Healing In Color: Being a Black Therapist in a Browning America Part II

Part II. In this powerful episode, we sit down with Dr. Gene Edwards, a Black mental health therapist, to explore the unique challenges and profound rewards of serving in a field still struggling with representation. We dive into what it means to hold space for others while navigating systemic barriers, cultural stigmas, and the emotional toll of racial trauma. As America grows increasingly diverse, we discuss how the mental health landscape must evolve—and why the presence of therapists of color is more important than ever. This is a candid, inspiring conversation about healing, identity, and the urgent need for culturally competent care.
