ETherapy for Persons of Color 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.

This season can bring up so many different emotions.

Wherever you are and whatever you’re carrying, this is your reminder that you’re not alone.

Sending love, gentleness, and understanding your way. ❤️🎄

The holidays can bring joy, but they can also bring pressure, expectations, and a lot of emotions we don’t always talk about.

If this season feels different for you, softer, heavier, or simply not as festive — you’re not alone.

It’s okay to do Christmas in the way that supports your wellbeing.

December can feel busy, but it doesn’t have to feel overwhelming.

This month, choose small habits that help you stay grounded, organised, and connected.

A gentle reminder: you’re allowed to slow down, set boundaries, and make space for what truly matters. 💛

Emotional distress isn’t solved by pressure, correction, or logic.

When someone is upset, statements like these shut down safety, amplify defensiveness, and reinforce shame.

Support begins with attunement — not control.

Sometimes the most healing thing you can offer is presence, curiosity, and a willingness to understand their internal world.

Overthinking doesn’t mean you’re broken — it means your mind is trying to keep you safe.
But peace comes when you learn to trust yourself more than your fears. 🌙

Healing is about inner repair, not reopening old doors.
You can make peace without returning to the place that hurt you.

Closure doesn’t always come through contact — sometimes, it begins with distance. 🌿

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.
