Get to Know Us
Grounded Stars LLC is a youth-centered mental health startup serving Black and Brown youth with a bold belief: prevention is power. We offer trauma-informed care, non-clinical support, and clinical therapy services for youth ages 0–24, grounded in culture, compassion, and real-world skills. Through engaging Social Emotional Learning (SEL) courses, digital mentorship, peer connection, and virtual clinical therapy sessions, we help young people thrive emotionally, socially, and mentally—before crisis begins.
Our programs blend culturally responsive mental health education, identity-affirming support, and licensed clinical care. Whether it’s learning to regulate emotions, de-escalate conflict, exploring identity, navigating grief, building social skills, understanding money, or accessing live group therapy—we provide a full-circle system for emotional wellness. Through virtual programs, youth-led projects, game-based learning, and community-based wellness, we create safe digital spaces where young people build resilience, self-esteem, regulate emotions, and gain tools to manage real-life challenges.
We currently welcome youth from birth through age 24 for all clinical services and look forward to working in partnership with families, schools, pediatric providers, hospitals, juvenile centers, and all youth organizations who share our mission of equity, safety, and joy.

1
Self-Esteem Building
We empower youth to build a strong sense of self-worth through interactive workshops, mentorship, and group activities. Our programs provide practical tools to navigate peer pressure, discrimination, and self-doubt—challenges that too often weigh on the confidence of Black and Brown youth. We focus on uplifting their unique identities and lived experiences while creating inclusive spaces where all young people feel supported. Our goal is to help youth overcome obstacles and grow into their boldest, most confident selves.

Emotional Regulation
Teaching emotional regulation is both crisis prevention and crime prevention, especially for Black and Brown youth with trauma and emotional triggers. Through educational workshops in regulation, mindfulness, stress management, and communication, we help youth build emotional intelligence and healthy coping strategies. Our group and one-on-one chat sessions provide a safe space to express feelings, build resilience, and access support before crisis escalates. This proactive approach supports safer choices and stronger communities.
3
Mentorship and Peer Support
Grounded Stars connects youth with mentors who understand their cultural backgrounds and lived experiences, fostering relationships that provide guidance and support. Our mentorship program helps young people navigate challenges such as systemic barriers, identity development, and future goals. Through peer support circles, we create a community where youth can bond over shared experiences, receive ongoing encouragement, and celebrate personal growth. This network of mentors and peers fosters lasting connections and a deep sense of belonging, especially for youth seeking culturally affirming support.
