Rewire your body’s alarm system.

Shift from panic to peace.

Are You...

✅ Carrying the weight of microaggressions and systemic injustice, feeling like you have to push through pain and trauma just to succeed?

✅ Feeling exhausted from being “strong” all the time, yearning for a safe space to heal and release the burdens you’ve carried for so long?

✅ Struggling with past emotional wounds that resurface in ways that impact your relationships, confidence, and mental clarity?

These struggles don’t define you, but they can weigh on your spirit. This doesn’t have to be your life.

Why EMDR Therapy With Me?

Hi, I’m Akinlana, the “Hey Sis!” Therapist and EMDRIA registered EMDR Therapist.

I bring a unique perspective as a trauma-informed therapist with a New Yorker/Caribbean flava with years of cross-cultural experience. My practice integrates EMDR and expressive arts therapy, tailored to meet the unique needs of high-achieving women of color. Together, we will work to eliminate the negative impacts of trauma and dissociation, helping you find balance, peace, and joy in your life again.

Imagine What’s Possible in EMDR Therapy

  • Experience lasting change as your brain rewires itself to replace fear and pain with peace and confidence, helping you regain control of your life.

  • Navigate life with a sense of wholeness, joy, peace, and freedom, no longer defined by past trauma or daily battles with stress.

  • Heal in a space that honors your racial identity, guided by a therapist who understands the impact of race based trauma as a woman of color herself

What My Past Clients Have Said

  • "For the first time in my life, I feel seen. Akinlana’s EMDR approach helped me let go of pain I didn’t even realize I was holding."

  • "I’ve learned to put myself first, without guilt or fear. Working with Akinlana has been a life-changing experience."

  • "I didn’t think it was possible to feel this free. EMDR with Akinlana was transformative. I can finally move forward without being held back by my past."
