Kin in Practice, a professional community for Black mental health providers.

We are a curated and peer-based professional listserv created specifically for Black mental health clinicians seeking meaningful connection, trusted referral exchange, shared resources, and sustainable community within the therapy field.

This space was created in response to a reality many clinicians quietly experience—doing deeply meaningful and emotionally demanding work in isolation. Kin in Practice exists to offer something different: a professional environment that feels supportive, grounded, collaborative, and genuinely useful to the clinicians within it.

Rooted in ethical collaboration and collective care, the community centers both on professional growth and human connection. And we recognizing that sustainable clinical work requires both.

Kin in Practice is designed to be a practical and relational professional space, where members can:

• Share and receive client referrals within a trusted network of Black clinicians

• Exchange clinical resources, tools, and professional opportunities

• Seek consultation, perspective, and shared insight from colleagues

• Reduce professional isolation through meaningful peer connection

• Strengthen sustainable and community-centered practice

Every aspect of the space is intentionally curated to maintain clinical integrity and cultural resonance for members.

Kin in Practice is open to:

• Black mental health clinicians licensed to practice anywhere in the United States

• Graduate-level trainees in mental health fields who are currently in internship or have completed internship requirements

Maintaining this focused community is essential to preserving the purpose, safety, and relational depth the space was created to support.

Too many Black clinicians are navigating complex clinical work, systemic strain, and private practice growth without consistent professional community.

Kin in Practice was built to change that—
to create a space where collaboration replaces isolation,
where referrals circulate within community,
and where clinicians feel professionally supported, not just individually responsible.

This is not simply a mailing list.
It is an investment in collective sustainability, ethical care, and shared professional future.
