My name is Dr. Naomi Black and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Master Level Addiction Counselor serving the metro Atlanta area. I selected the name Circle of Therapeutic Alliance and Consulting because it signifies my authentic belief to empower my culturally diverse sisters as we revisit or rewrite their narrative experiences together. In addition, I implement a holistic approach to integrate the well-being of mind, body, and soul as well as co-facilitate a therapeutic alliance to create the nature, purpose and organic consequences that increases one's level of self-acceptance to confront challenges effectively. I believe that changing mindsets and shifting belief systems drive the transformation of behaviors, therefore my modalities include Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy-CBT, Military STAR Behavioral Health platform, Interpersonal Psychotherapy, and Crisis Intervention to treat depression, grief/loss issues, trauma, emotional dysregulation, family/couple conflict, suicidal ideation, aging, school/career related challenges and other unresolved barriers. I offer weekday and weekend service days as well as after work hour appointments (upon request). I look forward to serving your therapeutic needs.
SignStream® version 3 !*
A new Java version of SignStream® is now available !
Get Version 3.3 - an update released in July of 2020.
(also available for Windows Mac Linux iPhone/iPad Android) f.lux makes your computer screen look like the room you're in, all the time. When the sun sets, it makes your computer look like your indoor lights. View the profiles of people named Naomi Mac. Join Facebook to connect with Naomi Mac and others you may know. Facebook gives people the power to share. Erased the Internal SSD drive with Disk Utility and Installed Mac OS X 10.8 fresh. Booted newly installed Mac OS X 10.8 and opened App Store (App Store still works fine just a little slow rendering images). The Mac OS 10.8 App Store would ONLY download the 19MB High Sierra Installer AGAIN!!! So I proceeded with that. See what Naomi Aaron (naomiaaron5534) has discovered on Pinterest, the world's biggest collection of ideas.
Designed to facilitate linguistic annotation and analysis of video data from American Sign Language (ASL).
System requirements:
- Mac OS 10.8 through 10.14. Important warning:SignStream® is not compatible with the latest version of the Mac operating system. We hope to resolve compatibility issues in the near future, but as of now, SignStream® will not work with Mac OS versions 10.15 or later.
- Java 6 (legacy) is also required; you can download that from https://support.apple.com/kb/dl1572?locale=en_US.
Download the latest version (3.3) of the software - and follow the instructions for installation carefully.

Once the ASLLRP Sign Bank has been installed, SignStream® will check for Sign Bank updates each time SignStream® is launched. If an update is needed, a terminal window will open to enable the update to occur, after which the program itself will launch.
The Data Access Interface (DAI) allows browsing, search, and download of ASL video data (linguistically annotated through use of SignStream®
