This week reminded me that you only fail if you stop. Even when things feel heavy or uncertain, that’s not the final answer.

I’m leaning into that truth and opening three therapeutic groups designed to help you keep going, heal deeply, and grow in community.

The World Is Waiting for You – Therapeutic Book Club
Saturdays at 9AM
A guided 12-week journey through Edwina Findley Dickerson’s book on purpose, calling, and the God-dream over your life.

Black Moms Anonymous
Saturdays at 11AM
A safe, therapeutic space for Black moms to process, heal, and build community without judgment.

Faith and Feelings
Thursdays at 6PM
Because God cares about your mental health. This therapeutic Bible study explores emotional health through faith and practice.

Each group is $50 per session or can be covered by insurance.
All sessions are virtual and facilitated by me, Whitney Dodds, LMHC.

This week I had the honor of leading Self-Care via Self-Compassion for the Madam C.J. Walker PACE Bootcamp with the New Voices Foundation.

This session was special. We talked about healing while building, leading from overflow instead of exhaustion, and giving ourselves permission to be human while pursuing purpose.

To hear participants describe it as one of the most meaningful and reflective conversations of the entire program reminded me why I do this work.

💬 “I left feeling vulnerable yet secure.”
💬 “It reminded me that I need to live and give from abundance.”
💬 “This was the best session! I’ve been reflecting on my money mindset.”

Thank you to everyone who showed up with openness and courage. You reminded me that self-compassion is leadership.

And a big heart felt thank you to Maria Casanova Brown for bringing me in!

Been in therapy for months or even years but still feel stuck?

You’re not alone, many clients reach a point where they start asking:

– Why am I still holding back?
– Why does this feel like a separate life I live for one hour a week?
– Why am I scrambling for something to talk about every session?

If that sounds familiar, it might be time to ask:

Is this the right therapist for me?
Is this the right time slot for my life and brain?

At Wellness for the Culture, we offer a personalized approach.

We are here to translate your lived experience into growth.

We help you make therapy work outside the room, not just in it.

If you’re ready for therapy that actually meets you where you are, we’re here.
