We aim to end the stigma that keeps People of Color from finding the help they need and deserve. About Dr. Chanelle Richards, Ph.D.

This is a space that presents mental health topics in a way that is accessible and relevant to you. I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in the state of NY, with 14 years of experience treating adults, couples, and adolescents. I have specialized training in psychological and neuropsychological testing, as well as focus in working with professional minorities and women of color. I practice from an integrative approach and I have extensive experience in treating anxiety and mood disorders, relationship issues, stress management, and major life changes in diverse clinical settings, including correctional facilities, nursing homes and rehabilitative centers, and private practice.

Becoming a parent changes everything — including you.

Your mental health deserves as much care as your baby does.

Support, rest, and compassion aren’t luxuries; they’re foundations. 💛

Sometimes you don’t need words to release what’s heavy.

Your body carries tension, but it can also let it go.

Gentle, simple actions can bring you back to safety and calm. 🤍

Trauma responses are your body’s way of trying to keep you safe.

The goal isn’t to judge them—but to gently understand and support yourself through them. 🫂

Grounding isn’t about escaping your emotions. It’s about creating enough safety in your nervous system to feel them without drowning in them.

When your day feels heavy, choose grounding that works with your sensory and cognitive systems — not against them.

Your plate is part of your emotional ecosystem.

These foods don’t “fix” moods — but they do influence neurotransmitters, inflammation, and energy regulation, which shape how your mind feels.

It’s about giving your body more of what it needs to emotionally self-regulate, not chasing quick fixes.

Your brain doesn’t know the difference between someone else being cruel to you and you being cruel to yourself.

Every time you beat yourself up, you’re triggering the same regions that process social pain — rejection, embarrassment, humiliation.

This is why harsh self-talk leaves you feeling heavy, anxious, and even physically tense.

Becoming aware of your inner dialogue and shifting to compassionate self-talk can literally rewire your brain to feel safer.

It’s not about ignoring mistakes — it’s about speaking to yourself in a way that promotes growth instead of pain.

Kids open up when they feel you want to know them, not just their grades or behavior.

After school, swap “How was school?” for questions that invite stories, emotions, and moments of connection.

The goal isn’t to interrogate — it’s to make talking to you feel safe and natural.

This is how you build trust, emotional vocabulary, and problem-solving skills that last a lifetime.

Being positive doesn’t mean faking a smile or ignoring the hard stuff.
🌧 It means facing the storms AND choosing hope anyway.
🌞 It means showing up for yourself when things feel messy.
🌱 Positivity is about resilience — not perfection.
What’s one storm you turned into a lesson?

Healing isn’t always about returning to who you were — it’s about growing into someone new. Every shift, every scar, every lesson is shaping the stronger version of you. 🌿

Sometimes it’s not what you say, but how safe someone feels with you. 🫂

If your loved one doesn’t listen, it doesn’t mean you failed — it means they need empathy more than solutions.

This September, let’s slow down and choose gentleness over pressure. Healing often comes in the small, quiet shifts — listening to your body, breathing deeply, and finding joy in little things. Which of these intentions speaks most to you? 🌿
