“Embracing The Past, Present & Future As One”

Welcome to the National Association of Black Counselors (NABC), a dynamic membership and advocacy organization committed to advancing Black mental health. Our mission is rooted in the recognition of a critical need – the need for a dedicated space where Black clinicians can thrive, learn, and make a profound impact on the mental well-being of Black individuals and communities.

NABC is a nationally recognized professional association (and supportive community) that enhances and encourages professional growth and endeavors in the field of counseling and mental health; NABC also welcomes all that have concern and interest in the overall health and mental health affecting those of African ancestry in the United States and abroad.

This month, we would like to shine the light on Arielle Jordan

For over eight years, she's been committed to helping her clients work through tough mental health issues and reach their full potential.

Having served in the Army and working towards her Ph.D. in counselor education and supervision, Arielle brings a one-of-a-kind perspective to her counseling work. She's passionate about teaching and is a strong voice for cultural diversity, making sure her practice is welcoming to people from all kinds of backgrounds.
