We are transforming mental health support for diverse individuals, couples, families and communities. We offer compassionate, collaborative therapy rooted in holistic wellness and resilience. We lead the way in culturally responsive consulting and training for organizations. Experience a safe, inclusive space to heal and the empowering support to become your best self.
This is a sanctuary of healing, where people and communities come together to embark on a transformative journey towards wholeness and restoration. We empower our clients to cultivate resilience, embrace their inherent strengths, and heal from the past in a culturally affirming environment – where your full authentic self is welcome. Our practice fosters genuine growth, connection, and social change, championing holistic wellbeing for all.
We are passionate about building a more inclusive and accessible future for mental health support. We understand and honor the unique experiences of black and brown women and girls, couples and families, and empower you to heal and grow. We consult for organizations who seek mental health training and resources so they can become more culturally responsive and truly inspiring places to live, work, learn, worship
and play. We are here to break down the barriers to healing for diverse
communities and beyond.

As recognized thought leaders in cultural competency and collaborative, compassionate counseling, Erica and Ayzha specialize in consulting and customized training for groups, organizations and institutions. They also offer clinical supervision for aspiring therapists, and are welcoming values-aligned clinicians to join the HCC team.
In the tapestry of our individual professional journeys, we discovered a shared thread of vision during a peer support session: we both aspired to have impactful practices supporting individuals who looked like us. Ayzha, inspired by shared values and missions, proposed joining forces for a group practice—a vision remarkably aligned with Erica's dreams. The Healing Centered Collective was sparked then and there.
We have both endured our own sets of traumas and hardships. We understand the power of therapy and community that can help along the way. We remain committed to our own healing and self-development in an effort to be the best versions of ourselves and most importantly, so that we can show up for those we serve both personally and professionally.
