Black On Black Therapy PLLC will now be expanding to offer psychological evaluations for immigration in Illinois and Florida.

can be a valuable addition to an immigration case by providing an in-depth mental health assessment.

Trauma is not always visible. Being able to prove that a person has experienced trauma or PTSD can often times be the deciding evidence on if that person is allowed to legally remain in the United States.

For example, the Journal of Immigrant and Minority Health reported in 2008 that asylum cases with mental health evaluations saw a 89% success rate versus the national average of success without an evaluation sitting at 37.5%.

I LOVE me some yoga and I am always talking about the benefits. I'm actually in a yoga teacher training program that I took to deepen my personal practice... Then I realized I could bring yoga principles to the therapy screen without even striking a pose!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
September is National Yoga Month so it gives me yet another excuse to sing the yoga praises! It really does help me personally to relax my mind and relieve stress... So I wanted to focus on the benefits of yoga to mental wellness.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

If you read my previous post you know we have time for this conversation...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Culture is one of the most important factors of resiliency when it comes to su***de prevention. When I say resiliency I am not talking about just sucking up the pain and moving on to grind another day.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The resiliency I am talking about is acknowledging your pain and hurt, adopting tools to manage the distress, and THEN move on to healing.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What black card would you add to the deck?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

September 6th-12th is National Su***de Prevention Week. If you missed the posts from this past week visit/follow .
