We're talking real about therapy, generational trauma, and why Black folks are finally starting to show up for their mental health.
On this episode of The Virginia 64 Show, I sit down with Tesa "T" Herd, LCSW — founder of Black Couch Therapy in Newport News, VA — for an unscripted, organic conversation about the biggest lies we believe about therapy, why Black men especially avoid it, generational trauma we don't talk about, grief, divorce, fatherhood without a blueprint, and how social media is quietly wrecking our mental health and our relationships.
T also does a live "freestyle therapy" roleplay breaking down real scenarios in real time — this is not your typical sit-down interview.
