Reaching out to a therapist or counselor for the first time can be a daunting experience. First, you need to find a therapist that fits your needs, but that’s only one step in the process.

In the past, African-Americans have not sought therapy. Some may say that there is a specific reason for this, but there are several. The primary belief is that, within the Black community, mental health has historically been considered taboo. Fortunately, in recent years, this long-standing notion regarding the Black community is beginning to change – particularly among Black women.

Things may look different around here, but at Myers-Galloway Counseling, the core of who we are is still the same. Our mission continues to be about empowering Black women to take charge of their mental health and well being.
