“I wasted 8 months in the wrong therapy approach through BetterHelp before finding The Empowering Space. In our first call, they immediately identified why CBT hadn’t worked and explained why EMDR was perfect for my trauma type. Six months later, I’m finally sleeping through the night.”
– Jennifer M., Marketing Director

WHO WE ARE
A therapist who gets your life shouldn't be this hard to find.
Too many people spend their first few sessions explaining their world before the actual work can start. Explaining what it’s like to be the only one in the room. Explaining their relationship structure. Explaining why their family dynamics are complicated in ways a standard framework doesn’t account for.
We built this practice around the people most therapy wasn’t built for.
That means therapists who don’t need you to explain yourself before the work can start. Who already understand the room you’re describing. Every therapist here was chosen not just for their credentials, but for who they are and who they understand.
NOT SURE WHERE TO START?
You don't have to figure this out on your own.
If you’re not ready to book yet, that’s okay. Send us a message and someone from our intake team will reach out to help you find the right fit.
We typically respond within one business day.

Addressing Your Concerns
About Online Trauma Therapy
If you have any additional questions, feel free to contact our support team for further assistance!
We’ve been specializing in virtual therapy for trauma since 2020 – long before it was trendy. Our trauma-informed therapists are specifically trained in online CBT and EMDR delivery. Many clients actually report feeling safer processing trauma from their own space, and you’ll never worry about running into someone you know.
Unlike corporate platforms that often don’t accept insurance at all, we work with most major plans for virtual therapy for trauma. During your strategy call, we’ll verify your benefits and discuss all options. Many clients find our personalized care costs less than constantly switching therapists on BetterHelp.
That’s exactly why you need trauma specialists, not generalists. Corporate platforms often match you with whoever’s available for “therapy” in general. We only work with trauma, anxiety, and life transitions – it’s literally all we do. The “failed therapy” usually means wrong approach or wrong therapist match.
Because our trauma-informed therapist team knows each other personally, transitions are seamless. A real human being made your original match (not an algorithm), so they can thoughtfully re-match you without losing progress. You won’t get shuffled to a random new therapist who knows nothing about your case.
As a Black-owned, woman-owned practice specializing in online therapy for trauma, we deeply understand how marginalized identities compound trauma. You won’t have to educate us about microaggressions, generational trauma, or cultural factors affecting your healing journey.
That’s exactly what your free strategy session determines. Most people guess wrong about CBT vs EMDR for trauma. We’ll assess your specific trauma type, symptoms, and healing style to recommend the most effective approach – whether that’s CBT, EMDR, or a combination.
