(#552) Why It's So Hard to Find a Black Therapist (Real Talk With a Licensed MFT)
Why it's so hard to find a Black therapist — real talk with a licensed MFT who lived the search herself. From 5 failed attempts to find a Black therapist during the pandemic to becoming the answer for her community, this interview goes deep on the supply problem, the licensing journey, and what therapy really looks like behind the scenes.
In this Therapists Deserve Abundance podcast interview, I'm sitting down with Astrik Price, LMFT and Child Mental Health Specialist out of University Place, Washington. Astrid walks us through her full clinical journey — from undergrad sociology with a Law, Society and Justice minor, to a master's in marriage and family therapy, to 7 years at a community mental health agency serving at-risk youth and families on state insurance.
