Therapy for Black men · Metro Detroit
You deserve more than a place to be strong. You deserve a place to be human.
You carry a lot: work, family, expectations, and a world that doesn't always see you clearly. Here you don't have to perform strength, explain your culture, or justify how you feel. Culturally responsive therapy built around the realities of Black men's lives, with room for your faith, family and goals.
- In person in Southfield
- Telehealth anywhere in Michigan
- Insurance & Medicaid accepted
- Evening appointments
Strong doesn't mean you have to carry it alone
Many men are taught to "man up" and handle it. That can build resilience, but it can also leave no space to say what's really going on. If any of this sounds familiar, it may be time to talk.
- Feeling worn down, numb, or on edge most of the time
- Anger or irritability that shows up at home or at work
- Stress from proving yourself in places that question your competence
- Pressure to provide that never seems to let up
- Distance in your marriage, relationships or friendships
- Drinking, working or staying busy so you don't have to feel
- Questions about fatherhood, identity, or what kind of man you want to be
- Experiences of discrimination or profiling that still weigh on you
Therapy that understands your context
You're not broken. Your stress, grief or anger makes sense when the whole picture is in view: race, manhood, family, faith, money and history. Good therapy accounts for all of it, without reducing you to any one part.
Race and manhood, together
Expectations about manhood and the realities of racism shape each other. We talk about both openly, without making every struggle about race.
Strength and vulnerability
Feeling your emotions isn't weakness. You'll build skills to name what you feel and say what you need, at your pace.
Racial stress taken seriously
Discrimination, profiling and being underestimated can affect your sense of safety and worth. Those experiences are acknowledged, not minimized.
Trust comes first
Mistrust of health care has real history behind it. Expect transparency, plain talk, and a plan you help build.
Proven methods, tailored to you
Evidence-based approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma-informed care, adapted to your culture, spirituality and community.
Your strengths, not just your struggles
Your intelligence, faith, relationships, resilience and goals are part of the work, not an afterthought.
What men often come in to work on
- Stress, burnout and the pressure to provide
- Depression, anxiety, and anger that's hard to manage
- Racial trauma and discrimination at work or in the community
- Marriage, dating, and becoming more emotionally available
- Fatherhood and co-parenting
- Grief, loss, and unresolved childhood pain
- Identity, purpose, and what healthy manhood looks like for you
Faith is welcome here, never required.

Questions people often ask
I've never been to therapy. What actually happens?
It's a confidential conversation with a trained professional. The first sessions focus on what brought you in and what you want to change. You set the pace, and you can ask questions about the process any time.
Do I have to talk about race?
Only if and when you want to. Race and racism can be part of the conversation because they're part of life, but every difficulty isn't automatically about race. You decide what matters.
Is this only for Black men?
The practice is designed around Black men's experiences, but anyone is welcome to request a consultation.
Is what I say kept private?
Yes. Therapy is confidential, with a few legal exceptions, such as a risk of serious harm, which are explained clearly at your first session.
Do you offer online sessions?
Yes. Sessions are available in person in Southfield or by secure video anywhere in Michigan. Evening appointments are available on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
