Rashida Black

Rashida N. Black, LCSW, specializes in trauma, identity, and substance use disorders. With a background in music and mental health, she helps artists navigate the unique challenges of creative careers, including burnout, shame resilience, and emotional regulation. Rashida’s work focuses on building sustainable, holistic practices for well-being, particularly in high-pressure industries.

Rashida's therapeutic approaches address a wide range of challenges including racial injustice, gender and sexuality issues, shame, grief, religious trauma, and somatic symptoms.

Clients can expect to leave sessions with greater self-awareness, practical coping strategies, and a deeper sense of empowerment. My approach is holistic, meaning we’ll explore not just thoughts and emotions, but also how physical well-being, social connections, and spiritual practices contribute to mental health. Whether working through past trauma, navigating life transitions, or building resilience, clients will gain insight, tools for self-regulation, and a clearer path toward healing and personal growth.
