    Introduction

    Welcome to the Bougie Black Therapists Podcast where we give licensed clinicians permission to be bold, be authentic, competent, and true to themselves while in private practice.

    In today’s Bougie Episode, we discuss the topic of cultivating a private practice as a Black therapist with Montoyia McGowan and guest Dr. NaRicia Futrell, two of the top Black therapists in the field.

    Therapy is becoming something more people of color want to invest in; however it's challenging to find someone that people of color can relate to. 80% of the therapeutic process is dependent upon how comfortable the client feels around the therapist. The remaining 20% is what was taught in school.

    “Therapist Statistics & Facts: How Many are There in 2022?”, Zauderer, Steven, November 13, 2022, https://www.crossrivertherapy.com/.

    Topics:

    • Representation in Psychotherapy

    • Time Management

    • Agency vs. Private Practice

    • Sharing Personal Experiences with Clients

    • Setting Boundaries as a Therapist

    • Self-Care Practices

    • Exchange of Energy

    • Brainspotting

    Conclusion:

    Some therapists choose not to share their personal experiences during sessions, while others may share their perspective with a client on what a more healed version of them could possibly look like. There is no set way to help clients figure out life blueprints work for them but being human during sessions allows a healthy exchange of energy that helps clients of color relate to therapists of color in a beneficial way.
