Culturally Responsive Therapy
for BIPOC Clients in Florida

Online therapy with Black therapists who understand your lived experience

You’ve spent years moving through workplaces, families, and communities where you’re expected to adjust, stay quiet, or explain yourself over and over.

You don’t need another space where you have to explain your experiences just to be believed.

At True You Always, you can meet with BIPOC therapists providing culturally responsive online therapy for people of color across Florida. You can use your sessions to talk about what is really happening—racism, microaggressions, code-switching, cultural and family pressures—without having to educate your therapist first.

Are you barely making it
through your day? We get it.

Many of our BIPOC clients come to therapy after years of:

Being the only one (or one of a few) in work or social spaces and feeling watched or evaluated.
Hearing “jokes,” comments, or questions about their background that land like a slap, even if everyone else laughs it off.
Having concerns dismissed as “overreacting,” “too sensitive,” or “playing the race card.”
Feeling pressure to “represent” their whole community and fearing one mistake will confirm a stereotype.
Changing how they talk, dress, or show up in different spaces to feel safe or accepted.
Holding in anger or frustration because they know it might be read as “aggressive” or “unprofessional.”

You might not naturally describe your experience as “trauma” or “anxiety.” Instead, you might say you’re tired, irritable, checked out, or constantly on edge.

But the daily stress of racism, microaggressions, and cultural pressure wears you down—one small moment at a time.

This kind of racial stress and burnout can show up as poor sleep, headaches, irritability, or feeling detached—like you are just going through the motions.

If that sounds familiar, it might be time to connect with a therapist who understands the mental and emotional impact of moving through the world as a person of color.

Small, hurtful moments don’t just fade away

A Therapist can Help in Three Key Ways

Name what’s happening so you stop blaming yourself.

Teach you how to calm your body when it’s stuck in fight-or-flight.

Practice what to say, what boundaries to set, and how to recover faster, so work doesn’t follow you home.

Therapy With True You Always in Florida

Therapy isn’t about fixing you. It’s about giving you a consistent space to be fully yourself, talk plainly about what you’re dealing with, and make concrete changes in how you move through your life.

Together, you and your therapist might:

Make sense of your reactions so you stop wondering, “Am I crazy, or was that actually messed up?”
Name patterns like people-pleasing, perfectionism, or shutting down—and trace how they developed in response to racism, family expectations, or survival in certain spaces.
Practice ways to say “no,” push back, or set limits without feeling like you’ve done something wrong.
Work on communication skills for tough conversations with partners, family, coworkers, or friends.
Learn strategies to calm your body when you’re on edge and to recover more quickly after hard days.

The goal isn’t to “rise above it” or pretend racism doesn’t affect you. The goal is to give you more options, more clarity, and more control over how you respond, instead of feeling stuck in the same draining cycles.

You’ll be working with a Black BIPOC therapist who already understands the impact of racism, microaggressions, and racial stress on your mental health as a person of color in Florida, so you do not have to justify how it felt.

Why Working With a BIPOC Therapist Can Make a Big Difference

Why Working With a BIPOC Therapist Can Make a Big Difference

When your therapist is also from a marginalized racial or ethnic group, certain things don’t need long explanations. A therapist who gets what you’re going through can help you regulate your responses, protect your energy, and set strong boundaries.

BIPOC therapy helps you find real relief — less anxiety, better sleep, more confidence, and a calmer, stronger attitude.

There’s often a shared understanding about:

The unspoken rules of navigating predominantly white institutions.
The pressure to be twice as good and half as visible.
The complicated mix of pride, obligation, and strain in many families and communities of color.
The way racism and inequality shape everyday decisions about work, safety, and relationships.

At True You Always, you’ll work with BIPOC clinicians who already recognize these realities. That doesn’t mean your therapist has lived your exact story—no one has—but you’re not starting from zero every session.

You can spend your time on what matters most to you: your healing, your relationships, and building a life that feels more livable and true to who you are.

You deserve this kind of support.

