Ep40: Dr. Chalice Rhodes- The Importance of Professional Counseling
Join us on this week’s Black Doctors Talk Podcast which features our guest, Dr. Chalice Rhodes. Dr. Rhodes speaks to us on the topic of the importance of professional counseling services, self-care, and mental wellness. Dr. Rhodes is a licensed and board-certified Professional Counselor since 2008. In 2020, she became a Board Certified – TeleMental Health Provider and provides virtual video professional counseling services in Florida, Georgia, and New Jersey. In her private practice, Dr. Rhodes focuses on helping adults, couples, families, and groups.
During the podcast, Dr. Rhodes shares how the COVID-19 pandemic propelled her into her dream of starting her own practice. Her decision to leap into entrepreneurship by starting a TeleMental Health practice came after several years of experience working in the field and academia. Dr. Rhodes has a passion for helping others which lead her into counseling. From an early age, she knew that she wanted to help people. Dr. Rhodes recalled an experience from her childhood in which an individual who was experiencing trauma reached out to her asking for guidance and assistance. She knew then that she was destined to live a life in service to others. Dr. Rhodes also addresses the stigma in the Black community that is associated with receiving counseling services. She believes that the services
provided by licensed professional counselors, like herself, are crucial to
individual’s mental health and wellbeing, even if it only for a season in their life such as divorce. Lastly, Dr. Rhodes challenged the myth of the “Strong Black Women.” She indicated, that yes, Black women are strong, but it should not be at the expense of their overall health and wellbeing. Women need to nurture themselves and not let their wells run dry depleting themselves in sacrifice to others.
Dr. Rhodes earned a Doctor of Philosophy degree in Human Services – Counseling Studies from Capella University in 2008. She earned her Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Argosy University in Atlanta, GA in 2003. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her sons. She also enjoys gardening, exercising, singing, and dancing.
