Makeda Bostwick LPC, LCMHC, NCC, BC-TMH

My communication style

I create a safe, non-judgmental atmosphere where you feel welcomed, respected, and understood. While supportive, I also gently challenge you to step outside your comfort zone when it aligns with your goals. Sessions focus on practical skills and insights, so you leave with tools you can use right away.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist because I've always been drawn to listening, understanding, and helping people find new ways forward. What drives me is seeing clients recognize their own strength, make meaningful changes, and reconnect with what matters most to them.

My goals for you

Large goals can feel overwhelming. I help you break them into small, actionable steps so you experience quick wins and build momentum. We check progress regularly, celebrate successes, and problem-solve barriers together.

Our first session

I'll explain confidentiality, informed consent, and what therapy with me typically looks like. Together, we'll identify what you'd like to work on. Sometimes clients have clear goals, and sometimes they're unsure—that's okay. Part of my role is helping you clarify and shape meaningful, realistic goals.

I identify as...

• Female
• Black or African American
