Empower Therapeutic Support Services LLC was founded by Cedric Weatherspoon, MA, LMFT and Dominique Jones, MA, LMFT. Since 2007, Empower has been providing individual, couples, group, and family therapy to individuals and families who are experiencing multiple stressors (financial, relationships, mental health issues). Through our practice we are able to address critical issues that go unrecogni

zed or untreated in traditional therapy settings. In 2014 Dominique Jones and Cedric Weatherspoon want to focus their energies to develop a practice that will not only support people who come to therapy for traditional reasons, but address issues that are often ignored by society such as issues with race, racism, and systemic oppression. Empower Therapeutic Services LLC is committed to addressing these problems on a larger scale through reform, advocacy , and training.

I’m excited to share that I’ll be presenting at the Black Men Healing Conference 2025 on June 26, 2025, at St. Paul College in St. Paul, MN! 🖤

My workshop, “Boys to Men: Improving Relationships Between Black Fathers and Sons Through a Trauma-Informed Lens,” will explore how intergenerational trauma, systemic oppression, and societal pressures impact the way Black fathers and sons connect and communicate.

Together, we’ll unpack how culturally grounded, trauma-informed practices can help us rebuild trust, develop emotional intelligence, and create stronger, more nurturing relationships. 🙌🏾

This session is for anyone passionate about healing, family, fatherhood, and breaking harmful cycles in our communities. Join me and a powerful lineup of Black men doing the deep work to heal, grow, and lead.

Survivors of gun violence face more than just physical wounds. Emotional scars run deep, often leading to anxiety, depression, and PTSD. Furthermore, the impact doesn’t stop there—family members, friends, and communities can also experience secondary trauma, bearing the emotional weight of their loved one's pain.

The Harriet Initiative is here to help survivors reclaim their lives. Our trauma recovery group offers a safe space to heal, share, and rebuild together.

You don’t have to face it alone. Join our community of survivors today. 💪🏽
