Background

About Blessing Uchendu

I'm a Black woman, first-generation American of Nigerian descent, and a military kid. When I was younger, I often felt alienated by my sense of difference, particularly in spaces where my Nigerian family was not the norm. While in high school in Heidelberg, Germany, my youth group leader transformed my life. She provided my first experience of deep, present listening that allowed me to feel truly seen and understood at a critical juncture in my life. This experience ignited a fire in me to help others feel supported in the same profound way. Now, as a healer and trauma therapist, I help Black women, women of color, adult children of immigrants, and queer and trans folks access more joy in their lives. People reach out to me when they’re experiencing strained relationships with loved ones, racism at work as a leader of color, or self-criticism and lack of confidence despite personal and professional achievements. Here’s how I help you:(): A powerful, evidence-based approach that helps people process and heal from trauma, stress, and limiting beliefs, empowering them to thrive personally and professionally.(): A guided therapeutic approach that combines the use of low-dose ketamine with therapy to help adults explore and heal from emotional challenges, such as depression, anxiety, and trauma. ®: An approach that helps people reconnect with their bodies, release stress, and build resilience by addressing the physiological impacts of life pressures in a safe and empowering way. Somatic and psychedelic therapies allow us to go deeper into our bodies to heal the places where we feel stuck, where we don’t have full access to our life force, and facilitate liberation. I use these methods because many people of color not only hold our own traumas within our bodies but also carry intergenerational trauma. My goal is to help you come home to yourself and learn how to create a sense of home and grounding within. I want to learn more about you and see how I can support you.

My workshops focus on mental health as a key component of health, self-care while caring for others, navigating conflict at work, and establishing boundaries in relationships.
