Her Why...
Mrs. Blackman’s personal transformation lies at the heart of her mission. Having triumphed over significant personal challenges, she founded Rhapsody Counseling as a sanctuary for healing, hope, and restoration. Her journey, inspired by the promise of Isaiah 61:3—to bestow beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, and a garment of praise for a spirit of despair—has become a powerful testament to the redemptive power of purpose. Through Rhapsody, she channels her experiences into a lifeline for others, helping individuals and families rewrite their stories. Her unwavering passion and authenticity inspire audiences to embrace their own paths to wholeness, reminding them that even the deepest wounds can give rise to profound healing and transformation.
