Kenyatta Black Counseling is more than an internship site, they are a supportive community that has been a key part of my journey to become a therapist. As I mentioned before it is inspiring to see those who look like me, especially black women in the mental health/counseling field. From the weekly site supervisions with open dialogue to discuss clients, therapeutic techniques and or everyday concerns is why I love Kenyatta Black Counseling.

Kenyatta, was a phenomenal supervisor throughout my journey as an lpc- intern (formal BHEC title). Not only is she supportive, she is flexible and pushes you to reach your goals. She is ethical and ensures that all clinicians reach their professional goals. If you are looking for a knowledgeable, innovative, ethical and supportive supervisor. I would recommend Kenyatta!

I had the pleasure of working with Kenyatta while I was an LPC Associate. She is extremely knowledgeable about therapeutic modalities. Kenyatta is very skilled at translating theory into practice with clients and demonstrating how to apply those theories to clients in session. The supervision experience was educational, engaging, and rewarding. I highly recommend Kenyatta Black as an LPC Supervisor.

I am so thankful for the experience of working with Kenyetta. The knowledge, wisdom, and support I gained was exceptional. Kenyetta takes her time with each student and helps build them up as a clinician. I learned so much during the experience that I will carry in my heart forever. I highly recommend supervision with Kenyetta Black Counseling because you will gain therapeutic information and skills on leadership skills, growing yourself, and intricate details for having a business mindset.

Having the opportunity to intern under Kenyatta Black Counseling provided me the opportunity to grow in my professional life, which helped to develop my professional identity to better serve clients. Being supervised by Kenyatta Black allowed me to experience her in other roles outside of a supervisor, but also a teacher, evaluator, counselor, and consultant. The developmental approach that is taken has equipped me to be competent in standard mental health assessment and safe care of clients. I have no doubt that you also will get the supervision needed under Kenyatta Black Counseling to develop necessary skills and the practice of ethical counseling to protect your clients and become a competent practitioner.

I started my practicum, internship 1 and 2, with Kenyatta Black Counseling. Mrs. Black has given me the opportunity to be the Practicum/LPC Associate Coordinator for the business which has allowed for professional and personal growth. The confidence and mentorship Mrs. Black has provided has given me the empowerment that I thought did not exist. My experience has been exceptional and supportive. Kenyatta Black is very knowledgeable in the field of counseling, as well as a great role model to help build and establish novel therapists in the field of counseling.

When I first started looking for a practicum site. I wanted to find a site where I could connect my values and core beliefs without compromising a little of me. But that was not the case at Kenyatta Black Counseling LLC. Mrs. Black and her colleagues were everything I prayed for. They accepted me with open arms and I have grown so much under Mrs. Black’s Supervision. Mrs. Black is honest and straight to the point. She will provide you with knowledge and wisdom during one-on-one or group supervision. If you are ready to be part of a family and not just a team, then Kenyatta Black Counseling LLC
