Imani Parks
he/him · LMSW, Staff Therapist
Therapy with Imani is a warm, thoughtful journey grounded in relationship. In this supportive space, clients explore their inner worlds and personal histories to understand how past experiences shape current patterns. Drawing from psychodynamic principles, Imani emphasizes how healing happens through connection—with ourselves and with others. His natural blend of empathy, curiosity, and thoughtful humor makes the therapeutic process meaningful and approachable.
Imani has worked with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, identity exploration including LGBTQIA+ and gender identity, racial identity and lived experience, grief and loss, perfectionism, and relationship issues including polyamory and consensual non-monogamy. His practice is culturally responsive, LGBTQIA+ affirming, and grounded by the impact of social structures and power dynamics on lived experience.
Imani earned his Master's in Social Work from the Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College and his Bachelor's in French Language and Literature from the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill.
