Kalila Farrakhan

Hey—I’m Kalila Farrakhan, and my niche is helping Black women and anyone ready to work through the real-life stuff that weighs heavy—relationships that drain you, family dynamics that get messy, trauma you’ve been carrying, or simply the journey of figuring out you. I’m early in my career, which means I’m bringing a fresh perspective, the latest evidence-based tools, and zero “that’s how it’s always been done” energy. More than anything, I’m here to listen—really listen—so therapy isn’t just talk, it’s tailored to your story, your values, and your goals. ~ What You Can Expect in Session: Our time together is your safe, judgment-free zone. You set the pace—we can dive straight into the deep end or start with the small stuff and build from there. I’ll bring curiosity, compassion, and a little real-talk honesty to help you connect the dots and take the next step. We’ll celebrate your wins (even the baby ones), unpack the patterns that keep showing up, and create changes you can actually use in your day-to-day. Think of it as a mix of deep conversations, affirmations you can believe in, and strategies you can put into action. ~ How I Work: Therapy with me isn’t one-size-fits-all—it’s your size, your fit. I pull from approaches like: Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) – aligning your actions with your values Person-Centered Therapy – keeping you in control of your journey Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT) – safely working through difficult experiences Internal Family Systems (IFS) – making sense of all the “parts” of you Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) – managing emotions without losing yourself Integrative/Holistic Therapy – seeing you as a whole person, not a problem to fix We’ll blend these approaches in a way that fits your personality, your needs, and your pace. ~ How I Help: Whether you’re… Navigating a breakup that shook your world Learning how to set boundaries and stick to them Working through family tensions that have been there for years Untangling old trauma Figuring out how to love and trust yourself again …I’m here to help you build self-awareness, strengthen relationships, manage stress, and heal in a way that honors who you are. ~ What It’s Like to Work With Me: Imagine sitting down with someone who sees you, not just your “issues.” I’ll ask thoughtful questions, hold space for your emotions (yes, all of them), and make sure there’s room for both laughter and the hard conversations. Therapy with me is a partnership—you bring your truth, I bring the tools, and we build something together. One step, one insight, one breakthrough at a time. Now accepting new clients—in-person and virtual. If you’re ready for therapy that’s affirming, culturally sensitive, and built around your life, let’s talk and see if we vibe.
