Black Women's Mental Health Institute

The BWMHI is a national nonprofit offering free therapy and mental health services designed specifically for Black women. Their model prioritizes accessibility by removing cost barriers, and they center the specific mental health needs that Black women face in the US. Services include therapy, support groups, and educational resources.

This works best for Black women seeking free therapy from providers who understand your context without jumping through lengthy intake processes. It's a good option if mainstream therapy waiting lists or out-of-pocket costs have been barriers to getting care, or if you've had experiences with therapists who lacked cultural competency.
