For Us Therapeutics
Mental Health Counseling Services
OUR STORY
Two Brothers, Two Paths, Same Goals
We are Brian and LaKeith Sutton, two brothers born and raised in Washington, DC. We are two Black male therapists looking to support our community. We strive to provide quality professional care to the community through our efforts and our team of Black therapists.
We grew up in SE DC, in Section 8 housing, and managed to overcome many obstacles to do what we love. We took two separate paths to reach the same goal. That goal is the empowerment and betterment of the Black community through mental health services.
​
We noticed that there are not many Black people in mental health, especially Black men. Our primary purpose is to provide our culture and community with people who can help that come from the same community that looks just like them.
Allow us to be there for you when you need it the most. Time is the currency of life, so take some of it for healing and thriving.

The Little Brother
My name is LaKeith Sutton. I am a PROUD DC NATIVE and Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Washington, D.C., Maryland, Virginia, and Pennsylvania. I have been practicing therapy for 6 years and during that time, I have worked with children, adolescents, families, couples, and individuals. I have helped clients deal with grief and loss, depression, anxiety, personality disorders, and other mental health barriers. I take an integrated approach to therapy because I believe therapy is not one size fits all and clients need different approaches to therapy. Despite having an integrated approach I am trained in some evidence-based practices, specifically in Trauma Systems Therapy & Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
I am a graduate of Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia where I received a Bachelor of Science in Sociology with an emphasis in Social Welfare and African American/African Studies in 2011. For graduate school, I attended Temple University and earned a Master of Social Work degree with a Clinical Concentration specializing in children, youth, and families in 2014. I attended and completed my Doctorate of Social Work from the University of Kentucky.

DR. BRIAN SUTTON (Dr. B)
LICENSED MENTAL HEALTH THERAPIST
The Big Brother
Hi, I’m Dr. Brian Sutton, a proud Washington, D.C. native and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I’m also a National Certified Counselor (NCC), Certified EMDR Therapist (EMDRPT-I), Certified Solution-Focused Brief Therapist (SFT-PT), and Certified Neuropsychotherapist (NPT-C). My work brings together clinical expertise, academic leadership, and lived experience to provide care that’s culturally responsive, neuroscience-informed, and person-centered.
I specialize in creating safe, healing spaces where people feel seen, heard, and validated. I often work with individuals who feel stuck, disconnected from themselves, or uncertain about their path. My role is to help you tune into your thoughts and emotions, gain clarity, and move toward the best version of yourself—mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. I use an integrative approach that includes Person-Centered Therapy, EMDR, CBT, Mindfulness-Integrated Therapy, Choice Theory, and Christian Spiritual Counseling. But above all, I tailor my work to fit your unique needs—because real healing doesn’t come from a one-size-fits-all model.
Before becoming a therapist, I served in the U.S. Army, where I developed a deep understanding of resilience, purpose, and transformation. Today, I work with clients from all walks of life and offer individual, couples, family, adolescent, and faith-based therapy.
Outside of the therapy room, I’m also a college professor and have been teaching psychology and counseling courses since 2017. I hold a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision from Walden University, a Master’s in Psychology from American Military University, and a Bachelor’s in Social Science from the University of Maryland. I’ve presented at national conferences on African American mental health, identity development, and multicultural counseling.
At the heart of my work is this mission: to help you discover your voice, step into your power, and walk confidently toward healing and wholeness.
