Four doors. One kind of work.

Speaking, media, coaching, and therapy. Different formats, different depths, same commitment — honest, sustainable growth without the shame.

Assata Thomas, LMHC at work
01

Speaking Engagements

Keynotes, workshops, and panels on mental health, boundaries, and real-life growth. Assata speaks for conferences, companies, universities, nonprofits, and community organizations — and tailors every talk to the room rather than reusing a deck.

Sessions run from a 20-minute keynote to a half-day workshop, virtual or in person.

Keynotes Workshops Panels Corporate Wellness Campus & Youth
02

Podcast & Media

Guest appearances for conversations on mental health, relationships, toxic patterns, and emotional honesty. Assata brings clinical grounding to a format that usually runs on opinion — and she's comfortable going unscripted.

Available for podcasts, live streams, panels, broadcast segments, and written commentary.

Podcast Guest Live Interviews Expert Commentary Brand Collaborations
03

Life Coaching

Forward-focused sessions for people who aren't in crisis but are done repeating the same patterns. Coaching is goal-driven and practical: we name what's not working, build boundaries you can actually hold, and keep you accountable to them.

Coaching is not therapy and is not a substitute for clinical care — if what you need is treatment, Assata will say so and point you to the right door.

Therapy & Counseling

1:1 online counseling for adults ready to heal patterns, not just put out fires. Clinical work with a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. Send the form and Assata will reach out with the intake details — there's no self-serve booking.

Common focus areas: toxic relationship patterns, boundaries, anxiety, self-worth, family dynamics, and the long work of unlearning what kept you safe once and doesn't serve you now.

In Their Words

Results clients talk about.

Assata is no pressure and no judgement. She is honest in a supportive way. She feels more like a friend or family member who cares. She allows one to see the error of their own ways without pointing a finger or reaching conclusions of her own. Being in this space with her feels safe for myself and my partner — we are closer and understand each other better as a result of working with her. Thanks Assata!

Verified Client Review

I specifically requested a therapist of color, male or female, and she is knocking it out of the park. It's super easy and comfortable speaking with Assata. She provides such great avenues of how to go about things differently that while a bit scary, have been effective when implemented. 5 stars across the board. I appreciate you Assata!

Questions

Before you reach out.

What's the difference between life coaching and therapy?

Therapy is clinical care for healing and treatment, provided under Assata's LMHC license through AJT Mental Health. Life coaching is forward-focused and practical — goals, boundaries, and accountability — and it isn't clinical treatment. If you're unsure which one fits, say so in your message and Assata will point you to the right one.

Do you travel for speaking engagements?

Yes. Assata speaks both virtually and in person. Include your dates, location, audience size, and format in your inquiry and you'll get availability and rates back.

Can you speak to a small group rather than a big stage?

Absolutely. Assata regularly joins brunches and small community gatherings as a guest facilitator — for a single session or a full series.

Is Mental Health Matters still every Wednesday?

No. Mental Health Matters is no longer a weekly Wednesday call. It now runs as a dedicated session on set dates with limited seats — the next one is December 8, released from the waitlist first. It's a community session, not clinical care and not confidential treatment.

How quickly will I hear back?

Within 2–3 business days for speaking, media, coaching, and training inquiries.

Not sure which door is yours?

Send one message. Assata will tell you honestly which format fits — even if it isn't one of hers.
