Roadmap Services
Psychological Consultation & Care Planning
Before beginning therapy or assessment, every client completes Roadmap Services—a comprehensive intake process designed to ensure your care is grounded in genuine understanding, not assumptions.
This service combines a detailed clinical interview, wellness measures, and psychological screeners to create a complete picture of what you're experiencing. It functions as both your intake and a psychological consultation: a chance to explore your concerns in depth and receive informed, personalized recommendations about what kind of support would actually help.
You'll leave with a clear roadmap for your care—whether that means moving into therapy, pursuing psychological assessment, or being referred to a provider better suited to your needs. Some clients discover they don't need ongoing treatment at all, just clarity and strategies they can apply on their own.
Roadmap Services is required before therapy or assessment because it ensures that whatever comes next is the right fit for your situation.

Therapy
Assessment-informed, Culturally Grounded
Therapy at The Mending Place is structured, warm, and grounded in who you actually are—not a one-size-fits-all protocol.
Because every client begins with Roadmap Services, we don't start from scratch. We already understand your situation, your patterns, and what you're hoping to work on. That foundation allows us to set clear goals from the first session: what we're working toward, how we'll get there, and how we'll know when we're done.
This isn't open-ended, talk-forever therapy. It's focused, intentional work designed to create real movement—then let you go live your life.
How I Work
I draw from several evidence-based approaches depending on what fits:
-
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) — identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns
-
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) — building distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal skills
-
Relational and Interpersonal Therapy — exploring how relationships shape your inner world
-
Narrative Therapy — reauthoring the stories you tell about yourself
-
Integrative Approaches — combining tools based on what actually works for you
Cultural context isn't an add-on—it's woven into everything. Your identity, background, and the systems you navigate matter to how we work together.
What I Help With
-
Anxiety and depression
-
ADHD (post-diagnosis support and strategies)
-
Autism, particularly high-masking presentations
-
Burnout and occupational stress
-
Perfectionism and high-achiever struggles
-
Identity exploration (racial, cultural, professional)
-
Trauma (developmental, racial, relational, and other forms)
-
Relationship patterns and interpersonal difficulties
Who I Work Well With
I tend to connect with:
-
High-achieving professionals who are accomplished but exhausted
-
First-generation college students and professionals navigating unfamiliar systems
-
Black folks moving through predominantly white spaces
-
Clinicians seeking their own therapy with someone who understands the field
If you're used to performing, pushing through, or figuring things out alone—and you're ready for something different—this might be a good fit.

Psychological Assessment
The Mending Place offers two distinct approaches to psychological assessment, each designed for different needs. Both are evidence-based, ethical, and collaborative. The right choice depends on what you're hoping to understand.
If you're unsure which approach fits your situation, Roadmap Services will help clarify the best path forward.
Therapeutic Assessment
Understanding the Whole Picture
Therapeutic Psychological Assessment is designed for individuals who are seeking understanding, not just a diagnosis. The goal is to explore patterns, context, and meaning—how symptoms, identity, history, and current stressors interact—so that assessment itself becomes part of the therapeutic process.
This approach is exploratory and integrative. Assessment data are gathered through clinical interviews, standardized measures, and reflective feedback, with ongoing attention to how findings resonate with your lived experience. The feedback process is collaborative and intentionally therapeutic, supporting insight, emotional processing, and informed decision-making about next steps in care.
Therapeutic assessment may be integrated with ongoing therapy or used to inform future treatment, accommodations, or life decisions. The emphasis is not speed, but depth and usefulness.
This may be right for you if you:
-
Feel functional but stuck, or confused about your mental health picture
-
Have complex or overlapping concerns (mood, trauma, attention, identity)
-
Want clarity about yourself rather than a single answer
-
Have had prior diagnoses that didn't fully explain your experience
-
Are considering therapy, major transitions, or long-term planning and want comprehensive understanding first
Focused Assessment
Answering a Specific Question
Focused Psychological Assessment is designed to answer a specific clinical question efficiently and clearly. The goal is diagnostic clarification and practical recommendations related to a defined concern, such as ADHD, autism spectrum conditions, or mood disorders.
This approach is targeted and question-driven. The assessment battery is intentionally limited to tools that address the referral question, allowing for a streamlined process while maintaining clinical rigor. Results are synthesized into a clear diagnostic conclusion, with recommendations tailored to your goals—whether that's treatment planning, academic accommodations, or workplace support.
While thoughtful and collaborative, the focus is on clarity and efficiency rather than broad exploration.
This may be right for you if you:
-
Are asking a specific question (e.g., "Do I have ADHD?")
-
Need documentation for accommodations or treatment planning
-
Want focused feedback and concrete next steps
-
Do not need or want a comprehensive psychological profile at this time
