In the United States, Black women make up approximately 14% — and Latina women 7.9% — of all licensed clinicians (LMHC/LPC, LCSW, LMFT).

In Indiana, those numbers are even smaller: approximately 10% and 6%, respectively (Burreau of Labor Statistics).

And yet — we are here. We have always been here.

We stand on the shoulders of:

Dr. Inez Beverly Prosser — first Black woman psychologist in the U.S.

Dr. Margaret Morgan Lawrence — first Black woman psychoanalyst and psychotherapist in the U.S.

Dr. Mamie Phipps Clark — first Black woman to earn a psychology PhD from Columbia University, whose landmark "Doll Test" helped end school segregation

Dr. Martha E. Bernal — first Latina to earn a PhD in psychology in the U.S.

Dr. Melba J.T. Vasquez — first Latina President of the American Psychological Association

As we close out this Women's History Month, Courageous Healing, Inc. honors their legacies — and carry them forward every day, in every session, sitting with women who are boldly owning the narratives of their own histories.

International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Slavery & the Transatlantic Slave Trade

March 25, 2026

Yesterday, the world took a historic step toward truth and healing.

The United Nations General Assembly passed a landmark resolution — led by Ghana's President John Dramani Mahama and supported by 123 nations — formally declaring the transatlantic slave trade the gravest crime against humanity. The resolution calls on nations to engage in reparatory justice, including formal apologies, restitution, compensation, and systemic changes to address racism and ongoing discrimination.

For over 400 years, more than 12.5 million African men, women, and children were stolen from their homes, stripped of their names, their languages, their families, and their futures. This was not just a historical atrocity — its wounds are still open.

Why does this matter for mental health?

At Courageous Healing, Inc., we know that trauma does not end when the event does. The legacy of enslavement lives in the bodies, nervous systems, and psyches of Black people today — in the form of intergenerational trauma, racial battle fatigue, racial health disparities, and the chronic stress of navigating systems rooted in anti-Blackness. Healing cannot be fully separated from acknowledgment, and acknowledgment cannot be separated from justice.

This resolution is not just political — it is psychological. When the world says we see what was done, and it was wrong,that recognition is part of the healing process. It is what culturally centered mental health care has always understood: you cannot heal what the world refuses to name.

As Ghana's Foreign Minister Samuel Ablakwa said: "History does not disappear when ignored, truth does not weaken when delayed... and justice does not expire with time."

We celebrate this resolution as a step — one step — on the long road to collective healing. And we remain committed to walking that road alongside our community: holding space for grief, honoring resilience, and providing care that truly sees and honors the fullness of Black life and history.

Healing is not forgetting. Healing is being seen.

Last week, Co-founder Aaron Lane, MSOL, LSW got the opportunity to spend time with Bloom Project, Inc.

We love when collaborations just make sense! Thank you to Arnetta Scruggs and the Bloom team for pouring into so many young men in our community.

Leadership isn't just modeled in the office or the boardroom. It’s lived out loud in every space we occupy.

Co-founders and Co-CEOs Aaron and Janell Lane spent the morning pouring into the team at Brotherhood Mutua.l — What made it even more meaningful, is that their children were able to join them. The children had a chance to practice being guest panelists!

These opportunities for intergenerational learning and connection provide living lessons for the next generation: what it looks like to steward a calling with grace, integrity, and intentionality.

Thanks to for inviting the team to share at chapel and for your continued partnership with Courageous Healing.

Anyone else still hype from the Superbowl Halftime Show?

Despite so much chaos going on, during this 100th Black History Month, Bad Bunny reminded us that our history expands across the diaspora.

Most importantly, that “the only thing more powerful than hate is love.”

Standing in solidarity.
Not allowing division to win!

“If you can control a man’s thinking, you do not have to worry about his actions.” - Carter Godwin Woodson

We are Black History!

Co-founder, Janell Lane, LMHC, shared some thoughts on the state of couples and marital relationships currently and the sustaining impact that being coupled can have on buffering stress and other mental health conditions.

In an increasingly chaotic and stressful world, interpersonal relationships have never been more important.

In order to give our amazing team time to center themselves, their families, and to get some much needed R&R, we will be closed for winter break December 22nd, 2025 through January 2nd, 2026.

This was such a vibe! It is hard to put into words the way that God showed up and ministered to each of us individually at the Jesus & Therapy Conference 2025. Huge thanks to all who attended and those who are looking forward to next year!

12/09/2025

The Jesus & Therapy 2025 Conference was a success! We laughed, cried, learned, worshiped, and prayed together. We dug deep into mental health topics! We shared truth about the word. We explored the space and places that have kept us from acknowledging both of these things and healing in the past. We will no longer be stuck, put in a box, or kept away from generational healing!!!

We confirmed that "Jesus" and "Therapy" can co-exist!

Today is "Giving Tuesday," which is a day of giving that takes place the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, encouraging people to give back to their communities.

Taking care of our tribe, has always been embedded in our identity as a people group. Honestly, it is the reason we exist as an organization.

This Giving Tuesday, as you prayerfully reflect on which causes you want to financially get behind, we ask you to consider supporting us, as we support others!

Mental Health is so important and we could all use a little support right now, especially as the holidays approach.
