The Healing Collective is a wellness, therapy, and consulting practice committed to supporting individuals, organizations, and communities in cultivating sustainable wellbeing.

Founded by Aayla Alexander, Dr. Mar’Kayla Walker-Jones, and Phylicia Currence, The Healing Collective was born from years of shared experience, mutual respect, and a collective vision for what healing can look like when care is culturally responsive, relationship-centered, and rooted in humanity.

Together, we bring extensive experience across mental health care, higher education, healthcare, community-based practice, leadership development, and organizational wellness. Throughout our careers, we recognized a growing need for spaces that not only support healing, but also help people navigate the pressures of performance, leadership, visibility, and change.

So we created one.

At The Healing Collective, we support the people behind the performance. Through therapy, wellness consulting, workshops, retreats, and organizational partnerships, we help individuals and teams build resilience, foster connection, and sustain wellbeing in high-pressure environments.

Our work centers on three key areas: Organizational Wellness & Performance Consulting, Athlete Wellness & Performance Support, and Entertainment, Media & Creative Wellness. Whether we are working with a professional navigating burnout, an athlete managing the demands of competition, a creative balancing life in the public eye, or an organization investing in the wellbeing of its people, we bring compassion, expertise, and authenticity to every interaction.

We believe healing is both personal and collective. It happens when people feel seen, supported, and empowered to thrive.

At The Healing Collective, we honor the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—and remain committed to creating spaces where wellbeing and excellence can coexist.
