Joseph White, a pioneering mental health counselor, was instrumental in transforming psychology to be more inclusive and culturally relevant, particularly for African Americans. Born in 1932, he championed culturally sensitive mental health care and was a key figure in founding Black Psychology. His advocacy for diversity and focus on community strengths reshaped the mental health landscape, making care more accessible. White's work continues to inspire counselors and psychologists in promoting culturally competent practices today.
