Mar 11, 2025

[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 clientโ€™s unique journey.

A Vision Rooted in Personal and Professional Passion

Jummyโ€™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 + Consultingโ€”a practice that integrates evidence-based therapy with mindfulness, nature-based healing, and culturally responsive care.

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

  • Professional Training & Community Workshops โ€“ 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:

โ€œHealing is not about fixing yourselfโ€”itโ€™s about embracing who you are and learning to hold space for your emotions with kindness and understanding.โ€

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

Jummyโ€™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.
