This page lists Black Trauma Psychologists in Nakuru. 3 in all.
That is 3 of the 5 psychologists listed in Nakuru.
These are practitioners who identify as Black on their profile. It is their own answer to a profile question. We do not check it, and nothing here is ranked.
The request is usually narrower: a practitioner who will name race early, without you having to explain yourself. Some family therapy approaches recommend the therapist raise it near the start 1. You can ask a practitioner how they handle it.
What trauma therapy treats
Trauma therapy treats what stays behind after a frightening or overwhelming event. Trauma-focused cognitive behavioural therapy and EMDR are the recommended treatments 23.
World Health Organization guidance recommends both for post-traumatic stress disorder 4. Cognitive therapy and narrative exposure therapy are also used.
Treatment usually includes preparation, and work on the memory itself comes later. It is for people whose symptoms have persisted.
Not everyone who has been through something bad needs it. Ask a practitioner which approaches they are trained in.
What a psychologist does, and where assessment fits in
Everyone on this page is listed under the professional title psychologist. Psychologists apply the study of the mind and behaviour to assist people through difficulty. Clinical psychologists work with people of all ages, with families, carers, teams and communities.
Assessment belongs to a psychologist's training, and sits alongside therapy. Clinical, counselling and educational psychology are different training routes. Each route emphasises different work.
Which titles are registered varies by country. Where the title is registered, the register says what it covers. Ask a psychologist which route they trained through, and what they work with most.
What this page filters on
These are the only filters: the practitioner's stated Black identity, the specialism recorded as Trauma and the professional title psychologist.
The Nakuru page answers more questions about therapy there.
Who registers therapists in Kenya?
The title you will see is Psychologist. Search the register by name at Counsellors and Psychologists Board (CPB). A current entry is that body's own published record of the person.
A practitioner must hold that registration to practise legally in Kenya. See the Kenya page.
