Black woman therapist and counselor

With New York City (NYC) being one of the most diverse cities in the country, as an African-American woman, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and Educator, most of my work has centered around counseling, educating, coaching and advocating for individuals from various ethnicities and cultures from around the world. Through years of experience working in Child Welfare, Juvenile Justice, Outpatient Mental Health Clinics, and Schools, I have been afforded the opportunity to gain a well-rounded understanding of the unique challenges and needs in diverse communities (BIPOC). Whether experiencing difficulties from your children’s behavioral dysregulation, school avoidance, blending families, developing secure attachments, breaking intergenerational cycles, navigating micro and macroagressions, assimilating, feelings of imposter syndrome, breaking glass ceilings, adjusting to normal transitions experienced through life changes, or learning how to identify and manage unaddressed mental health symptoms, the knowledge and expertise required to address your concerns in a holistic and culturally sensitive manner is the cornerstone of my practice.

  • Client Testimonials

    “Mahogany Mental Health Counseling has been such a huge part in my overall transformation. Janeese is an intelligent, compassionate, and kind therapist who truly takes the time to understand your issues and give you practical tools to help you work through them. She also pays close attention to your personality and the things you value to inform how she approaches your sessions. I’ve found this to be extremely helpful as I’ve struggled to find a therapist I felt could take my spirituality into account when it plays such a huge role in my life. I’ve had the most incredible breakthroughs while working with Janeese and it’s a testament to her abilities and desire to truly be of service to her clients. When I reflect on the time I’ve spent working with Janeese I see the difference in my outlook on life and how much I’ve grown in all the areas I deeply struggled with when I first started. I could go on about how incredible my experience has been but I will just say this — if you’re truly ready to take the next step forward to greater mental health I highly recommend Mahogany Mental Health Counseling!”
