Seeking refuge in her bed, Ashley Glass found solace from her anxiety and depression, a struggle she endured since childhood. It wasn’t until she sought therapy that she realized its transformative power in her life.
However, finding the right therapist wasn’t easy. Like many others, Glass sought out a Black therapist, someone who understood her experiences intimately. But the scarcity of Black therapists in Ohio mirrored her struggle, reflecting a broader issue in the mental health landscape.
In response to this shortage, Glass founded Black Women Cultivating Change, a nonprofit dedicated to bridging gaps in mental health services, particularly for the Black community. Her organization aims to address the dearth of Black therapists, a sentiment echoed by many.
