Ebony Butler, PhD is a Licensed Psychologist and Food Relationship Strategist who has made it her mission to help women of color heal and thrive in the areas of trauma, including racial trauma and recovering from trauma experienced through diet culture. Dr. Ebony works alongside women to help them develop skills that increase their relationships with others, themselves, and their bodies. Aligning with her passion to break through barriers that make it difficult for Black people and other people of color to access quality mental health care, Dr. Ebony created My Therapy Cards®, the first-everself-exploration card deck for Black women and other women of color. Since its launch in May 2020, Dr. Ebony has expanded the card deck to include a Teen Edition and Men's Edition. Most recently, My Therapy Cards® - Men’s Edition! The expansion of this resource has made self-insight and discovery work more accessible and affordable!
When clients come to us for support with emotional and mental health concerns stemming from issues with their health, body size, weight, and/or relationship with food, how are you approaching the work? Is your framework unbiased and inclusive? As mental health clinicians, it is important for us to do our work to understand the inherent fatphobia and biases that exist within frameworks aimed at addressing issues related to health, body size, weight, and food behaviors. in this talk, we will discuss how addressing our own biases can inform more inclusive mental health care.
