Black patients and Psychology (PhD/PsyD)
Black psychologists (PhD/PsyD): therapy, assessment, neuropsychology. Fewer than 4 percent of U.S. psychologists are Black, so concordance matters deeply.
Only about 4 percent of U.S. psychologists are Black (APA, 2022), yet the demand is extraordinary. Black adults with major depression are half as likely as white adults to receive treatment, and Black youth suicide rates have doubled since 2007. Psychologists are doctoral-level providers who specialize in evidence-based therapy (CBT, DBT, EMDR), psychological testing, and neuropsychological evaluation. They do not prescribe medication. If you need meds, they partner with a psychiatrist or PCP.
