The Center for Family & Maternal Wellness is an Outpatient Psychotherapy Practice serving the greater Charlotte area since 2016. Through her experience in social justice organizing and providing community based mental health our founder, Reia Chapman, developed a vision of creating a healing space for emotional and mental wellness for the most marginalized people in our communities.
Encounters with families struggling to stay afloat while navigating compounding stressors was a common theme in her work and with limited to no healthcare access or affordable health insurance, she realized that folks were not getting better. On March 16, 2016 we were born!
At CFMW we realize that Black and Indigenous People of Color (BIPOC) and Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBTQ) persons are the least able or likely to access mental health care due to various intersecting oppressions and we specifically focus our work in these areas by:
- Operating on extended hours including Saturday
- Employing clinical and administrative staff with diverse backgrounds and experience
- Fostering family and welcoming community in our offices
- Remaining deeply tied to our communities and investing in collective wellness.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

We love what we do because we're invested in the world we want to see. A world free from stigma and shame in how we care for ourselves and each other. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
