Well-Intended Isn’t Enough: Healing, Joy and the Cost of Resilience with LaNail Plummer

What happens when therapists rely on good intentions instead of genuine understanding? In this episode of Therapist Confidential, Travis Heath welcomes Dr. LaNail Plummer—therapist, educator, CEO of Onyx Therapy Group, and author of The Essential Guide for Counseling Black Women. Together, they explore what clinicians often miss when working with Black women, the limitations of multicultural training, the burden of resilience, and the importance of creating therapeutic spaces where people no longer have to be strong. LaNail challenges therapists to move beyond good intentions and examine the biases, assumptions, and blind spots they bring into the room. Along the way, she offers a powerful vision of healing rooted in culture, self-reflection, joy, and community. This is a conversation about what it means to heal what has been harmed—and why well-intended isn’t enough.
