She combines her clinical training and EMDR experience with a belief in the power of awareness and empowerment to support people through trauma, life transitions, anxiety, and depression.

As we close out Black History Month, it’s vital to recognize the ongoing fight for mental health equity.

The work of trailblazers like Dr. Kenneth Clark and Dr. Mamie Phipps Clark challenged the systems that perpetuate racial inequities in mental health care. Yet, the shortage of Black therapists and the disparities in care remain significant barriers.

To build a more just mental health system, we must continue to advocate for BIPOC care and ensure that everyone has access to the support they need. Acknowledging the past helps us heal today and create a future where everyone has access to affirming, culturally competent care.

02/26/2026

At Kindred Harbor, we are proud of our commitment to offering care that honors the diverse needs of BIPOC communities.

Experiences of racism, marginalization, and cultural disconnection often shape mental health challenges in these communities; that’s why we prioritize providing services that are not only therapeutic but also culturally relevant and affirming.

By recognizing and addressing the unique barriers that BIPOC individuals face, we strive to create a space where healing can happen on their own terms, free of judgment or bias.

We recognize that mental health care must be diverse, inclusive, and rooted in respect for every individual’s background.

Caretha Ferguson brings warmth, care, and professional experience to Kindred Harbor.
With MSW and LSW credentials plus EMDR training, she offers gentle, trauma-informed support for grief, relationship challenges, and life transitions.
She creates non-judgmental spaces where people feel safe to share and heal from painful experiences.
Caretha’s strength lies in honoring each person’s story and helping them reconnect with inner strength and hope.
Her dedication shines in every conversation and supportive moment she offers.

Dr. Mamie Phipps Clark’s groundbreaking research into the effects of racism on Black children helped shift the conversation on segregation and self-worth in America.

Her studies, including the "Clark Doll Experiment," revealed that Black children internalized the negative stereotypes imposed by society.
Through her pioneering work, Dr. Clark contributed to the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision, showing how racial segregation deeply impacted children’s psychological well-being.

During Black History Month, we honor her invaluable contributions to both psychology and the fight for racial equality.
Dr. Clark's work reminds us of the profound impact that mental health research can have on social justice.

The shortage of Black therapists is a reminder of the gaps in our healthcare system and the vital need for diversity within mental health professions.
Historically, Black communities have faced a unique set of challenges, many of which are rooted in systemic racism and social inequality.
This lack of representation in therapy can leave Black individuals feeling unheard, unseen, and without culturally competent care.
During Black History Month, we reflect on the importance of access to mental health services that are tailored to the lived experiences of Black people.
Representation matters. It builds trust, fosters understanding, and creates healing spaces where individuals feel supported by those who truly understand their histories and identities.

02/16/2026

Meet Gabrielle Cooper. With a Master of Arts, LPC license and ATR-P art therapy credentials, Gabrielle brings together counseling and creative healing.

Working with individuals from the LGBTQIA+ community, BIPOC clients, people with disabilities, and those navigating substance use or trauma, Gabrielle creates a space where healing can unfold through art, reflection, and gentle support.
Their commitment to honoring each person’s journey helps others reconnect with hope, strength, and self-understanding.

Meet Kenneth Dampier, a therapist guided by compassion and rooted in the belief that each person is the expert of their own life.
With his MSSA credentials and lived experience, Kenneth creates non-judgmental spaces where healing can begin.
He supports individuals and couples, offers LGBTQ+ affirming care, and brings EMDR and case management services to those who need them.
What draws him to this work is his genuine curiosity about people, his passion for stories, and his commitment to helping others rediscover their inner strength.

Black history is living history. It lives in our bodies, our nervous systems, our stories, and our resilience. Mental health disparities in Black communities did not happen by chance.

They were shaped by generations of survival, exclusion, and being asked to endure without adequate care. During Black History Month, we recognize both the strength that carried us forward and the weight that came with it. Healing is not separate from our legacy. It is part of it.

02/06/2026

During Black History Month, we remember Dr. Kenneth Clark, whose work helped name the psychological impact of racism on Black children.

His research showed that inequality reaches far beyond laws and policies. It shapes self perception, identity, and emotional well being from an early age. He made visible what many families already knew but the system refused to acknowledge. Dr. Clark’s legacy reminds us that mental health is deeply connected to how society treats the communities most exposed to injustice.
