Why work with a Black psychiatrist?

Black Psychiatrists:

Are empathic to cultural issues. You will feel like you are talking with someone who gets you, sees you, and who knows how to get the best for you. ‍

Are experts on the black experience. Black psychiatrists have a specialized skill set to understand the nuances of Black culture, along with the impact of racism and generational trauma.‍

Can often help you find your solution faster. Few will be able to relate to the many nuances of Black people better than a Black mental health professional. You won’t have to spend time in your sessions explaining or validating yourself. They are members of your community, churches, school districts, etcetera. They experience what you experience. They get you in ways that not everyone will be able to.

3 benefits of working with a psychiatrist versus “working on myself:”

Mental health can be tricky. There are some mental health issues that can’t be fixed with self-care and meditation alone. You can’t trust social media or a book written to a general audience to resolve your specific combination of issues. Psychiatrists are trained at the highest level to give you what actually works, not just what gets clicks and likes.

A trained professional can help you feel better faster. We have years of experience helping people just like you, which will help you cut through the noise, identify the core issues, and create a plan to resolve them.

We do the work for you. You can’t be inside the problem and solve it. Working with a professional takes away the stress of you finding a solution that you may not be able to see because you’re too close to the situation.
