If you’re a clinician or trainee looking for a practice that takes clinical training seriously, is deeply committed to serving underserved communities, and will actually invest in your development, Kind Mind might be where you belong.
Kind Mind Psychology is a Black-owned virtual therapy practice founded by Dr. Monica Johnson, PsyD, on a mission to reduce healthcare disparities in both access and quality of care. We serve clients across New York, New Jersey, North Carolina, and 40+ PSYPACT states, with deep expertise in BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and alternative lifestyle communities. We also serve everyone else. Our team is trained to treat anyone who walks through the door, and our specializations make us better clinicians for all clients, not just the communities we center.
You’ll be trained by clinicians with real depth. Dr. Johnson directly supervises every clinician at the practice. She co-authored Addressing Race-Based Stress in Therapy with Black Clients (Routledge), hosts the ADHD & podcast through Understood.org, is an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist, and holds IFS Level 2 certification. She has been in practice for over 15 years across outpatient, inpatient, and forensic settings. Her work has been featured in The New York Times, NPR, British Vogue, Self, and the Associated Press. This is who’s shaping your clinical development.
You’ll learn a wide range of modalities. Kind Mind clinicians are trained in CBT, DBT, EMDR, IFS, Radically Open DBT (RO-DBT), Prolonged Exposure (PE), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Schema Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing, and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy. We don’t just talk about these modalities. We train you in them, supervise you using them, and expect you to integrate them into your clinical work. By the time you leave Kind Mind, you will have hands-on competence in multiple evidence-based approaches.
You’ll work with a diverse, complex caseload. Our clients range from ages 12 through end of life. You’ll see individuals, couples (including LGBTQ+, interracial, polyamorous, and ENM partnerships), families, and groups. You’ll treat anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, trauma and complex PTSD, dissociative identity disorder, personality disorders, and emotional dysregulation. You won’t be bored, and you won’t be underprepared when you move on.
You’ll be part of a team that actually functions like one. Weekly individual and group supervision. A diverse clinical team across race, gender, sexuality, and lived experience. Ongoing professional development. A culture of accountability, feedback, and mutual support. We take care of each other so we can take care of our clients.
You’ll contribute to a practice that’s growing and visible. Kind Mind has a 76K-follower Instagram community, a podcast reaching a national audience, published clinical research, and media features in major outlets. You’ll be part of a practice that’s contributing to the field, not just filling appointment slots.
Kind Mind Psychology is firmly committed to deconstructing institutional racism, white supremacy, and other oppressive systems across every level of our practice. We recognize all forms of diversity that lead to oppression in our society, including ethnicity, race, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, class, size, citizenship status, religion, and ability.
In our clinical work, we seek to understand dynamics of power, privilege, and oppression that have shaped our clients’ identities, lived experiences, and mental health. Our clinicians engage in ongoing personal and professional development to increase awareness of bias and provide culturally responsive, affirming services. We believe that ethical clinical practice requires continuous self-reflection, a willingness to confront bias, and a commitment to lifelong learning.
We especially welcome applicants who are BIPOC, queer, trans, nonbinary, kinky, polyamorous, disabled, neurodivergent, immigrants, and/or first-generation professionals. Your lived experience is an asset here, not something you have to leave at the door.
