More about Mariah
- 3 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
As a Black woman therapist, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes, particularly young adults and women experiencing challenges with depression, anxiety, relationships, and trauma. My approach centers on empowerment, healing, and cultivating self-love through compassionate, culturally responsive care.
My therapeutic practice focuses on addressing critical areas including posttraumatic stress, domestic violence recovery, family dynamics, and personal growth. I understand the unique intersectional experiences of Black women and create a safe, affirming space for healing and transformation.
Drawing from evidence-based practices, I help clients develop resilience, rebuild self-esteem, and create meaningful strategies for emotional wellness. My commitment is to walk alongside you with genuine understanding, respect, and unwavering support as you navigate your healing journey.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
