Orenda + NYMCHA Continuing Education Workshop: Beyond the Mask: Supporting High-Achieving Women of Color in Therapy

High-achieving women of color often present as successful, competent, and resilient, yet many struggle with underlying trauma, perfectionism, and the weight of societal and cultural expectations. Traditional therapy models may overlook the nuances of their experiences, leading to misattunement and ineffective interventions.

This workshop will provide clinicians with trauma-informed, culturally responsive strategies to better support high-functioning women of color in therapy. Participants will explore the intersection of identity, success, and mental health, learning how to create spaces where these clients feel truly seen, valued, and supported in their healing journey.
