Ooohhhhh tonight on The Phat Girl Chronicles is about to be so bomb with my sister Nicole Anderson hopping on to discuss her journey as a mental health counselor, creating her business A Cure for the Culture, LLC and to help us along the way to being more aware of our own mental health and some factors to look out for in our loved ones!!!
Here's a quote from a recent article about her in Voyage Houston http://voyagehouston.com/.../check-out-nicole-andersons.../
A Cure for the Culture, LLC was birthed with the purpose of creating a safe, therapeutic space for individuals of color.
For years, conversations about therapy and mental health have been absent from our culture due to the lack of awareness, accessibility, and representation, despite its significance and need. Being raised in a predominantly African American city and attending a predominantly white institution where I was 1 of 2 students of color in my cohort was eye-opening. I remember the continuous search for people, things, and places that looked like me– reminders that I belonged and validation that my experiences as a black woman were appreciated and understood.
The validation I sought became more difficult to obtain because there were limited options and opportunities to process shared experiences. After entering the field, that search for validation and connectedness continued. If that were my struggle as a therapist, I could only imagine how prospective clients felt. How long had people considered or sought therapy but were left with minimal options of therapists who understood their experiences without having to provide the culture backstory? A Cure for the Culture was created for them!
