Black Christian Therapy
People of faith navigate mental health challenges just as others. Black Christian Therapy is a space where Black folks of faith can bring their true self. Research has shown that having spaces for people to create meaning from their lived experiences without feeling alienated decreases stigma and increases help-seeking behavior. While having religious or spiritual practices buffer us from some of the stressors of mental illness it does not make us impenetrable. Black Christian Therapy as an organization acknowledges the beauty of clinical and spiritual wisdom. We seek to shift the way Black people of faith access care, why they access care and with whom. We speak from a place of both expertise and experience. We are unapologetically passionate about black folks of faith increasing mental wealth. In my experience as both a research scientist, clinician and church-based mental health care provider I know the healing power of addressing both the spiritual and clinical needs of Black people.
