Your story matters.

Culturally responsive care recognizes that culture, identity, and lived experiences shape how we understand mental health and healing.

At SCCT, we strive to provide care that listens, respects, and reflects the diverse communities we serve.

Everyone deserves support that honors who they are.

Trauma-informed care recognizes that behavior doesn’t exist in a vacuum.

Our experiences, especially difficult ones, can shape how we respond to stress, relationships, and the world around us.

Instead of asking “What’s wrong with you?”
trauma-informed care asks “What happened to you?”

Compassion and understanding create space for healing.

Our Story

Our journey began when the three of us, descendants of enslaved people (grandmother, mother, father) who experienced trauma in our own way, decided we wanted to create a brave, supportive, trauma-informed space to allow our customers (team members and clients alike) to learn, heal, and grow. Thus, The Southern Center for Choice Theory, LLC was born.

After much deliberation, we decided on the name because we knew that we could teach anyone choice theory who was willing to listen. We also wanted our reach to be far - throughout the southern part of the US and beyond.

When asked about our “niche” we decided that all people having experienced some form of trauma and they are interested in the healing part vs the symptom part of their traumas were a perfect match for us. We provide primary, secondary and tertiary prevention services to individuals across the lifespan.

We believe that people are and should be the experts in their lives and we are guides assisting them in finding the true north. For now, we are a part-time agency with a full-time mission - ending the violence that so negatively impacts all our relationships. This includes interpersonal violence & sexual violence, community violence, workplace violence, violence related to racism or any other ism and all of the resulting traumas.

We want to help people learn to take back the control in their lives. We teach CT because it is a theory that teaches the idea of personal freedom. Personal freedom over your mental as well as physical health. We see CT as the perfect framework upon with to build the life you say you want. Is is a perfect lens through which to observe the individual. Our “story catching change agent” Ms. Cissé uses CT to explain the how and why of behavior and Reality Therapy to help clients find the change they desire. We are always making choices, what are the choices we make that impact our mental health?

The early days...

Having being given the SO and FVIP parts of an existing business made ownership a little easier. However, it still included a significant learning curve that needed to be overcome. All of the legal stuff, the money stuff, the people stuff combined almost made it too much for us. It was wonderful to not have to do all of the work alone. We had each other and Ms. Zenobia, Richard, Carmen, Solomon, Linda, Nomsa, and a few others who helped hold things together.

Later...

Our therapist was added to some insurance panels and we got a contract with DFCS and things started to pick up...we are still growing.

These days...

We are remaining focused on our goals and adapting to new challenges and opportunities. We work with the whole family and the person within the environment. This meaning we know that we can’t help a person to heal their mental health without helping to ensure that their physical needs are also addressed. We work collaboratively with many other agencies within and around our community.
