The Therapy Sessions

Therapy Sessions is the story of a young woman hemmed in by her past. Diane Phillips continues to make the same mistakes in her quest for love and acceptance. After getting over her hang up that black folks don’t believe in mental health therapy, Diane sets out to make a new path in life. But like life can be unpredictable and despite her best efforts, Diane has to deal with not only past hurts and pains but the daily drama of being a black woman working in a good ole boys corporate environment and a love life that is constantly on the skids. At the end of each week, Diane seeks refuge in her rocks…best friends Kissie and Payton and her therapist, Dr. Parkin.

Directed by Tony Singletary, The Therapy Sessions leans on a strong ensemble — Kimberley Locke, Bern Nadette Stanis, Elise Neal — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 0.
