Black Therapists for Black Womxn
We keep it real and keep you well.
Our Mission
To allow Black Women the space to be: Spiritually Free, Emotionally Aware, Mentally Woke, Sexually Pleasure-centered, and totally you in melanated glory!
FEATURED IN
our therapists are Racially-Relatable, trauma-trained and licensed to heal.
We are Black womxn, and we make it our business to know how to help you with your concerns. You won’t have to spend all of your time explaining the Black experience and we’re certainly not going to deny it. We are here to: 1. Validate the existence that you have. 2. Help you live your best life.
sex(uality), racism, colorism,— we don’t shy away from ‘taboo’ topics.
Everyone wants to be out here with Meg the Stallion moves but got bad knees and backs. Wanting to “help” Black womxn but shy away from talking about race. Trivializing the way colorism/texturism has shown up in the lives of Black womxn. We ain’t scared. Therapy isn’t just polite conversation. It’s real work which means getting into the nitty gritty. Our job is helping Black women divest and heal from systems of harm while defining new shit that breathes light into your sex(uality) and mental health.
The AnnodRight Difference.
You Access The Whole Team’s Expertise
Having one therapist is cool and all, but what about a team? We meet with each other weekly for Y-O-U! Each therapist has a different perspective, a way of doing things, and expertise where it comes to our clients. This means that you get the BEST care we have to give as a collective. We work as an actual TEAM. That means you get the benefit of our collective knowledge. So don’t stress too much about which one of us is the BEST fit, we got you!
We Advocate for Your Well-Being
We recognize that a lot of the hurts we experience that drive us to therapy feeling anxious, depressed, and downright shitty about ourselves, did not come to us in isolation. We get a lot of it from family, friends, and society at large. So we work with companies and organizations to improve not just with “diversity” but also true equity and belonging so they can work on reducing harm to you when you show up! Feel free to tell them about us.
The AnnodRight Story
Every idea starts with a problem. Ours was obvious: who serves Black womxn as the point, and not just as a side point? Enter: AnnodRight. Founded in 2016 by Dr. Donna Oriowo. Annod is her first name backward and is a homage to her siblings since they used to spend time trying to say things backwards from reciting the alphabet to saying their names. But it is so much more than Dr. Donna’s first name being backward. The name AnnodRight is also to tell you that just because something is backward or makes no sense or has no meaning to someone else, doesn’t mean that it is wrong. It means that your perspective in life is unique. That perspective should be seen, respected, and appreciated. We appreciate those things about you. Our aim is not to “fix” you, cuz you aren’t broken. We instead aim to help you find the right direction for you, stand in the conviction of it, and build the life that you desire.
