Black therapists you should be following
I previously shared 10 Black mental health professionals you should be following on Instagram.
This week, in honor of Black History Month, I want to highlight more Black therapist content creators.
Support them this month and every month by following them, engaging with their content, and most importantly, hiring them.
Many are available for paid consulting, speaking, and brand partnerships.
