Breaking Barriers in Mental Health: How Jummy Kirby Is Transforming Holistic Therapy

[Nationwide] - In a world where mental health care is often compartmentalized, Jummy Kirby, MA, LPC, PMH-C, CMIP, is redefining therapy by embracing a holistic, culturally affirming, and integrative approach. As the founder of Relinquish & Transcend Counseling + Consulting, Jummy has created a space where individuals can heal beyond traditional talk therapy, incorporating mindfulness, ecotherapy, and self-compassion practices that honor each client’s unique journey.

A Vision Rooted in Personal and Professional Passion

Jummy’s dedication to mental health care stems from her own lived experiences. After navigating the complexities of perinatal mental health, loss, and recovery, she recognized the gaps in traditional mental health services, particularly for mothers, marginalized communities, and individuals seeking alternative healing methods. This realization led to the birth of Relinquish & Transcend Counseling + Consulting—a practice that integrates evidence-based therapy with mindfulness, nature-based healing, and culturally responsive care.

Bridging the Gap Between Mental Health and Holistic Wellness

What makes Relinquish & Transcend Counseling + Consulting unique? The practice doesn’t just focus on managing symptoms; it empowers clients to reconnect with themselves, their environment, and their communities.

• Mindfulness & Self-Compassion Practices – Helping clients cultivate emotional awareness and resilience.

• Ecotherapy & Nature-Based Healing – Utilizing the restorative power of nature to promote mental wellness.

• Culturally Affirming & Inclusive Therapy – Providing affirming care for BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and underrepresented communities.

• Perinatal & Reproductive Mental Health Expertise – Specialized support for pregnancy, postpartum, infertility, and loss.

• Professional Training & Community Workshops – Equipping individuals and professionals with tools for holistic healing and wellness.

Empowering Clients Through Self-Compassion and Connection

Jummy strongly believes in the power of self-compassion as a foundation for healing. She often reminds her clients:

“Healing is not about fixing yourself—it’s about embracing who you are and learning to hold space for your emotions with kindness and understanding.”

This philosophy has shaped her work, helping clients unlearn patterns of self-judgment and cultivate a sense of self-worth that is rooted in self-awareness and acceptance.

A Recognized Leader in Mental Health Advocacy

Jummy’s innovative approach has not gone unnoticed. She and her team have been recognized for their work in perinatal mental health and culturally competent care, earning accolades such as the Best of Award for Excellence in Holistic Mental Health Care. She has also been invited to lead workshops and training sessions on topics such as decolonizing therapy, mindfulness in mental health, and the impact of ecotherapy on emotional well-being.
