✨Black History Month Spotlight: Mental Health Trailblazer✨
Week 3: Dr. Joseph L. White – Godfather of Black Psychology
Meet Dr. Joseph L. White, known as the Godfather of Black Psychology and a champion of strength-based healing.
Dr. White challenged deficit-based thinking and encouraged mental health professionals to see Black clients through the lens of resilience, brilliance, and cultural pride. His work reminds us that healing is not about “fixing” what is broken—it’s about recognizing the strength that already exists.
At Breakthrough Counseling, LLC, we honor this legacy by helping clients reclaim their power and walk boldly in their purpose. 🩷