What You’ll Work On In Sessions

We build your sessions around what you need, not a script. Most people find it helpful to focus on things like:

Setting boundaries: Saying no without lengthy explanations, deciding what you’ll tolerate, and protecting your time and energy.
Managing burnout and stress: Noticing early signs you’re near your limit and building small, realistic changes into your week so you’re not constantly running on fumes.
Handling anger and frustration: Finding ways to express what you feel without it being used against you, and understanding what that anger is pointing to.
Navigating relationships: Talking through tension in interracial relationships, cultural differences with partners or friends, and expectations from family or community.
Trusting your own perception: Standing by what you saw and felt, even when others try to minimize it or change the story.
Working through painful experiences: Gently processing moments of discrimination, threat, or harm so they don’t keep replaying in your mind and body.

You don’t have to tackle everything at once; you and your therapist will decide where to start and what feels manageable right now.

What To Expect
From Your First Session

What To Expect
From Your First Session

Starting therapy can feel risky, especially if you’ve had past experiences where you weren’t understood or were brushed off. Knowing what will happen can make it less intimidating.

Our BIPOC therapists currently offer telehealth sessions to clients located in Florida. In your first telehealth session:

You’ll talk about what has been hardest lately—at work, at home, or in your head. You decide how much you share.
Your therapist will ask some questions to understand your history, current stress, and what support you’ve had (or not had) so far.
You’ll discuss what you’d like to be different over the next few months—for example, sleeping better, feeling less on edge at work, or speaking up without so much fear.
Together, you’ll sketch a simple plan for the next few sessions so you know what you’re working toward.

You deserve a therapist who feels like a good fit, especially when you’re looking for a BIPOC therapist who understands your experiences as a person of color in Florida.

Finally, a Place to Talk Plainly
About What’s Really Going on In Your Life

You’ve been getting through difficult days for a long time—handling microaggressions, pushing yourself at work, taking care of other people, and trying to convince yourself it’s “not that bad.” Since you are reading this, something in you already knows that the way things are right now is not working.

Therapy won’t erase racism or suddenly make every space safe. It can, however, give you a consistent place where you don’t have to perform, minimize, or explain yourself, and where your experiences are taken seriously from the start.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if therapy is right for me?

If you’re feeling stressed, stuck, or like you’re carrying more than you can manage on your own, therapy can help. It’s normal to wonder if it’s “bad enough” for therapy, which is why we offer a free 15‑minute chat so you can ask questions and see how it feels with no pressure either way.

What happens after I request an appointment?

Once you reach out, we’ll schedule a complimentary 15‑minute consultation with one of our BIPOC therapists in Florida. You’ll talk briefly about what’s going on, hear about their approach, and decide together whether it feels like a good fit before you commit to a full session.

Who will I be meeting with? Are they relatable to my experience?

Feeling understood matters, especially if you’ve had to explain racism or microaggressions to helpers in the past. You’ll be meeting with a BIPOC therapist who has experience working with BIPOC clients and understands the impact of racism, culture, and identity on your day‑to‑day life.

What concerns or issues can I talk about in therapy?

Anything that’s weighing on you. That might include work stress, anxiety, family dynamics, identity, relationships, burnout, or how racism and microaggressions are affecting you. This is your space to talk about what matters most to you without having to downplay or explain it away.

Will my information and experiences be kept confidential?

Yes. Your sessions are private and confidential within the limits of the law. Your therapist will review confidentiality with you in your first session, so you know exactly how your information is protected.

How can I pay for services? Do you offer financial support or a sliding scale?

We accept many insurance plans and also offer a sliding scale for clients paying out of pocket. During your consultation, we’ll go over your options, check benefits when possible, and talk transparently about fees so there are no surprises.

What is the difference between talking to a therapist and talking to friends or family?

Friends and family can be a great support, but they may have their own opinions, biases, or needs in the mix. A therapist is a neutral, trained professional whose only job in that hour is to focus on you—helping you untangle what’s going on, notice patterns, and make choices that work for you.

Can I do therapy sessions through telehealth?

Yes. Our BIPOC therapists offer secure, private video sessions to clients located in Florida. You’ll just need an internet connection and a relatively private space; we’ll send you a link before each session that you click to join.

What if I need to reschedule or cancel my appointment?

Life happens. If you need to cancel or reschedule, just let us know at least 24 hours in advance, and we’ll work with you to find a new time. Your therapist will review the full cancellation policy with you during your first session.

What if I’m not ready to start therapy right now?

It’s perfectly fine to take your time. You can book a no-pressure 15-minute consultation simply to ask your questions, or you can return to this page whenever you feel more prepared. We’ll be here when you’re ready to take the next step.
