The Melanated Therapist

At The Melanated Therapist, our approach is centered on supporting Black and Brown individuals, families, and adolescents (ages 9+) in healing from interpersonal and generational trauma. While our practice is rooted in culturally responsive care for communities of color, we welcome and serve anyone seeking mental health counseling and committed to personal growth.

We provide therapeutic services throughout Washington State, offering a safe and supportive space to explore life’s challenges from anxiety, depression, and relationship issues to identity struggles and major life transitions. Our goal is to help you build self-empathy, compassion, and confidence through therapy that is both affirming and goal-oriented.

What sets us apart is our belief in authentic connection. We bring our full selves into the work using our training, tools, and human experiences to create an honest, relatable, and effective therapeutic relationship. Healing doesn’t require perfection, just the willingness to show up. We’re here to walk beside you as you begin to live a life that feels more true, more balanced, and more yours.
