Trauma-informed, culturally grounded therapy for Black folks, LGBTQIA+ communities, and neurodivergent individuals who deserve a space where their whole self is not just tolerated — it's the starting point.

Therapy for Black Girls NetworkI'm Vickey Simmons-Hart — a proud Arizona native, lifelong learner, and deeply curious human who believes the most powerful healing happens when we stop asking people to choose between their identity and their recovery.
Before becoming a Licensed Professional Counselor, I spent years as an educator, adult learning specialist, and community advocate. Those roles shaped my approach to therapy: I show up as both teacher and student of the human experience.
Inclusive Mental Wellness is the result of lived experience and clinical intention. It's a space where Black folks, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and anyone carrying the weight of survival can lay it down — even for a moment — and be seen as whole.
Start Your Journeythis is therapy where the whole of you isn't just welcome. It's the entire point.
Healing from complex trauma, racial trauma, abuse, neglect, and sexual assault — with approaches that honor your nervous system and your story equally.
Navigating identity, sexuality, gender exploration, or relationship structures including ethically non-monogamous relationships — in a fully affirming space.
Culturally grounded care that understands the particular weight of navigating systemic racism, racial grief, and the labor of existing in spaces not built for you.
Affirming support for ADHD, autism, and neurodivergent experiences — because the world's defaults aren't yours to apologize for.
For the ones who look like they have it together — and are quietly exhausted by the performance of having it together.
Judgment-free, affirming support that centers your dignity, your safety, and your full humanity — without pathologizing your livelihood.
"If you've ever felt like you had to hide parts of yourself in therapy — this space is different. All of you is welcome here."
Personalized, trauma-informed therapy for adults carrying some of life's heaviest terrain — with evidence-based approaches tailored entirely to you.
Affirming support for couples of all configurations — including non-traditional relationships, queer partnerships, and ENM/CNM dynamics.
Advanced training in trauma therapies that go beyond talk — reaching where words haven't been enough.
Not sure where to start? A 15-minute consultation is always free.
Some wounds heal better in witness. Group spaces offer something individual therapy can't — the reminder that you are not alone in what you carry, and that your story has resonance in someone else's.
A process group for Black women navigating racial trauma, identity, burnout, and the particular weight of being seen and unseen simultaneously. Culturally grounded. Deeply affirming.
An affirming space for LGBTQIA+ adults to explore identity, navigate relationships, process trauma, and build connection with others who get it — no explanations required.
A psychoeducational series for ADHD and autistic adults — practical tools for navigating relationships, executive function, sensory needs, and a world that wasn't designed with you in mind.
A structured psychoeducational experience integrating somatic tools, IFS concepts, and EMDR-informed exercises to support survivors in understanding their nervous system and reclaiming safety.
