BIPOC Healing:Fund Arryonna's licensure & Practice

Hi, I’m Arryonna — a mother, NYU graduate, therapist, and first-generation college student.

I’ve spent the last few years pouring my heart into becoming the kind of counselor I wish existed when I needed one most — someone culturally grounded, trauma-informed, and deeply committed to helping others feel safe, seen, and supported.

This May, I graduate with my Master’s in Counseling — a milestone I’ve fought hard for while balancing full-time work, motherhood, internship, and school. But I’m not just celebrating the end of a chapter. I’m preparing to launch something greater: a therapy practice that centers the healing of BIPOC individuals, families, and communities.

I’m asking for your help to raise $5,000 before May 11th to support the transition from student to licensed therapist. These funds will go toward:

Licensing and registration costs

Additional training

Office supplies and professional materials

Creating trauma-informed wellness resources

This isn’t just about launching a business — it’s about creating space for generational healing. If you’ve ever struggled with your mental health, lacked access to a therapist who got you, or simply believe in the power of emotional wellness, I hope you’ll consider supporting this mission.

Whether you donate, share, or send words of encouragement — every bit helps and means more than I can say. Thank you for being part of this vision.

With gratitude,

Arryonna
