Ever wondered how specializing in Black health and well-being could actually expand your reach as a therapist? In today's episode, I’m chatting with Dr. Raquel Martin, a licensed clinical psychologist who's built an impressive following while staying true to her specialty. She breaks down how she juggles being a professor, researcher, private practice therapist, podcast host, and content creator (all while raising two kids!) without burning out.
Dr. Raquel talks about her no-nonsense approach to social media - treating it as a business card rather than the main event - and why saying no is crucial to your success, how to set rates without guilt, and why having a solid referral network lets you confidently stay in your lane. Plus, she explains her innovative "Burn the Cape" program that helps Black women access mental health support without increasing her clinical caseload.
If you're tired of trying to be everything to everyone in your practice, Dr. Raquel's story will show you how focusing on what you truly care about can help you help more people.

"I specialize in Black health and wellbeing. Not BIPOC. Not People of Color, black health. And that's so rare. It's so rare that 5% of licensed psychologists in the US are black." - Dr. Raquel Martin
