Stephen shares his journey from studying theatre and forensic psychology to becoming one of the few Black male psychologists in the US – a journey shaped by representation, mentorship and persistence.They explore what it means for Black men to feel seen in therapy, the importance of language and cultural resonance, and how traditional models can unintentionally alienate men of colour. Stephen also discusses how he works with clients in a slower, more relational way – creating space for trust, emotion and authenticity to unfold naturally.You can find Stephen here: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/therapists/stephen-mark-smith-brooklyn-ny/309746You can find Jett here: https://jettstonephd.comEpisode page on Men’s Therapy Hub: https://menstherapyhub.co.uk/no-mans-an-island-episode-15-with-dr-stephen-smith/Men's Therapy Hub UK DirectoryNo Man's an Island - podcast pageFollow:🎥 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@menstherapyhub📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/menstherapyhub/💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/menstherapyhub/🎵 Music: Raindear Hosted on Acast.
