Therapy for Race-Based Stress in Charlotte, NC

Charlotte Is Changing. The Need for Culturally Competent Therapy Isn't.

Charlotte’s rapid growth brings opportunity and friction. For BIPOC communities in the Charlotte area, that friction often includes navigating predominantly white workplaces, institutions, and neighborhoods where the stress of racism shows up daily, even when it’s hard to name.

Kind Mind Psychology is a Black-owned practice with published clinical expertise in treating racial trauma. Our founder, Dr. Monica Johnson, co-authored Addressing Race-Based Stress in Therapy with Black Clients (Routledge), and that framework guides how our entire team approaches therapy for race and cultural identity.
