OPERATION EMPOWER GIRLS
The Youth: Girls II Women
Our Future
Support groups bring together those who are going through or have gone through similar experiences. We understand how being labeled as a youth with needs of sorts (emotional, mental, behavioral, etc.) can affect the mindset of our youth.
It’s important to us for students to believe in themselves and continue their journey towards personal growth and success. Rather than focusing on problematic behaviors, our approach acknowledges how underlying issues contribute to unhealthy coping mechanisms.
We don’t necessarily believe that a child is troubled, but rather understand that they may have faced difficult experiences in their life and haven’t been equipped with the skills to overcome them on their own. We try to implement them with the tools needed to overcome trials and tribulations.
​
Every element of our program is dedicated to helping the youth gain evidence that they can achieve their goals and face their self-doubt–in relationships, in school, and in how they perceive themselves. Our relationship-based approach is dedicated to teaching the youth more effective communication skills and developing trust. Our goal is to help students develop an individual academic plan with specific, measurable goals.

Often times the young will speak into the old. ~Tanisha Wilder, President

Parental Support
Parenting Without A Handbook
Parents frequently ask about parental support groups of other parents facing various challenges. Support groups can be a great place to speak with other parents that are going through the same frustrations and stressors that being a parent can bring.
95% of the CHICK Therapy team consists of moms. Parenting does not come with a manual. We seem to learn along the way. It is comforting to know you are not alone in this journey. We are here to serve as support for the parents as well; mother-to-mother in any way we can.
​
Our parental support services are an essential component of our overall mission to empower women and girls. We understand that parenting can be challenging and that the well-being of children is deeply intertwined with the well-being of their parents. By providing parental support, we aim to strengthen family dynamics, enhance parenting skills, and promote a nurturing and supportive environment for children.
​
Through our parental support services, we offer:
​
Parenting Workshops: We conduct educational workshops that focus on various parenting topics, such as effective communication, positive discipline techniques, building self-esteem in children, understanding and managing emotions, and fostering healthy relationships within the family. These workshops provide parents with valuable insights and practical tools to navigate the complexities of parenting.
​
Support Groups: We facilitate support groups specifically for parents, where they can connect with other parents facing similar challenges and share their experiences. These support groups provide a safe space for parents to express their concerns, acquire support from others, and gain perspective on different parenting strategies.
​
Individual Counseling: Our experienced therapists offer individual counseling sessions for parents who require personalized support. These sessions address specific parenting issues, explore emotions, and provide guidance and coping strategies for parents. Through individual counseling, we aim to empower parents to overcome obstacles and strengthen their parenting skills.
​
Parent-Child Relationship Building: We conduct sessions that focus on enhancing the parent-child relationship. These sessions help parents understand their children's needs, strengthen emotional connections, and create a supportive and loving environment for healthy growth and development.

Higher Education Assistance
Big Sisters &
Extended Aunties
Family Isn't Always Blood
At CHICK Therapy, we offer a girls empowerment program that includes big sister and extended auntie services. Our goal is to create a supportive and empowering community for young girls, providing them with role models who can guide and inspire them.
​
Our big sister program matches young girls with older, more experienced girls who serve as mentors and confidantes. These "big sisters" serve as positive role models, offering guidance, encouragement, and support to their younger counterparts. They are trained to provide emotional support, help with schoolwork, and assist with personal development.
​
Through our big sister services, we match each girl with a carefully selected and trained mentor who becomes a role model, confidante, and friend. Our mentors, or big sisters, are women who have gone through similar experiences and have a genuine desire to make a positive impact in the lives of young girls.
​
The big sisters in our program provide a safe and nurturing environment where girls can express themselves, share their thoughts and concerns, and receive guidance and advice. They serve as a consistent source of support, helping girls develop confidence, self-esteem, and leadership skills.
​
Our program also offers various workshops and activities designed to empower girls and help them develop essential life skills such as communication, self-care, goal-setting, and resilience. We provide a space where girls can explore their passions and potential, while also learning about important topics like healthy relationships, body image, and self-expression.
​
In addition to the big sister program, we also offer extended "auntie" services. These services connect young girls with women from various backgrounds and professions who act as extended family members, offering guidance and support as needed. These "extended aunties" can share valuable life experiences, offer career advice, and help girls navigate the challenges of growing up.
​
While we provide traditional services to include cohorts, non-traditional approaches have worked best when it comes to providing empowerment support and services within our girls group as often girls need tailored services to address their unique and specific needs and experiences.
Traditional cohort services typically involve group therapy sessions where girls with similar concerns or issues come together to support one another and learn coping strategies. While this approach can be beneficial, it may not always address the individual needs of each girl in the group.
​
Non-traditional approaches, on the other hand, can offer more personalized and tailored support to girls. These approaches may include individual counseling or therapy sessions, mentorship programs, skill-building workshops, and creative activities such as art therapy or outdoor experiential learning.
​
Individual sessions allow girls to explore their specific concerns in a safe and confidential space. This can be particularly helpful for girls who feel more comfortable sharing their thoughts and feelings one-on-one. Trained therapists can guide and empower girls to develop coping strategies and make positive changes in their lives.
​
Mentorship programs can provide girls with positive role models and support systems. Through regular interactions with a mentor, girls can receive guidance, advice, and encouragement. This personalized attention can help them build confidence and develop life skills.
​
Skill-building workshops can focus on areas such as communication, self-esteem, stress management, or decision-making. These workshops provide girls with practical tools they can use to navigate challenges in their daily lives. By equipping them with these skills, girls feel more empowered to make informed and healthy choices.
​
In conclusion, while traditional cohort services have their benefits, non-traditional approaches are often more effective in providing tailored support and empowerment services to girls. By considering the individual needs of each girl and offering a variety of approaches, CHICK Therapy can better serve and empower girls within the group.
​
At CHICK Therapy, we believe that every girl deserves to have a strong support system that encourages her to dream big, overcome obstacles, and become the best version of herself. Through our big sister services, we are committed to empowering young girls and helping them thrive in all aspects of their lives.
​
If you are interested in becoming a mentor or enrolling your daughter in our program, please contact us for more information. Together, we can empower girls and help them thrive!

