We explore the mission and approach of MA Therapy with founder Amira Martin, whose practice focuses on providing bias-free psychotherapy to women of color while also mentoring therapists to establish their own practices.
• Amira's personal journey overcoming limited representation in professional fields through her sister's encouragement: "Don't stop yourself, let other people stop you"
• How MA Therapy serves diverse clients while maintaining a focus on BIPOC women and the LGBTQIA+ community
• Common mental health challenges seen across socioeconomic backgrounds, including anxiety, trauma, PTSD, and ADHD
• Research-backed strategies for finding happiness through community connection, belonging, and giving back
• Three-part approach to managing anxiety in challenging times: connecting with supportive community, establishing daily routines, and taking manageable action
• The importance of viewing current challenges through a historical lens and practicing consistent self-care
• How mental health needs have evolved, particularly since COVID-19 and through recent political climate changes
