Meet Erskine Alexander, LMSW

As a Black male growing up in Columbus Georgia, I experienced firsthand how close friends and family suffered in silence while dealing with anxiety, depression, and trauma. In our African American community, most people are hesitant to go to therapy due to the fear of being labeled as “crazy” or “weak.” Men tend to also associate mental health treatment as a form of weakness or hold the belief that going to therapy means that they have to admit that something is wrong and they need fixing.

However, I have always felt that everyone should have a safe place to express their thoughts and feelings without judgement, no matter how big or small the issues are.

When you work towards healing, you become a better version of yourself, the relationships in your life become better. You become a better man, son, father, colleague, and spouse

I know personally, how counseling has helped me to become a better husband, father, and community leader. It has helped me to deal with life transitions, effectively communicate, and reach new levels of success in my career.
