With more than 32 years of experience working for hospitals and hospices, and active military and veteran’s. I established Covington-McGee Christian Counseling to help people who need counseling. My goal is to help people overcome the difficulties through Christian teachings and values.

We accept Loveland Therapy Fund recipients. With the barriers affecting access to treatment we provide members of diverse ethnic and racial groups, by means of  the Loveland Therapy Fund which they provide financial assistance to Black women and girls seeking therapy nationally.

We have dedicated our services to serve those who lack health insurance or whose health insurance doesn’t provide adequate mental health benefits. Our clients also cannot afford current market rates for therapy (between $80-200 a session). Please see the Loveland Therapy Tab to learn more.

.

I welcome the opportunity to be a part of your healing journey and look forward to your success in reaching spiritual peace and happiness.

Boris Henson Foundation 

The Boris Lawrence Henson Foundation is a nonprofit organization founded in 2018 by Taraji P. Henson and led by Executive Director, Tracie Jade Jenkins. The foundation is named in honor of Ms. Henson’s father, Boris Lawrence Henson, who suffered with mental health challenges as a result of his tour of duty in the Vietnam War.

One in five Americans suffer from mental illness. African Americans are the least likely population to seek treatment. We were taught to hold our problems close to the vest out of fear of being labeled and further demonized as inapt, weak, and/or inadequate. African Americans also have a history of being misdiagnosed, so there is mistrust associated with therapy.

BLHF recognizes that during this difficult time, affording the cost of mental health services can also be a barrier to care in the Black community and seeks to eradicate the stigma around mental health by launching programs like Silence Isn’t Treatment, to raise money for mental health services provided by licensed clinicians in our network.

If you have insurance, use it! You do not need insurance to enroll for the five free virtual therapy sessions. We recognize the pre-authorization process may take time. You may need insurance to continue therapy following the five sessions covered by the Boris Lawrence Henson Foundation.
