Mary Ann Francis LMFT of Mending Hearts, LLC Therapy is a process. Connection, realness, compassion, and nurturing the mind, body and spirit is what Mending Hearts LLC is about in bringing that process to life. For me, therapy doesn't have to be cliche or a stigma, versus just being able to talk about real life s***.
Power of Choices LLC Power of Choices LLC is a Black owned, BIPOC operated therapy practice that assists children, adolescents, adults, and families on their journeys to build and sustain growth. Life presents circumstances that we may or may not have control over, but we always have a choice in how we react and feel. We work together with individuals to identify and act on the choices that ultimately align with a happier, more authentic lifestyle.
