Happy Holidays and Happy New Year! ❤️✨

I’m super excited about this coming year and all it holds. For those who don’t know me, and welcome to those who are new, my name is Chima. I’m a license marriage and family therapist in New York, Virginia, and Florida, and a doctoral student in developmental psychology.

I specialize in treating trauma. Here you’ll find authentic and relatable content to help parents and teens bridge the gap, language for what many are feeling, and tools to decode what’s really going on beneath the surface. If you’re new here, you’re welcome. If you’ve been here, thank you for growing with me!

Huge thank you to 📸 for capturing these beautiful photos.

Often, parents make the assumption that sudden shifts in their teens behavior is just hormones or an “attitude”, while this might be true at times, it’s not always case. Those sudden shifts might be signaling something deeper going on. It’s important to always pause, inquire and intentionally check in with your teen.

What false narratives keep replaying in your mind, about yourself, especially in moments of transition or challenges? Lies lose power when they’re named.

Family secrets don’t protect children, they protect dysfunction. The silence allows the same patterns to perpetuate and repeat itself across generations.
