What to know about Black Therapy (LMFT) care in Richmond
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs) are master's-level clinicians trained specifically in systemic therapy, treating the relationship as the "patient," not just the individuals. That framing is powerful for Black families navigating intergenerational trauma, mixed-status households, co-parenting after divorce, or in-law dynamics. Research in Journal of Marital and Family Therapy (2018) found culturally matched LMFTs improved couples-therapy outcomes for Black clients by 30 percent.
