BIRACIAL (Black/White) THERAPISTS NEEDED FOR RESEARCH STUDY

[Anna Wheatley]

Hello! 

My name is Anna Wheatley and I am a doctoral student in Counseling Psychology at the University of Miami.  As part of my dissertation research, I am seeking Black-White biracial therapists/counselors to interview for a qualitative study concerning their experiences as therapists. 

To participate in this study, individuals must meet the following criteria: (1) be at least 18 years old; (2) speak English fluently and comfortably; (3) have one Black parent and one White parent; (4) self-identify as biracial; (5) have completed or be completing a Master’s or Doctoral degree in psychology, counseling or a closely related field; (6) have been practicing therapy for at least 2 years (which may include practicum experiences); and (7) have completed some portion of their education or professional training in the United States.

Eligible individuals will be expected to commit to an individual interview via Skype or Google Video Chat. Interviews will last approximately one hour.  As appreciation for participation, $30 gift cards will be provided to those who complete all requirements.  Participants’ names will not be included in analysis and final reporting.

If you meet the eligibility criteria, please call 786-759-0787 to complete your initial screening and schedule your interview. If you have any questions, please email a.whe...@umiami.edu. 

Thank you,
