Stop Explaining Your Pain to People Who Don't Get It.
Stop "softening" your story just to be understood. We speak your language and know your struggle. Drop the mask and start healing today.
YOU’VE BEEN CARRYING THIS ALONE
The Perfection Trap
You feel you can't make a mistake because the world doesn't give "second chances" to people like us.
The Mask
You’re tired of "acting" just to be respected and carrying the weight of "not enough."
At From Chains to Glory, we built this space for the leaders, providers and protectors who are crumbling on the inside and tired of fighting the world alone.
Stop performing. Let go of the weight.
A SPACE WHERE YOU DON'T HAVE TO EXPLAIN
Tired of “teaching” people why you’re hurting? It’s draining to translate your Blackness before you can talk about your pain. At From Chains to Glory, the “explaining” ends at the door.
The "Black Tax"
We know what it costs you to exist in spaces not made for you.
Normal Responses
Your fear for your children isn't a "disorder"—it’s a response to an unfair world.
Beyond the Title
We see the human behind the degrees who just needs a place to be real.
WHY THIS IS DIFFERENT
THE AFROCENTRIC PERSPECTIVE
Standard therapy often sees your anger as the problem. They don’t see the 400 years of history you carry in your bones. We don’t fit your soul into a box; we provide Executive Coaching for your Soul.
The Nguzo Saba (Seven Principles) Blueprint:
I’M JOY, AND I GET IT
You’ve been looking for a place where you don’t have to “soften” your story to make it digestible. A place that sees your Glory, not just your trauma.
I’m Joy Dozier, and I’ve spent over 20 years providing a safe harbor for the African American community.
I earned my Master of Social Work from Howard University—an experience that deepened my understanding of our resilience, our brilliance, and the specific weight we carry in this country.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) across multiple states, but more importantly:
- I speak your language.
- I understand your culture.
- And I honor every layer of your experience.
- Your anger is heard, not feared.
- Your fear is respected, not dismissed.
- Your pain is believed.

QUESTIONS? ANSWERED
We know that for our community, starting therapy can feel like a big leap.
You might have voices in your head—or family members in your ear—telling you why you shouldn’t be here.
Let’s set the record straight and clear the path for your healing.
I’m not crazy.
Therapy isn’t for “crazy” people. It’s for strong people who have been carrying too much for too long.
Even the best athletes have coaches; even the strongest leaders need a safe place to unload.
I should just pray about it.
Prayer is for your spirit; therapy is for your mind. You deserve both. Think of it this way:
God gave us the medicine, the pastor, and the healer. You don’t have to choose between your faith and your mental health.
I don't trust doctors or 'the system'.
We hear you. History has given us plenty of reasons to be cautious. That is exactly why From Chains to Glory exists.
We are a Black-owned practice. We work for you and our community, not the institutions that have overlooked us.
I don't have time for this.
You don’t have time not to do this. How much time are you losing to burnout, brain fog, and arguments at home?
We offer telehealth and easy booking to fit your high-achiever schedule.
It’s too expensive.
You wouldn’t blink at the cost of a car repair or a new suit for a big event. Your mind is the home you live in every single day.
If you don’t invest in your peace now, you’ll pay for it later in stress, health issues, or broken relationships.
Still have a specific question?
During your consultation, no question is off-limits.
We are here to earn your trust, not just your business.
YOU’VE BEEN STRONG LONG ENOUGH
There is a specific kind of TIRED that sleep cannot fix.
You’ve been carrying a history, a culture, and a family on your back while the world watches and waits for you to trip.
And yet…the world will keep asking you to be the “strong one” until you have nothing left to give.
You’ve been the shield for everyone—but who protects the protector?
At From Chains to Glory, we believe your strength shouldn’t be your prison. Imagine:
- Life without the weight of the chains you can’t see…the one’s in your mind
- Leading your family with love
- Walking into your office with a peace that is unshakeable
- You deserve rest.
- You deserve relief.
- You deserve to heal.
