Dr. Dionne Mahaffey, a mental health expert behind the AI therapy platform Behavioral Health Notes, is leveraging her platform to promote group therapy sessions in response to the resurgence of racial tensions under another Donald Trump administration.
On Feb. 6, Mahaffey announced on Facebook the launch of her “psychoeducation groups” aimed at helping the Black community prioritize mental health collectively. Through six group types, participants will have a supportive space to discuss key issues affecting their well-being.
“Individual therapy is powerful, but there’s something uniquely healing about common support,” she wrote.
The group sessions participants will be able to attend include:
“In this critical moment, group support provides a space to be seen, heard, and affirmed,” Mahaffey wrote. These sessions aren’t just about venting— they’re about healing, learning, and building resilience in a way that individual therapy can’t always provide.”
She also invites other therapists and wellness experts to join her in co-leading the sessions that are covered by insurance carriers in Alabama or Georgia, and only $35 for out-of-pocket patients. Those interested can visit Roots to the Branch Wellness for more information.
