My Approach to Helping
Hello! Thanks for visiting my profile. My name is Libby, and I'm a licensed (in Wisconsin & Texas) Marriage and Family Therapist with over a decade of experience working with adolescents and adults representing some of the most vulnerable populations. Preference for individuals/adults.
As a Black female therapist and on my mental wellness journey, I recognize the huge stigma connected to addressing mental health treatment in Black and Brown communities. Several barriers contribute to the gap in mental health care, including a lack of cultural representation among providers, an overwhelming sense of fear of sharing personal history with a stranger, and being stigmatized by family or friends. The biggest obstacle is silence!
Unfortunately, many are suffering alone, giving way to unhealthy generational patterns, like anxiety, depression, and posttraumatic stress (to name a few). My goal is to interrupt these negative patterns by creating space for healing and rewriting your story.