Elder Services
Quality of Life
Seniors are the backbones of our communities. We must pay homage to them. Certainly, they get tired and deserve a break here and there. No matter how old we are, we are all entitled to be treated as full members of our communities. Yet elder abuse is a significant challenge to our nation’s belief in justice for all.
​
The purpose of elderly social services is to support and enhance the overall well-being and quality of life of older adults. These services are designed to meet the unique needs of the elderly population and address various aspects of their lives, including physical, emotional, social, and financial aspects. The key goals of elderly social services include:
Support and Assistance: Provide assistance and support to older adults to help them maintain their independence, dignity, and self-sufficiency. This may include assistance with daily activities, such as personal care, housekeeping, or meal preparation.
Health and Medical Services: Ensure that older adults have access to healthcare services and resources, including regular check-ups, preventative care, and assistance with managing chronic illnesses or disabilities.
​
Socialization and Community Involvement: Many older adults may feel isolated or lonely, especially if they have lost loved ones or are living alone. The support group provides an opportunity for them to connect with others who are going through similar experiences, fostering social interactions and friendships. We promote social connections and combat loneliness among older adults by facilitating engagement in community activities, social events, and support groups. This helps to reduce isolation and foster a sense of belonging.
Caregiver Support: Provide assistance and resources for family caregivers who are responsible for the care of aging loved ones. This may include respite care, counseling, education, and support groups.
Financial Aid: Assist older adults in accessing financial resources, benefits, and programs, such as pensions, social security, or low-income assistance programs.
Advocacy: Fight for the rights and interests of older adults within the community and help them navigate legal issues or safeguard against elder abuse.
Information and Education: Provide information, education, and referrals for various elder-related topics, such as housing options, legal matters, healthcare choices, and end-of-life planning. This helps to empower older adults to make informed decisions and take control of their lives.
​
Emotional support: The elder support group provides a safe and accepting environment where older adults can share their struggles, fears, and emotions related to aging. This emotional support helps them feel understood and validated.
​
Education and information: The support group offers educational resources and information on topics that are relevant to older adults, such as health concerns, legal issues, financial planning, and retirement options. This empowers them to make informed decisions and navigate the complexities of aging.
​
Problem-solving and coping strategies: The group sessions focus on problem-solving and coping strategies for the challenges that come with aging. Members can share their experiences and learn from each other to find practical solutions and develop resilience.
​
Guest speakers and workshops: CHICK Therapy organizes guest speakers and workshops to provide specialized knowledge and skills to the elder support group. These sessions may cover various topics such as managing chronic illnesses, memory enhancement techniques, stress management, and self-care practices.
​
Peer support: The support group is facilitated by trained professionals who encourage and facilitate peer support among the members. This allows older adults to share their insights, wisdom, and advice, providing a sense of purpose and meaning as they contribute to the well-being of their peers.
​
Referrals and resources: CHICK Therapy's elder support group can provide referrals to community resources and services that may be beneficial to the members. These could include home health services, transportation assistance, senior centers, or specialized care programs.
​
Caregiver support: In addition to supporting older adults, CHICK Therapy also offers support and resources for caregivers who may be experiencing stress, burnout, or other challenges related to caring for their elderly loved ones. This includes caregiver education, support groups, and respite care options.
​
Overall, CHICK Therapy's elder support group services aim to improve the emotional well-being, social connections, and overall quality of life for older adults by providing a supportive and empowering environment.

