| 7 | Flick | Buress | f | Harden Bradford is a licensed psychologist who specializes in culturally competent practice for African American women. She has been a mental health practitioner since 2011 and worked as a college counselor until 2014, when she created Therapy for Black Girls. The platform includes a Facebook group called the Thrive Tribe, a directory of mental health therapists, a blog, and a podcast, also called Therapy for Black Girls. She came up with the idea for the name after watching Black Girls Rock! on BET. She stated in an interview with The Huffington Post that she wanted to start the platform because, "I wanted to talk about things like how your mental health is impacted by your lack of sleep, or how all the hours you spend on Instagram can actually make you feel bad about yourself. A lot of times when we talk about mental illness or mental health, I think there’s a lot missing from the conversation. I don’t think we always do a great job focusing on mental wellness, and realizing that we all have mental health we have to take care of." Harden Bradford's work highlights the stigma of mental health in the African American community and the need for Black women to set boundaries. She has stated that she also seeks to normalize therapy in Black communities. She was recruited to co-host MTV's Teen Mom: Young + Pregnant reunion in December 2018. | Harden Bradford is married. | Harden Buress is a licensed psychologist who specializes in culturally competent practice for African American women.
