At Therapy Lab, you’ll work with a therapist who’s trained to understand the psychological impact of racial stress—not as personal pathology, but as a response to very real social and systemic conditions.
We begin by validating your experiences, identifying your triggers, and exploring how race-based stress shows up in your life. You’ll learn cognitive strategies to reframe internalized beliefs, develop personalized coping tools that honor your cultural values, and set boundaries that protect your emotional wellbeing. We also focus on building approaches to racial self-care and reconnecting with cultural strengths and collective wisdom as sources of resilience.
This framework acknowledges the reality of systemic inequities while helping you foster agency in how you respond, work through difficult experiences, and maintain your authentic self-expression. By the end of treatment, you’ll walk away with a practical, personalized toolkit for navigating racial stressors, advocating for yourself, and facing future challenges with clarity and confidence.
Therapy Lab clinicians hold advanced degrees in clinical psychology and related science-based clinical practices, with specialized training in culturally responsive care. Many of our therapists have lived experiences that inform their understanding of racial stress. Their approach balances acknowledgment of systemic realities with cultivation of personal empowerment.
