81 The Reason Why I Chose NOT to Major in Traditional Psychology

In 2010, the percentage of Black or African American Mental Health Counselors was 15.59%; in 2021, the rate dropped to 11.28%.**Between 2019 and 2021, there was a decline in White mental health counselors, with the most significant reduction occurring in White men, from 40.14% in 2010 to 31.36% in 2021. That’s almost a 10-plus percent difference.I can only speculate as to why that is as a Black woman, but I will wait for any sort of statistical reports before I share my opinion on that. Or maybe I’ll wait until another podcast episode… Who knows? But just know that I will cover this a little later.So if 69% of counselors are women, yet the total percentage of all Black or African American counselors is 11.28% (in 2021), why didn’t I make it my business to get a traditional psychology doctorate?Well, that’s a great question. Keep listening to find out…See you inside the episode…What You Learn:My journey and experience with traditional psychology and how I became the Corporate Metaphysician What a support team is and how beneficial it can beSome practices that go hand in hand with traditional psychologyHow I can help you curate the perfect support team for youFeatured on the Show:**Read Zippia’s Statistics on Mental Health Professional DemographicsCheck out my newsletter titled “Did You Know” on LinkedIn which covers Leadership and Personal Development Topics for Women, teaching you how to lead confidently and consciously using practical and spiritual concepts.Begin your healing journey by joining the Relationship Architect Academy and find the support you need today!Get on the Waitlist for my upcoming community for healing and supporting my Black and Brown sisters!Reach out to me on our Contact PageLearn more about how you can work directly with meLove the show?