ADOPT A
GRANDMOTHER
#BIGMAMA
#MA'DEAR
In many Black families, there seems to be a missing presence that was once deeply rooted within the community - the old school grandmother. These grandmothers were known for their wisdom, love, and discipline. They were the matriarchs of the family, the ones who held everything together and kept everyone in line. They were the ones who passed down traditions, stories, and values to the younger generations.
​
Today, many Black families are missing this crucial figure in their lives. With the breakdown of the traditional family structure and the fast-paced nature of modern society, the role of the grandmother has become less prominent. Many children are now being raised without the guiding influence of their grandmothers, and as a result, they may be missing out on valuable life lessons and experiences.
​
Furthermore, many of our elders are experiencing loneliness and isolation. As they age, they may find themselves without the same level of support and companionship that they once had. This can lead to feelings of emptiness and sadness, as they long for the company and love of their family members.
​
One way to address these issues is to adopt a grandmother. This concept involves forming a bond with an elderly woman in the community who may be in need of companionship and support. By spending time with her, listening to her stories, and offering your love and care, you can help fill the void that may exist in her life.
​
In return, you will likely receive a wealth of knowledge, experiences, and love from your adopted grandmother. You will have the opportunity to learn from her wisdom and gain insights into the past that can help shape your future. And most importantly, you will be providing her with the love and companionship that she may be lacking.
​
So, consider reaching out to an elderly woman in your community who may be in need of a friend. Adopt a grandmother to love and be loved by, and watch as this relationship blossoms into something truly special. Together, you can help fill the void that exists in each other's lives and create a bond that will last a lifetime.
Adopting a grandmother can be a meaningful and rewarding experience for both parties involved. Here are some ways you can adopt a grandmother:
​
Volunteer at a local nursing home or senior center: Spending time with the elderly residents can provide companionship and support to those who may not have regular visitors. You can engage in activities like reading aloud, playing board games, or simply having a chat.
​
Connect with a senior through a community organization: Many organizations like Little Brothers Friends of the Elderly or AARP offer programs that match volunteers with isolated seniors in need of companionship and support.
​
Offer assistance with daily tasks: You can help a senior neighbor or family friend with grocery shopping, cooking, or running errands. Simple acts of kindness can make a big difference in someone's life.
​
Become pen pals with a senior: You can write letters or send cards to a senior who may be feeling lonely or isolated. This can be a great way to brighten someone's day and form a meaningful connection.
​
Invite a senior to your family gatherings: Include a senior neighbor or friend in your holiday celebrations or special occasions. Sharing meals and creating memories together can foster a sense of belonging and community.
​
Overall, adopting a grandmother is about building relationships, providing support, and sharing love and laughter with someone who may be in need. By reaching out and making a connection with a senior in your community, you can make a positive impact on their life and enrich your own in the process.

Domestic Violence
You Are Not Powerless
Women's support groups for domestic violence are designed to provide a safe and supportive environment for women who have experienced domestic violence. These groups are typically led by trained professionals or experienced survivors who provide emotional support, education, and resources to women as they navigate their healing process.
​
CT groups are facilitated by community organizations, shelters, or other agencies that specialize in domestic violence. Women who attend these groups can share their experiences, receive validation, and gain insight and empowerment from other women who have experienced similar situations.
​
The main objectives of these support groups are to help women heal from the trauma of domestic violence, learn to recognize and avoid abusive behavior, regain control of their lives, and build strong and healthy relationships. Some of the topics that are covered in these groups include safety planning, legal resources, and how to access other resources such as counseling and financial assistance.
​
Purpose: Chick Therapy's Women's Support Group serves as a safe space and support system for women who have experienced domestic violence. This group aims to empower women, promote healing and recovery, and provide resources and guidance for those navigating abusive relationships.
Emotional Support: Create a compassionate and non-judgmental environment where women can share their experiences and feelings related to domestic violence.
Empowerment: Encourage women to regain control over their lives and make informed decisions about their safety and well-being.
Education and Awareness: Provide information on recognizing the signs of domestic violence, understanding the cyclical nature of abuse, and promoting healthy relationship dynamics.
Resource Sharing: Connect women with local and national organizations that offer legal assistance, counseling, and other support services.
Healing and Recovery: Offer therapeutic activities, such as mindfulness exercises, art therapy, and group discussions, to facilitate healing and recovery from the trauma of domestic violence.

