Who we serve
We serve Black women and mothers who are strong, capable, and quietly exhausted. Many are the ones others rely on, holding families, careers, and communities together while feeling overwhelmed or disconnected inside. Our clients are thoughtful and self-aware, yet often stuck in survival mode from chronic stress, trauma, or years of carrying too much alone.
At BEL, we offer culturally responsive, trauma-informed care that honors the full complexity of Black womanhood and motherhood. We create space to slow down, soften, and feel safely held.
Healing here is not about fixing. It’s about coming home to yourself.
Feeling emotionally numb, flat, or chronically overwhelmed
Difficulty resting or slowing down
Persistent self-doubt or harsh inner critic
Relationship patterns that repeat despite insight
Parenting stress layered on unresolved trauma
Anxiety or depression that hasn’t shifted with surface-level tools

You deserve YOU.
No Surprises Act
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency ealthcare services, including psychotherapy services.
You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
