Courtney C. Mick, LCSW

I am Courtney: Black Woman. Jamaican-American. Mom. Social Worker. Therapist. Educator. Daughter. Friend. As you can see, the list is endless. There are many hats worn and multiple roles filled, but the priority of all of that is me. It took a while to figure that out—take care of you first to be able to care for others, but I did and now I am here to teach you how to do the same.

I am a New Jersey based, Licensed Clinical Social Worker and the owner of Black Women’s Wellness Co.™ and Courtney Chanel LLC. I focus my time and energy on promoting the mental health and wellness education of Black Millennials, students and their families. It drives the work that I do to be able to connect with our community and support our healing.

It is my belief that if millennials understand mental health and wellness, then we can bridge the gap between generations.

Olivia Yearns, LCSW

Hi! I am Olivia Yearns. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in New Jersey.

I have over 20 years working with individuals and families in the child welfare system. I graduated with Honors from Rutgers University. I am a lifelong learner and see the benefits in my therapy sessions from continued education through trainings, reading, and keeping up with the latest research. I enjoy hearing how well my clients are doing and seeing their progress in treatment.

I understand the plight of a mom, a caregiver, and a woman trying to manage it all and find time for yourself and not feel guilty about it. This can lead to feeling burnt out, anxious, depressed, and overwhelmed.

I will support you in exploring your history and uncovering patterns that no longer serve you. I will provide you with tools and techniques so that you can reach your potential and ultimately stop coming to therapy. My hope in our work together in session and your practice outside of session; you will begin to feel more in control over your life, your emotions, and your happiness.

From my years of experience, I know you have the ability to make big changes in your life. If you are ready to do the work, explore what is getting in your way and figure out what to do next, then I can help you recharge and find a balance; whether you’ve lost it or don’t feel like you’ve ever had it.

I am so glad you are here.

Felecia L. Brodie, LCSW

If you are reading this, you likely are already seeking change in your life. Therapy can be an amazing healing, rewarding, life-changing first step.

My name is Felecia L Brodie and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with nearly 20 years of post-graduate clinical experience. My areas of focus include adolescent/young adult issues; anxiety; depression; collaborative problem solving; coping skills; effective communication; grief and loss; intergenerational work; interpersonal functioning; life transitions; self-esteem challenges; stress management; and trauma.

Therapy can be hard to explain or describe in general terms because no two people will present with the same issues in the same way. But you can expect that the roadblocks that you are experiencing, whether hidden or visible, we will work collaboratively to find/discover solutions that work for you.

Since therapy often involves discussing difficult, intense, unpleasant, uncomfortable and/or painful aspects of your life experiences, you will likely have strong feelings associated with doing so. Feelings such as anger, guilt, sadness, frustration, remorse, helplessness, shame and isolation are a few of the difficult feelings you may encounter as part of the change process. Those feelings are natural, normal and healthy.

Successful therapy treatment has countless benefits. Those benefits include, but are not limited to developing a healthier relationship with yourself and others; significant stress reduction; improved ability to set and maintain healthy boundaries; increased self-awareness & self-confidence; greater perception; improved understanding of personal power; improved ability to problem-solve effectively; an increased sense of connectedness and finding solutions to specific problems.

Creating a therapeutic environment that allows you to learn, integrate, take emotional risks toward change; grow; practice and sharpen new skills is an integral part of how I engage with you in the change process.

I am energetic, passionate, compassionate, empathetic, humorous, highly intelligent, a natural giver, a motivator and a change maker.

I look forward to helping you achieve the therapy goals that matter to you the most. Reach out. You are not alone. Felecia@blackwomenswellnessco.com

Robyn V. White, LCSW

Robyn is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of clinical experience.  She has worked extensively with a diverse population in a variety of settings. Mostly, her work has been with adolescents, women, and families in schools,  outpatient programs, and intensive in-home settings.   Robyn strives to provide a safe and comfortable environment  where you will learn to utilize skills, determine strengths, and establish and complete goals as you move toward becoming your best self.  

Some treatment approaches Robyn utilizes are Trauma-Informed, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Strength-Based Therapy.  She believes therapy is an interactive process, and sees clients as the experts in their lives and meets them where they are. She wants her clients to feel that what they are sharing is important and that their words are heard. Many clients struggle with trust, so she wants them to know that they can depend on her to be genuine and honest. Through the therapy process and the building of the therapeutic relationship, clients can access their inner strengths to grow into the person they are meant to be.

She is also currently pursuing her master’s in Clinical Behavioral Psychology in hopes to eventually use her platform and expertise to influence change in the execution and research of multicultural psychotherapy. What’s most important to her is spreading awareness on mental health/burnout and becoming a role model for little black girls with big dreams! Some self-care activities that she swears by includes going through her entire wash day routine reading on the rocks at her local state park, setting healthy boundaries, and asking for help when she needs it.
