Our Annual Report: Here’s What 2024 Taught Us About Healing Black Women
Let’s be honest—healing is not a solo act. And at Myers-Galloway Counseling, 2024 proved that over and over again. We’re not just in the business of therapy. We’re in the business of helping Black women lay their burdens down—especially the ones they’ve been carrying since childhood. This year was a testament to one truth: when Black women are given space to rest, reflect, and rebuild, everything changes.
Our 2024 Impact Report is more than numbers—it’s a powerful reflection of healing, growth, and community transformation. Inside, you’ll find stories, data, and bold next steps that show how we’re helping Black women untangle from toxic responsibility and reclaim their lives. 👉🏾 Read the full report here
Why We Do This Work
From the very beginning, we’ve been focused on helping high-achieving women navigate the complexities of life. But we quickly realized that many of them weren’t just overwhelmed—they were carrying invisible wounds from being the responsible one for far too long. Parentification. Burnout. Self-sacrifice. Generational weight.
So we made a shift. We stopped treating surface-level symptoms and started addressing root causes. Because we believe every Black woman deserves healing that doesn’t ask her to shrink or endure.
In 2024 alone, we hosted a retreat, served 94 clients monthly on average, and facilitated over 1,600 transformational therapy sessions.
What We Want You to Know
We work with women who were caregivers before they could even be children. Now they’re professionals, mothers, community leaders—and still carrying more than anyone can see.
Let us be clear:
You are not here to be everything to everyone.
Your mental health matters more than your performance.
Boundaries are not betrayal. They are the beginning of freedom.
In 2024 year, our clients told us:
“Setting boundaries is not selfish.” “I need to give myself permission.” “I’m not alone. All my emotions were validated.”
This is the impact of culturally-grounded care.
What We Built in 2024:
The “Don’t Call Me Strong” Retreat: 100% of attendees said they were “extremely satisfied.” The space? Sacred. The healing? Deep. The feedback? “I need to get safe so I can regulate my nervous system.” That’s what this retreat gave them—permission to soften, to feel, to breathe.
Therapy That Changes Lives: With over 5,200 sessions since our start, our practice continues to center the unique needs of Black women. We address burnout, trauma, family conflict, and more—not with shame, but with compassion and clarity.
Strategic Community Partnerships: Our partnership with Village HeartBEAT’s THRIVE Program brought therapy directly to those who may have otherwise been overlooked. That’s how we bridge gaps and build trust.
This Work Is Bigger Than Therapy
We’re not just helping individuals. We’re changing how healing looks in our communities. In 2025 and beyond, we are:
Launching a membership community (Legacy Shifters) for healing and legacy shifting
Expanding consulting services to help organizations become trauma-informed
Hosting another local retreat designed for Black women who are ready to do the deep work
Reaching 300 Black women through integrated, affirming care
Because this is more than a practice—it’s a sanctuary for cycle-breakers and legacy-shifters.