Spiritual Coverage
Enlighten Your Mind, Protect Your Spirit
CHICK Therapy services provide a range of therapeutic interventions and support, including a focus on spiritual well-being. This may include incorporating clients' spiritual beliefs and practices into the therapy process, exploring existential questions, and addressing any spiritual distress or concerns that may be impacting mental health.
​
For those who are open to it, prayer may be incorporated as a therapeutic tool to support healing and personal growth.
​
Some examples of how spiritual coverage and prayer may be incorporated into CHICK Therapy services include:
​
Integration of spirituality: Therapists may help individuals explore and integrate their spiritual beliefs or practices as a source of support, meaning, and guidance in their therapeutic process. This could involve discussing and reflecting on how their spirituality aligns with their values and goals and how it can contribute to their overall well-being.
​
Addressing spiritual distress: If someone is experiencing spiritual distress, such as questioning their beliefs, feeling disconnected from their spirituality, or struggling with conflicts related to their faith, therapists can provide a safe space to explore and address these concerns. They may help individuals reframe their beliefs, clarify doubts, or work through conflicts to find a sense of peace and resolution.
​
Prayer as a therapeutic tool: For those open to it, therapists may incorporate prayer as a part of their therapy sessions. This can involve offering a prayer or encouraging individuals to engage in personal or guided prayers as a means of seeking solace, finding strength or clarity, or connecting with a higher power.
​
It is important to note that spiritual coverage and prayer are optional aspects of the therapy process and are only introduced if the individual is comfortable and willing to explore or incorporate them. Therapists are trained to respect individuals beliefs and create a non-judgmental, inclusive space for therapy.

Unlock Your Potential: Elevate Your Life
Life Coaching for Women: There’s the life that you have and then there’s the life that you yearn for.
​
"I expected to be more satisfied with my life by now."
​
Your life’s okay. Yet deep down there’s a nagging thought that keeps coming up for you. Maybe you’re having one of those moments when you’re asking, "is that all there is?" You realize that your life hasn’t exactly turned out to be as fulfilling as you hoped it would be.
​
You've probably tried to change things, but you still feel stuck, not making much progress and not reaching your goals.
​
Maybe you’re getting tired of losing time too. You might even be wondering if the life that you yearn for—full of satisfaction, meaning and fulfillment—is simply a fantasy.
The life you yearn for is not a fantasy and life coaching can help you get there.
I believe every woman is unique. You deserve a therapy or coaching experience that meets you right where you are and honors what matters most to you. You deserve support to experience healing, and to take meaningful actions to feel happier and create the life that's fulfilling to you and you alone.
Without a doubt, it can be difficult to do it alone. These days we live in a world that’s 'too much with us' as psychologist Rollo May once wrote. It’s full of distractions and chatter that get in the way of creating real change in your life.
​
As a woman, it’s more complicated than ever to stay focused on your dreams and plans, what with the daily grind of multiple responsibilities, expectations and unsolicited advice about the right way to do things and what you should be focusing on.
​
Life’s distractions can drown out your inner wisdom about what matters most to you.
​
You may feel confused about what you truly want from life, unsure about what actually does make you happy. Or you may have a better idea of what you don’t want. The result: You feel blocked, doubting yourself and unable to begin anything.
​
Alternately, you might have tons of ideas about life changes you’d like to make. You have the best of intentions, but you seem to have lost the inner nudge that takes you from thinking to doing. You begin things but lose momentum. The result: You feel scattered and overwhelmed.
​
As your life coach, I’ll support you to move away from the distractions, doubt and overwhelm.
​
Together, we'll dive into an exploration of what's missing and what matters.
We'll unravel your stories and themes. You'll get to know your inner cast of characters and discover who wants more space at the table of your life. You might think of this as life coaching with a twist, where we'll find the sweet spot between personal exploration and meaningful action.
​
You'll be empowered to believe in yourself and open up to your deepest yearnings.
That might look like:
​
-
A simpler, calmer, easier life, with less stress and more free time
-
A more connected life, with mutually caring and accepting relationships
-
A healthier life, prioritizing your physical, emotional and spiritual needs
-
A more creative life, filled with self-expression, originality and imagination
-
A zestful life, full of adventures and new experiences
-
A more fulfilling work life
​
My work is based on your unique needs, and here are some of the things we might focus on together. Whatever you yearn for, I’ll be right by your side as you make your way toward it.
​
-
Dig deep into your values and learn to translate their often-conflicting messages into real transformation in your life.
-
Excavate the wisdom and deep desires buried in your stories, dreams and daydreams.
-
Identify what you need to change, accept or let go of in order to move forward.
-
Move away from doubt and towards self-trust, and feel energized, confident and resilient.
​
Take actions that honor your unfolding vision for your life and yourself, as you move toward more satisfaction and joy.
