Breea is deeply passionate about creating safe and supportive spaces where Black mothers can address their mental health needs while strengthening connections with their children. Her work integrates evidence-based practices, including Perinatal Child-Parent Psychotherapy, Interpersonal Therapy, and trauma-focused interventions, with culturally responsive support systems. These initiatives reflect her belief that dismantling systemic barriers and building community resources are essential to achieving mental health equity.
