Guiding women back to a place where they feel connected to their mind, body, and spirit

Dr. Lyneia Richardson

Owner, Melanated Women’s Therapy, LLC

Dr. Richardson is a mama, healer, and licensed psychologist with 14 years of experience providing therapy in clinical, academic, and community-based settings. Taking a holistic approach, Dr. Richardson believes healing happens not just in the mind, but in the body, spirit, and community. Her work is dedicated to breaking down stigmas surrounding women’s emotional lives, especially those tied to mothering and the generational pressures so many women carry.

Dr. Richardson is especially passionate about creating spaces for women and mamas to feel heard and empowered—to reconnect with themselves, reimagine their roles, and move forward with more grace, self-trust, and self-love.

 

Mothering is a communal experience. I work with ALL who mother because I recognize that mothering is not limited to womanhood or birthing a child.
