The feedback shows it wants you to name the clients you help. Try this:

If you’re an adult or teen feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, relationship challenges, life changes, or difficult experiences, you don’t have to sort through it alone. I want you to feel heard and respected, including in the parts of your story shaped by culture and identity. As a Black therapist, I value understanding each person’s lived experience without making assumptions. My style is warm and collaborative: we’ll build on your strengths, make room for what’s hard, and work at a pace that feels right for you.

My approach is collaborative and tailored to your needs. I draw from CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, attachment-based, and trauma-informed practices to help you understand patterns, strengthen coping skills, and make changes that fit your goals. We’ll build on your strengths while making room for the challenges you’re facing.

The first session is an opportunity for us to understand what brings you to therapy and what you would like to change or better understand. I’ll ask about your current concerns, relevant personal history, relationships, strengths, and the goals that matter most to you. We’ll also discuss what you can expect from therapy and how we might approach the work. You’re welcome to ask questions or let me know if something feels unclear. You decide what you’re ready to share, and we can identify a useful starting point together without trying to address everything at once.
