Episode 36 continues our conversation with Detroit's very own #communitycounselor Patrece M. Lucas, MS, LPC.
Patrece specializes in providing culturally specific counseling and creating safe healing spaces for African, Black, and other indigenous and BIPOC communities. She has committed her life's work to advocating for communities of color to not only survive but to dismantle broken systems and create new ones that are inherent on supporting and uplifting the communities capacity to thrive.
As a licensed Mental Health Counselor Patrece serves as a community counselor in Detroit and its surrounding communities. She is in private practice as a counselor, wellness partner and mediator at her agency called indigo transitions.
In Episode 36, we learn more about Community Counselor Patrece Lucas's approach to mental health services and the origins of her program "Coffee with a Counselor." At the root of her motivation is to destigmatize mental health service and access for the Black community. She understood that in order to get more Black people engaged with a mental health professional she would first have to demystify the idea of 'going to therapy.'
