As a child, you may have:

• Cared for your parent(s) emotionally or physically

• Experienced emotional neglect

• Been exposed to parental substance abuse or domestic violence  

• Been a child of a single parent

• Your parents had expectations of you but provided no real guidance

We treat obsessive anxiety and high functioning depression in Black women who feel like they:

• Can’t find healthy relationships

Benefits of parentification therapy:

• Increased connection with yourself first, then others
