A Nationwide Movement Making Culturally Competent Therapy Accessible & Affordable
NEW YORK - ncarol.com -- With Black mental health gaining national attention, The Black Therapy Network (BTN) is launching to ensure culturally competent therapy is accessible to all. Black Americans are 50% less likely to receive treatment, despite facing mental health challenges at similar or higher rates than white Americans. With only 4% of therapists in the U.S. being Black, many struggle to find culturally competent care. BTN is bridging this gap by making therapy accessible, affordable, and stigma-free.
Unlike mainstream therapy platforms, BTN is built for Black clients by Black professionals, ensuring a deeper understanding of cultural experiences and identity-related stressors. This movement is dedicated to normalizing therapy in the Black community by breaking systemic barriers and providing a trusted space for healing.
Why This Matters
"Far too often, Black individuals struggle to find therapy that speaks to their lived experiences," says Kerry Shipman, J.D., MPA, Founder of The Black Therapy Network. "BTN provides a space for Black clients to receive culturally aligned, accessible, and stigma-free care."

Why This Matters
- Black Americans face significant barriers to mental health care, including stigma, financial constraints, and a lack of culturally competent providers.
- Mistrust in the medical system, along with systemic disparities, makes therapy harder to access.
