| About Nakeyshaey: Nakeyshaey M. Tillie-Allen, affectionately known as "The Hip-Hop Therapist ™",is a entrepreneur, national social work consultant, licensed social therapist, life coach, published author, and the Founder and CEO of the Hip-Hop Therapy Project, LLC (HHTP).

The HHTP also serves as a resource for agencies, institutions, communities, and helping professionals that seek to reach out and engage youth and young adults. While feeling misunderstood and abandoned, in 1992, Nakeyshaey learned that our society has an overwhelming tendency to blame youth for its social ills and problems.

It gives meaning to their story, as well as an insight that fosters new ways of thinking, methodologies for learning, practice, competence, relations, and outcomes for helping professionals- hence - Hip-Hop Therapy ®. Ms. Tillie-Allen has thoroughly researched the validity of the approach Hip-Hop Therapy ®. She has developed the approach so now that it is a licensable product and trains other helping professionals and agencies on how to use the approach.
