Professional statement

Ebony Staten is an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist and Associate Professional Clinical Counselor who supports women, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, relationship stress, and life transitions. She works with clients who are often carrying multiple roles and responsibilities, showing up for everyone else while quietly feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or exhausted. Many of her clients are seeking support with communication, identity shifts, burnout, and the pressure to “hold it all together.”

Ebony’s approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in both clinical skill and real-life understanding. She integrates evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy, and Narrative Therapy. Her work focuses on helping clients understand patterns, regulate emotions, and build healthier ways of relating to themselves and others. She is especially passionate about couples therapy, supporting partners in improving communication, rebuilding trust, and navigating conflict in ways that feel more connected and less reactive.

She also offers faith-integrated therapy for clients who want to incorporate their spiritual beliefs into the healing process. Ebony creates space for exploring faith as a source of strength, identity, and guidance, while also addressing the emotional and relational challenges clients may be facing. Her work is culturally responsive, with a deep commitment to supporting Black women, couples, and families in ways that feel affirming and relevant to their lived experiences.

Ebony holds a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology and has clinical experience working with individuals, couples, and families across a range of mental health concerns, including trauma, substance use, and relational challenges. She offers virtual sessions for clients across California, including the Inland Empire and surrounding areas.


Message to clients

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you’re used to being the one everyone else leans on. You don’t have to have everything figured out before you begin. My goal is to create a space where you can show up honestly, without pressure or judgment, and start to make sense of what you’ve been carrying.

In our work together, I want you to feel supported, but also challenged in ways that help you grow. Whether we’re working individually or as a couple, we’ll focus on understanding patterns, improving communication, and building tools that actually translate into your daily life. You deserve relief, clarity, and relationships that feel healthy and aligned.

My hope is that over time, you feel more grounded in yourself, more confident in your decisions, and less alone in what you’re navigating.
