Healing That Looks Like Us
Across the country, Black women therapists, wellness practitioners, and organizers are reshaping mental health care — making it more accessible, culturally responsive, and community-centered.
From therapy collectives to healing circles and sliding-scale counseling practices, Black women are filling gaps left by systems that historically ignored our needs.
Creating Safe Spaces
Many of these providers emphasize:
-
Trauma-informed care
-
Group healing models
-
Faith- and culture-based approaches
They meet clients where they are — emotionally and financially.
This approach has been especially impactful in communities where stigma around mental health remains high.
Care as Liberation
For practitioners, this work is deeply personal. Many entered the field after navigating burnout, grief, or generational trauma themselves.
Their message is clear: healing is not weakness — it’s resistance.
A Movement Rooted in Care
Uptown Sunday celebrates those who help us heal in real time. Black women leading this mental health shift remind us that wellness is not a luxury — it’s a right.
