Virtual therapy for BIPOC women in New Jersey and Florida—where you never have to code-switch or explain your reality.

Before You Book

"Will you really understand my experience?" →

I'm Sherolde Hackett, a Black woman, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and advocate for BIPOC women's mental health liberation. With my MSW from Boston University and over 20 years serving women in community-based and clinical settings, I've witnessed how traditional mental health care often fails us—asking us to shrink, explain, or translate our pain.

My practice operates from an anti-oppression framework: I recognize that your anxiety, depression, and trauma are often rational responses to oppressive systems, not personal defects. I'm trained in EMDR, CBT, and solution-focused therapy, but more importantly, I'm committed to creating space where your full identity is welcomed—no code-switching, no performing, and no justifying your reality. This is therapy that centers your liberation, not just your symptoms.

"What if I'm too busy?"

You're already stretched thin—I know. That's why I've designed my practice to fit your life:

✓ 100% virtual – No commute, no waiting room, no extra time lost
✓ Flexible scheduling – Evening and weekend appointments available
✓ 53-minute sessions – Efficient and focused
✓ Frequency options – Weekly, biweekly, or whatever works for your schedule
✓ Join from anywhere – Your car, your bedroom, your office—wherever feels private

The truth: If you're waiting until you're "less busy" to start therapy, that day might never come. We'll work together to find a sustainable rhythm that honors your reality.

Investment in Your Healing

Don't see your insurance? I provide detailed superbills for out-of-network reimbursement, which you can submit directly to your insurance provider for  potential partial reimbursement.
A note on investment: Choosing therapy—especially as a BIPOC woman who's been conditioned to put everyone else first—can bring up feelings about whether you're "worth it." You are. Your healing matters. Your peace matters. Your growth matters.
If navigating insurance or cost feels overwhelming, we'll figure it out together during your free consultation. I'm committed to helping you find a sustainable path that honors both your financial reality and your need for quality, culturally affirming care.
