At Psychology for Black Girls, we believe every Black girl deserves to feel seen, heard, and supported. We know that navigating school, family, and life’s challenges can feel overwhelming-especially when cultural understanding is missing.
That’s why we created a nationwide platform connecting Black girls and their families with culturally responsive psychologists and wellness providers. Our providers look beyond labels to understand each girl’s story, uncover strengths, and connect families with real support.
Together, we’re closing the gap in mental health and education, building a future where Black girls everywhere have the tools and confidence to thrive.

You’ll be connected with a culturally responsive professional who truly understands the unique experiences of Black girls and women.
Receive a tailored psychological assessment. We’ll guide you toward the right tools, resources, and follow-up care for long-term support.
Think of it as a “mental health and learning check-up.”
