Kerlande Mompremier

Clinical Trainee

As an intern, I believe mental health care should be accessible, affirming, and anti-oppressive. I will continue to create a safe, collaborative space where clients are recognized as the experts of their own lives. My role is not to run the race but rather to walk alongside clients with curiosity, compassion, and cheer them on as they move toward their goals. My clinical background comes from my work at Washburn Center for Children, where I was trained in Developmental Repair and worked closely with young children and families. I have experience supporting clients across the lifespan and am committed to continually deepening my clinical skills. Black wellness to me is essential. It means centering culture, identity, and joy while acknowledging the realities of being Black in this world. We do not exist simply despite racial trauma and oppression, but rather, we overcome. To be Black is to be resilient, and there is no weakness in hurt or pain. Black wellness is leaning on one another. Black wellness is liberation, empowerment, healing, and the freedom to take up space fully and authentically.
