Our Services

  • Individual Therapy

    We believe in the power of evidence-based therapy, but we also understand that true healing happens when therapy resonates with your unique cultural and personal experiences.

  • Clinical Mentoring

    Our Clinical Mentoring program offers transitional-aged youth a flexible and personalized approach to self-discovery and goal attainment. Connect with your provider through phone calls, video calls, or text messaging. You can choose between shorter, frequent micro-sessions or longer, weekly sessions to fit your schedule. With a focus on fostering trust, providing solution-focused guidance, and supporting goal attainment, we're dedicated to empowering you as you navigate life's transitions with confidence and resilience.

  • Racial Identity Caucuses

    Consultation services aimed at providing strategic guidance and support to advance belonging, address systemic disparities and foster empowerment through racial affinity groups.

  • Healing Circles

    Community spaces where participants are supported and encouraged to dream, think, argue, heal, envision, trust, and connect through storytelling, laughter, play, and other methods of organic engagement.

  • Consulting

    Working collaboratively with organizations to assess, advise, and implement strategies that promote fairness, inclusivity, and justice in addressing systemic racial disparities within their structures and practices

  • Play Groups

    Play groups are dynamic spaces where intergenerational adults gather to foster authentic connections and reclaim their inner child through nostalgic and restorative play experiences. These gatherings embrace the therapeutic benefits of play, allowing participants to engage in activities that promote joy, creativity, and emotional well-being.

Meet the Founder

Hi, I’m Tempey

Facilitator & Therapist

I founded PSA from a deeply personal conviction rooted in my family's history and my own life's work. With roots stretching back to my grandmother's days as a sharecropper in the deep south, PSA represents not just my professional journey, but a continuation of my ancestral legacy of resilience and transformation. I earned my Masters in Social Work from the University of Alabama and maintain licensure as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) across multiple states. I’m also intentional about doing the work to fill the gaps of my formal education.
