improving your mental health. I specialize in helping women heal from anxiety and depression so they can live authentically and with intention. Every woman is equipped with her own set of solutions to the challenges she faces, and with the right guidance and support, she can overcome even the most difficult experiences in life.

As a Black woman, my life experiences and the way I walk through the world, allow me to connect on a deeper level with other Black people and minorities.

First session

In therapy with me you can expect a safe and judgement-free space to unpack and unlearn the thoughts and feelings that are not serving you. I will teach you skills to help challenge negative thoughts, create a practical self-care routine, and reconnect with your inner self. I invite you to reach out if you think we might be a good fit.

Strengths

My clients appreciate my warmth and compassion. As a Black woman, my life experiences and the way I walk through the world, allow me to connect on a deeper level with other Black people and minorities.

Ideal clients

Can you relate to feeling overwhelmed by your responsibilities at work and home? Instead of waking up feeling refreshed do you feel drained or worried from the start? Perhaps you struggle with making decisions or sticking to the goals you set out for yourself only, to feel defeated and frustrated by your efforts to become a better version of yourself. Envisioning a brighter future can seem impossible when clouded by a sea of negative thoughts.

Treatment methods

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

I am trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), a type of cognitive-behavioral therapy that focuses on teaching clients skills to manage emotions, cope with stress, and improve relationships. I focus on teaching you skills to recognize and restore emotional dysregulation, set boundaries, and effectively communicate your needs. I have used DBT for individuals dealing with borderline personality disorder, self-harm behaviors, ADHD, chronic suicidal ideation, anxiety, and depression, and can be adapted for couples.

This was my first session with her, and she was very warm, empathetic, and understanding of my needs. I also appreciated how willing she was to look into different things that could really help support me throughout my therapy journey. I especially love that she provides homework because it gives me something to work on and focus on in between our sessions, which helps keep me engaged until our next meeting.

Antsy for my next session but I can’t miss them. I actually feel way better after we speak.

In this season, I have a lot of transitions (kid going to college, relocation, etc). It's challenging but Anthonette really helped me to see the challenges from a different and emotionally safe perspective. I felt safe enough to be vulnerable, affirmed, but also, challenged to be accountable.
