A Unified, Supportive Community

Family, faith, and friendship are the foundations of many African-American communities. Mental health care professionals have not always understood the potential benefits of these rich and deep connections to a client’s mental health. All too often, therapists have set themselves against friends, family, and faith communities instead of working with them. The therapists at Thriveworks Columbia take a different approach. We are on the same team as a client’s support network, and we honor the important role that rich community connections can play in a client’s healing journey.

Mental Health Care and Trust

When a client trusts their therapists, they are often able to delve deeply into their psychological wounds and find healing. Each client has unique wounds, and therapy should be personalized. Therapists are not dictators, but they are guides. Clients set the pace and take steps forward when they are ready. As clients feel empathy and respect instead of fear or judgment, they may experience deep healing. No list could ever contain all the issues a client may raise, but many times, African Americans use their time in therapy to seek help and healing for:

• Racial trauma
• Grief counseling
• Career advancement
• Discrimination
• Anxiety
• Sexual identity issues
• Child therapy
• Divorce
• Substance use
• Executive coaching
• Depression
• Post-traumatic stress disorder
• Anger management
• Obsessive-compulsive tendencies
• Infidelity
• Suspected abuse of a child
• Eating disorders
• Psychiatric testing
• Job loss
• Addiction
• Couples and marriage counseling
