Sakinaa Rock (they/them)

Counselor | Coach | Consultant

I am a Black, queer, non-binary working-class Muslim raised in the US South, and I come from a lineage of Black Diasporic and Afro-Indigenous healers. I believe my ancestry, identities, and experiences shape my practice.

A Bit About Me

I am committed to breaking cycles of trauma and violence. The structures of power and oppression that we suffer under become a part of us in devastating ways. I’ve experienced its impact in devastating ways. I was raised in a family deeply impacted by historical oppression, interpersonal abuse and violence, and intergenerational trauma.

I have chosen this path because I believe in the healing power of connection. I take an emotion-focused, relational, psychodynamic, black feminist, queer-affirming, and anti-oppressive approach to healing connection. I understand that it is through relationships that we begin to heal from the impact of trauma experienced from historical oppression, intergenerational violence, and our early experiences.

I work with individuals of all ages and couples who tend to emotional, mental, and spiritual wounds that are impacting their ability to live more fulfilling lives. I prioritize working with BIPOC 2SLGBTQIA+ people. I have particular interest and experience working with grief, depression, anxiety, OCD, spiritual trauma, racial identity, gender identity, sexuality, polyamory, and BDSM/kink.
