“Therapy is important. And being a Black woman that was not something that was pushed in my community, it was always 'pray about it, God will take care of it'. I believe in a higher power but I also believe that that higher power gives you people on Earth to help walk you through some of your darkest times and help you cope and deal."

- Janelle Monae, Artist 

Seeking support from a therapist does not take away from your faith

• You get to seek support from a professional AND pray about it. Just like you may pray about a health issue you’re experiencing and see a doctor. 

• It doesn’t mean you’re less spiritual or pushing your faith to the side.

• Therapy provides a safe place to process anything you’re going through one-on-one with a professional. A good therapist will not make you compromise on your values or beliefs. You can even find a faith-based therapist to work with.
