Malika Latchman

I am a licensed mental health counselor in New York helping black women manage anxiety and improve their relationships.

Black women experience high functioning anxiety that often goes unaddressed. They are taught to prioritize others instead of themselves causing relationship issues with family, friends and romantic partners. Early messages of being persistent and strong teach black women to ignore their needs and their overall mental health. By working together we can restructure these messages, develop coping skills to manage anxiety and identify and replace faulty patterns in relationships. As a result of this work, you will develop insight, awareness and see improvements with anxiety and relationships.

Over the years I have worked with black women to help them manage their anxiety and improve their relationships so they can become the version of themselves they want to be. Together, we reframe negative beliefs, learn how to practice self-care while caring for others and break unhealthy relationship patterns with family, friends and romantic partners.

If you’re thinking of reducing anxiety, improving your relationships and improving self-care, submit a request here or schedule a free phone consultation via my website. I will provide insight, empathy and gently challenge you when necessary. Sessions are virtual only Monday through Friday from 12pm - 4pm.
