Heavy is the Crown: Creating a New Narrative

You are accomplished, driven, and successful.

Yet somehow, beneath the accolades and achievements, something is missing.

As a melanin rich woman in demanding spaces, you’ve mastered the art of showing up strong - but at what cost to your peace?

You’re in the Right Place if…

Healthcare providers haven't truly listened to or understood your experiences

You're tired of being the "strong one" while struggling with anxiety or depression in silence.

You're navigating hormonal changes that impact your mood and daily life.

Success has come at the cost of your peace, and you're ready for something different.

But what if there’s another way?

Imagine having a space where:

Your experiences as a Melanin-Rich Woman are deeply understood, not just acknowledged

Both your mental and physical symptoms are taken seriously and treated holistically

You can explore success on your own terms, without compromising your wellbeing

Cultural wisdom meets cutting-edge psychiatric care

Your whole story matters – mind, body, and spirit

Meet Dr. Alecia Greenlee Black Psychiatrist in California

Dr. Alecia Greenlee

A Partner in Your Journey to Whole Person Wellness

From being a first-generation college student to training at Harvard and UCSF, my journey reflects the path many of my clients navigate - the transition from humble beginnings to elite spaces. This personal experience deepens my understanding of the complexities and costs of breaking barriers.

I've witnessed how success in demanding spaces often comes with hidden emotional tolls: the exhaustion of code-switching, the weight of internal criticism, the physical symptoms that whisper what we're not ready to say aloud. Despite external achievements, many of us carry deep-seated stories of 'not enough' that impact everything from our self-image to our closest relationships.

True healing isn't a quick fix - it's a courageous journey of rewriting these narratives. It means:

  • Examining how perfectionism became our shield

  • Understanding why we prioritize achievement over self-care

  • Building relationships that nourish rather than drain

  • Challenging the stories that keep us isolated in our struggles

  • Learning to embrace self-compassion alongside ambition 

This work takes time, commitment, and a therapeutic relationship built on trust and understanding. As your partner in this journey, I offer more than clinical expertise - I bring a deep appreciation for both the visible victories and the silent battles. Together, we'll explore how your story has shaped you, while carefully crafting new chapters that honor both your achievements and your authentic self.

This blend of lived experience and clinical expertise allows me to walk alongside you in this ongoing journey of healing and growth - not as a destination to reach, but as a path we continue to navigate together.
