As Black History Month concludes, we're honored to share our latest blog post exploring the transformative intersection of feminist principles and Black mental health. At Therapy Center of Philadelphia, we've witnessed firsthand how feminist approaches create spaces where Black people can experience validation rather than pathologization of their lived experiences. This piece examines how Black feminist thought offers powerful frameworks for healing that honor our full humanity while addressing the impacts of systemic oppression. We invite you to read and share these reflections on creating mental health approaches that support not just survival, but genuine flourishing.
