A Culturally Responsive Existential-Phenomenological Approach for Counseling Black Sexual Minority Youth

Abstract

This article provides evidence to support developing interventions for addressing the mental health concerns of Black sexual minority youth. The authors identify how to incorporate a culturally responsive existential-phenomenological approach with storytelling to facilitate the development of a healthy self-concept among a host of socially enforced categories. Implications are provided to supplement counselors' conceptualization of this population within therapeutic relationships.
