Therapy for the treatment of Black men and women is a person-centered, individualized type of psychotherapeutic care that takes into account the emotional and mental impact of being a black person of color in today’s society. Thriveworks Wilmington therapists use traditional therapy techniques implemented through an anti-racist lens, addressing issues like racism, colorism, toxic masculinity/misogyny, and others. This type of therapy is meant to create a safe space for black individuals to express their emotions and alleviate their stress in an environment that caters to their unique experiences.
Therapy for Black men and women is much like standard psychotherapy in that Thriveworks Wilmington therapists will use a variety of approaches depending on each client’s needs. However, it will also heavily incorporate person-centered therapy, which means that every client’s individual experiences, goals, and needs will be at the forefront of treatment.
Therapy for Black men and women at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Therapy for Black women and men will last as long as necessary to achieve the client’s therapeutic goals, whether that be a few months or years. Generally, though, true progress will often take at least five months. Thriveworks therapists in Wilmington, DE will continue to provide care for as long as necessary to help clients meet their therapeutic needs.

The therapists at Thriveworks Wilmington are doing their part to offer personalized care to each client that respects their cultural context. Our counselors know that a client’s cultural context matters. People’s whole lives matter—including their race and ethnicity. Instead of taking a colorblind approach, our therapists advocate for understanding, respect, and empathy.
As therapists show they can be trusted and as clients feel safe, the therapists at Thriveworks Wilmington are able to offer individualized and holistic care. Each person faces unique challenges and opportunities, hopes and dreams, triumphs and traumas, struggles and fears. Each person need a safe place to process their experiences. As clients feel safe, they often dive deeply into emotional and psychological wounds, including wounds that are tied to their ethnicity and race. Therapists are guides on the healing journey. Every issue that a client may explore in therapy could never be listed, but a few examples of topics that African Americans often explore include…
One psychologist, Dr. Jeffrey Gardere, described how more and more African Americans are receiving care at his New York practice. He said he has “seen an increasing number of African Americans who feel increasingly less stigmatized about coming in and seeking therapy and who also recognize the healing power of therapy.”
