The act of caring for others and taking on their duties is common in the African-American community. This type of socialization is often demonstrated at home by a female authority figure, such as a mother, grandmother or aunt. Young Black girls who are exposed to this behavior often replicate it in adulthood. Because they do not want to disappoint others, they struggle with feelings of guilt should they say no.

Things may look different around here, but at Myers-Galloway Counseling, the core of who we are is still the same. Our mission continues to be about empowering Black women to take charge of their mental health and well being.
