"I will always be a Voice to the Silenced, A Brave Space for the Misunderstood, and a Lighthouse that guides people through their stormy nights into a Hopeful Morning!"- Jermai

 

​Jermai Harrison, LMHC is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Speaker, Mentor, and Founder of A Fighting Chance Counseling Services, LLC (AFCCS). She is the visionary behind a Mental Wealth movement, “Occupy Your Space”, a culturally grounded approach to healing that challenges survival-only narratives and equips individuals to design lives rooted in identity, purpose, healing, legacy building, and generational impact.

With over a decade of experience serving disadvantaged youth in Residential Programs and nearly ten years in outpatient therapy, Jermai has worked extensively with teens, young adults, couples, and families navigating trauma, transition, and the pressure to “be strong.” Her work also empowers women and communities of color, integrating clinical expertise, faith-informed principles, and real-world mentorship to create safe and brave spaces for voice, restoration, purpose-driven lives, and legacy building.

As a CEU trainer, Podcast Host, Minister, and Doctoral candidate (EdD) in Community Counseling and Traumatology at Liberty University, Jermai bridges academia, spirituality, and lived experience. Through workshops, panels, and transformative community events, she equips individuals not only to heal, but to Occupy their Space, Break Generational Silence, and Build Mental Wealth.

Her mission is simple: to ensure every person she serves is given A Fighting Chance to thrive In Purpose, On Purpose, and With Purpose!
