Clinical Supervision & Training

Building the Next Generation of Culturally Affirming Perinatal Mental Health Professionals

At the Black Girls Mental Health Collective (BGMHC), clinical supervision is more than a licensure requirement—it's an intentional, healing-centered process to help emerging clinicians grow in confidence, skill, and purpose.

Our supervision program is led by Breea Wainwright, LMFT, an expert in infant mental health and perinatal psychotherapy. Breea’s approach blends clinical excellence with real-world, culturally grounded wisdom—because our clients deserve care that is both evidence-based and deeply human.

What Clinical Supervision at BGMHC Looks Like

Two people exchanging an item, likely urban, with one person handing over a book or notebook to another person who is writing or signing with a pen.
A woman with long braided hair and a striped white shirt smiling and gesturing with her hands during a conversation with a woman taking notes in a notebook in a bright, modern room.
A young woman with curly hair, wearing a white blouse and checkered pants, sitting on stairs outside, holding a book and a pencil, looking thoughtful.
A woman sitting with eyes closed, appearing distressed, with two other women comforting her by placing hands on her shoulders and arm.
A woman in business attire smiling confidently with hands in her pockets outside in an urban environment.
Three women having a discussion in a bright, modern office space, sitting on comfortable chairs near large windows.

We create a safe, collaborative space where associate therapists can build skill, explore identity, and become powerful agents of healing for Black women and birthing people.
