My name is Jummy, I am a licensed professional counselor in Philadelphia, and a trained Perinatal Depression/Anxiety Disorders Specialist. I am dedicated to changing and shaping lives for people of color, especially women. It is also my goal to provide a safe space for women to feel confident and prepared in their roles.
I founded Relinquish and Transcend Counseling LLC with the intent to champion for women, teach them how to be their own ally and re-author their stories.
You already have all the answers inside of you, I am just here to help uncover them by teaching you the skills and practices for tapping back into your own creativity and intuition with validation and support. I will use multidisciplinary approach’s to provide you with perspective on difficult issues. Together, we will co-create an individualized wellness practice to help you create more gratitude in your life. My holistic approach comes from a place of compassion and non-judgement. I teach my clients mindfulness skills to replace their ineffective coping skills.

“Your greatest self has been waiting your whole life; don’t make it wait any longer”
-Dr. Steve Maraboli
I am a National Board for Certified Counselor who is trained in trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy. My area of expertise focuses on anxiety disorders, trauma, depression, body issues, low self-esteem, communication and conflict issues.
When therapy is in a trustworthy and safe environment, it can open so many opportunities for self-exploration. In therapy, your job is to tell your story wholeheartedly. My role as a therapist is to listen, help teach new skills, and challenge you to see new ways to live your life.
Working together, we can tap into your personal essence and unleash your potential.
