Hello,

​

I am Dr. Meag-gan, a Stanford trained Psychologist who specializes in restoring worth and wellness for Black people. I am a second-generation, Jamaican-American, mother of two.

​

I conceptualized, and work through a Liberation Psychology and Cognitive-Behavioral framework. Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) permits me to provide a goal-oriented structure, concrete skills, and comprehensive therapeutic support while addressing systems of oppression and discrimination in our lived experiences. I welcome all sexual orientations, ethnicities, nationalities, economic backgrounds, and genders.

​

Therapy with me begins with an assessment of our fit for working together. I conduct a diagnostic evaluation or intake across the first session. During this time, I will assess whether I can be of benefit to you. After starting treatment, I will be an active guide during our sessions. Prompting you with points of reflection as well as teaching new skills. Therapeutic success for me is when new understandings, new behaviors, and self-compassion have been acquired so that symptoms are reduced or management is at a level to which you feel that you are able to function, and flourish without the support of regular counseling.

​

Therapy is a collaborative, active process. In order for your therapy to be most successful, you will need to work on things we talk about both during our sessions and outside of our sessions. You are expected to play an active role in your therapy, including collaborating with me to identify treatment goals, completing questionnaires when appropriate, and designing and completing homework assignments.

​

I look forward to working with you!

A bit about my approach to therapy

​

Self-compassion is always a theme included in all my techniques used. My experiences locally and abroad have exposed me to quite a variety of life situations. Therefore, I can truly make a safe, nonjudgmental space where we can journey together to uncover your pathway to peace & healing. I thank you for taking the time to consider inviting me on your journey.

​

What you can expect from our first session

​

People who work with me learn quickly how find small pauses in the day to be more attuned to their self talk and basic needs like eating and other bodily functions. I make these things a priority in our work because we typically have our own answers to solving whatever is presenting as a problem, but many of us have forgotten how to trust ourselves.

With twenty-three years of experiences in health/human services, I am a clinical provider in love with the human condition with direct purpose to assist others in their journey through this thing called life. I have years of experience working with the disadvantaged, the marginalized, the excluded and the disenfranchised. Beginning my career in residential facilities supporting at risk adolescent males, I have acquired an infinity to uplifting and supporting those that society have deemed unworthy or invalid. Currently I have a private practice where I meet with people from various socio-economic backgrounds, with a myriad of complications that they are struggling with in their everyday life.

​

As a practicing clinician, I am certified in Trauma-Informed Care and Interpersonal Psychotherapy. I currently work with the following populations: adolescents, adults (18-65), older adults, those suffering with depression, anxiety, trauma-related stressors, PTSD, substance use disorders in remission, personality disorders, stress disorders, racism, sexism, LGBTQIA concerns, identity concerns, and socio-economic stressors.

Welcome to Plus 5 Wellness – A Space for Healing, Growth, and Empowerment. I’m Chemenda, a licensed therapist dedicated to helping Black women navigate the complexities of anxiety, depression, and the emotional weight of cultural and societal expectations. As a Black woman myself, I understand the silent struggles—the pressure to be strong, the exhaustion of constantly showing up for others, and the deep desire to find balance while still chasing your goals.

​

At my practice, I offer a space where you don’t have to be "strong" all the time. Together, we’ll unpack the stress, the past wounds, and the self-doubt that hold you back. Through a blend of evidence-based approaches and culturally attuned care, I help my clients rediscover their inner peace, regain control of their lives, and build relationships that feel fulfilling and authentic.

​

Whether you’re struggling with overwhelming anxiety, feeling stuck in a cycle of burnout, or working through past trauma, I am here to support you. This is your journey to healing, and you don’t have to walk it alone. Let’s start this journey together. Ready to take the next step? Contact me today to schedule a consultation.I have been licenses
