Dr. LaNail R. Plummer’s The Essential Guide for Counseling Black Women provides clinicians with the foundational information on the types of experiences that cause many Black women to seek therapy as well as ways to support them on their therapeutic journey. Topics such as nontraditional lifestyles, work ethic and legacy, understanding friendships, embracing newfound freedoms and opportunities, moving beyond stereotypes and so much more are explored through a culturally informed lens. Additionally, therapist tips, catalyst questions, and journaling prompts help clinicians and clients work together to further explore themselves and ultimately improve mental health.
