Rooted in Understanding

At Esse Counseling & Consulting, we offer therapy grounded in cultural awareness, lived experience, and deep respect for your individual path. We understand that the Black experience is not one-size-fits-all. It is layered, beautiful, complex—and it deserves care that reflects that depth.

Whether you're carrying generational weight, navigating identity, processing trauma, or simply seeking a space to exhale, you don’t have to do it alone.

This Is a Space For You

You deserve therapy that:

  • Honors your identity without requiring you to explain it

  • Holds space for both your strength and your softness

  • Gets the nuance—because your experience is more than what can be seen on the surface

  • Feels like a conversation, not a performance

We’re here to hold space for all of it. The pride. The pain. The joy. The questions. The parts you’ve kept tucked away for too long.

Let's Redefine What Therapy Can Be

Therapy doesn’t have to feel clinical or cold. At Esse, it’s relational, affirming, and real. Our approach blends clinical expertise with intuitive listening, cultural humility, and deep empathy. You’ll be met with curiosity, not judgment—and a commitment to walking with you, not ahead of you.

Ready to Begin?

Choosing a therapist is deeply personal. If you’re feeling a pull—curious, hopeful, even a little nervous—that’s a sign you’re ready to explore something new.

We invite you to book a free consultation. Let’s see if this space feels right for you.
