Pierre's clinical focus is helping Black people connect with their bodies/intuitions, reparent themselves, and learn how to be in healing relationships with themselves and others. His therapeutic approach is integrative/eclectic, client-centered, trauma-focused, and systemic oppression-aware. Pierre is an EMDR-trained therapist who also uses polyvagal, parts work, existential, motivational interviewing/harm reduction, and other systems and somatic theories and practices in his work. He also specializes in adult ADHD and Autism assessments and coaching, ethical non-monogamy, and other alternative lifestyles. Pierre believes clients are experts in their own right and bring their expertise on themselves and their lives to the table when they come to sessions. He believes in working collaboratively with clients, using their areas of expertise to work on the clients' reasons for coming to therapy. It is important to him, as a therapist, to create a safe space for clients in session through co-regulation and modeling being in healthy relationship as a way to encourage growth and to empower clients to use the tools they need to find meaning and wellness in their own lives. Pierre authors a mental health blog, QueeringPsychology, that showcases his experience and expertise as a Black queer somatic psychotherapist with an ongoing, easy-to-understand written and video series on how to use somatic theory and tools in practical ways. He is also the founder of Mental Health Counseling for Our Communities, PLLC (MHC4OC): a donation based private practice providing FREE culturally competent, trauma-informed, ethical therapy for low-income Black people.

Why We're Here
You are not a diagnosis. You are not a checklist. You are a whole person with a story that deserves to be heard.
We built this practice for those who have felt overlooked in traditional healthcare—Black and Brown professionals, LGBTQ+ and gender-diverse folks, and neurodivergent individuals who want a different kind of support.
Here, we slow down. We listen. We do the real work, together. Because you deserve care that honors every part of who you are.
Our Mission
What we fight for
We fight for the ones who’ve been told to quiet down, toughen up, or fit in.
We fight for the ones carrying invisible battles while holding it all together.
We fight for every Black and Brown professional, every LGBTQ+ soul, every neurodivergent mind who has ever wondered if there was a place where they could finally exhale.
This is that place.
A space for rest.
A space for truth.
A space for becoming.
Because your healing is not too much to ask for. It’s exactly what you deserve.
Our Values
How we're different
You, Unedited
Breaking the Mold
Your needs are valid. Your healing is non-negotiable.
Honoring Your Pace
Healing Without Apology
No shrinking. No silencing. No masks.
We reject one-size-fits-all therapy.
Healing doesn’t come with a stopwatch.
Partnership, Not Hierarchy
We walk beside you, not above you.
