About Us

At Reconnect Marriage and Family Counseling, founded by Jarvis and Cymone Sams, we specialize in culturally responsive mental health care for individuals, couples, and families. Our practice is committed to supporting historically underrepresented communities, addressing the unique challenges posed by cultural stigma and isolation in mental health. 

 

Our Focus We provide a supportive environment where all clients, diverse in age, race, gender identity, and sexual orientation, feel seen, heard, and included. Our therapists, trained in a variety of modalities including relationship-focused therapies, thought and behavior therapies, and insight therapy, are dedicated to helping you navigate life's challenges in a way that respects and integrates your cultural identity.  

  • Relationship-Focused Therapy: In relationship-focused therapy, you and your therapist will explore and improve your interactions with others, especially within your family and close relationships. This approach helps you understand and resolve conflicts, improve communication, and strengthen your connections with those around you. Our practice has a strong focus on supporting couples and families, especially those from marginalized communities, helping them navigate the unique challenges they face with empathy and expertise. 

  • Thought and Behavior Therapy: Thought and behavior therapy involves identifying negative thoughts and behaviors that affect your emotional health. Your therapist will work with you to develop practical strategies to change these thoughts and actions, aiming to improve your mood and reduce stress. 

  • Insight Therapy: Insight therapy encourages you to delve into your past and explore your emotions and memories. By gaining a deeper understanding of your personal history and internal conflicts, you can uncover the roots of your emotional issues, leading to greater self-awareness and emotional healing.  

 

Our Mission We strive to reduce stigma, increase access to care, and improve the quality of life for our clients by acknowledging the intersection of race, ethnicity, gender identity, and sexual orientation. Our goal is to empower you to reconnect with the best version of yourself and foster meaningful relationships within your community.
