  • “I have been looking for a black woman therapist for YEARS until I saw a post on Twitter recommending GTR. For the past two years I can honestly say I’ve received the best service from here. The therapists are genuine and knowledgeable. I recommend GTR to everyone especially women of color!”

    — T.F.

  • “Two years ago I was on the hunt for a black woman therapist because it was important that the individual treating me could accurately see life through my eyes. That is how I stumbled across GTR and found this wonderful, supportive community. From the very beginning my therapist, Phadia, has been very understanding, relatable, and attentive. She holds me accountable and has introduced me to a plethora of coping tools that I now incorporate religiously into my daily routines. We've set up multiple game plans to manage my stress levels and review to ensure that I am moving in the right direction.” - K.S.

  • “Absolutely Amazing! I refer a lot of black men in my community for their services.”

    -J.L.

  • “GTR has and currently have been amazing in working with my recent trauma and grief. It’s been an unforgettable road of hardships and pain, but the team at GTR has given me such a renewed sense of self and vigor to once again reclaim my life. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking help for their mental stability and finding purpose once again.”

    -D.J.

  • “I recommend GTR to everyone! I’ve been in therapy for a year with one provider but I’ve received support through their helpline and group therapy with various providers. Everyone is kind, authentic, & very knowledgeable about mental health, trauma, & the complexities of it all. Thank you GTR team!”

    -V.M.

  • “Dr. Florence Saint-Jean has been nothing short of AMAZING! This is my first therapy experience and I've been blessed with a great clinician. GTR is a judgement-free zone, very professional, flexible and accommodating. I highly recommend this group without reservations.”

    -K.L.

  • “GTR provides a substantial amount of services and resources to our much-needed community.”

    -S.M.

  • “I have never felt comfortable talking to a Therapist, until now. I am comfortable. I don't feel judged and I wasn't made to feel like I was crazy or that something is wrong with me. Thank you!”

    -T.W.

  • “My therapist has been very flexible about schedule changes and has worked with me to find alternate days for treatment. On the rare occurrence she has not been available there was always another therapist who was willing to sub in if I still wanted to have a session. Additionally, GTR goes above and beyond to create community. They have offered multiple in-person and virtual support groups in addition to hosting an annual wellness event where they provide massages, facials, and so much more. I genuinely believe that the team here cares for me and my well-being and I recommend them to any of my friends who are considering therapy.”
