Published: Feb. 23, 2021, 10 p.m.


Yema Ferreira is an Angolan-born psychotherapist living in Denmark where she uses her healing gifts for 'Facilitating Black Girl Magic'. She knew from early on in life that she wanted to work with people therapeutically to resolve trauma. And so she studied psychology at Temple University and later trained in Existential Psychotherapy at the Psykoterapeutisk Institut in Denmark. She now has her own practice in Copenhagen where she consults  local and international clients. 

This wide-ranging conversation with Yema encompasses how she approaches her work with women of African descent, how she helps them re-frame their own narratives  and use different tools for self-healing. She also shares how she goes about the business of healing herself.
