Black Women's Support Group



General information

*This group is temporarily postponed. Please contact us to be added to a waiting list.*
​​​​​​​

African American women are challenged daily by micro and macro aggressions, while
navigating life transitions amid the tireless efforts of maintaining the Strong Black
Woman stereotype. As a result of these experiences, African American women
commonly experience loneliness, self-imposed judgment, and feeling of being
misunderstood while also under chronic pressures to caretake others at the expense of
self.


The Black Women’s Group at Skylight Counseling Center provides a safe and sacred
space that invites Black women to come together to safely explore their experiences,
thoughts, feelings, emotions in a relationally nurturing, supportive, and therapeutic
environment. The group provides Black women between the ages of 28 and older, and
from all backgrounds, the experience of transformational healing using a holistic
approach to heal the mind, body and spirit.


Group Facilitators

 

Latryce Sharp is a Couple and Family Doctoral candidate and Master’s level Art
therapist. Rolanda Brown is a Master’s level Couple and Family Therapist.


Together, Latryce and Rolanda combine their therapeutic skill sets and their passion for
healing to embrace women of Color in their journey toward healing victoriously from
imposed historical wounds of racism and oppression influencing the myth and pathology of the “Black Superwoman.”
