BROKIN: Mental Health Solutions for Men of Color

As men of color, we have always been told since birth, “Life is hard, it’s NEVER easy!” Sometimes even the strongest amongst us needs a little bit of help to work through some of life’s more challenging complications. Problem is, most Black and Latino men were raised in a chauvinistic, homophobic, dogmatic culture where being openly emotional or sensitive, discussing our fears and personal/family issues was seen as being weak or soft. That mindset must change and change now! We work with clients who are feeling “stuck” and inevitably struggle with demons of addiction, anxiety, depression, compulsive behaviors, unsatisfying sexual and platonic relationships, and unfulfilling career paths.

”Here at BroKin, our goal is to help you become more transparent on where you are currently, so that you are able to acknowledge your pain, face your fear, heal and find the freedom to experience life in a new way by making new decisions, and finding fulfillment. We believe EVERY man of color is worthy of living the life we are predestined for – Are you willing to take the journey and do the work to get you to your final destination?”

We believe that a culturally sensitive, client-centered approach works best and that with you in the driver’s seat on this journey, we can focus on your goals each session and address the challenges that you feel are most important. Choosing to pursue therapy is an INCREDIBLE step in the right direction and a life altering decision. Please ensure that you are making the most informed choice in which you allow to accompany you on this journey. Let us help you pave the way to a better, healthier and more satisfying lifestyle!

ABOUT ME

Dr. Ifeanyi A. Ufondu, Ph.D.

As a Texas based psychologist, I specialize in mental health wellness and solutions for Black and Latino males ages 16 and beyond. My therapeutic approach is strength-based meaning, I learn about my clients’ strengths and positive attributes, then guide my clients in applying their strengths in areas of their lives where they are struggling the most. What sets me apart from other therapists is, I use more than just the skills I’ve learned from my academic training to assist you. As a survivor of childhood emotional, sexual and mental abuse, my past experiences mirror a majority of my clients and provides me a greater understanding and insight into your story. I get to know YOU and listen to what my intuition tells me about you and your situation to help free you from the confines of your personal restraint…
