2007 marked the inception of African-American Couples Therapy Pittsburgh (AACTP), a platform born out of a recognized need for culturally competent mental health resources within the African-American community. Our journey began with a vision to provide accessible, evidence-based therapy and support to couples facing various challenges. Over the years, AACTP has grown from a modest local resource into a comprehensive news website dedicated to advancing the understanding of therapeutic practices among African-American couples in Pittsburgh and beyond.
Our core mission is to bridge the gap in mental health information and services for African-American couples, offering a blend of expert insights, practical advice, and stories that resonate with our readers’ experiences. We are guided by a set of core values: integrity, inclusivity, empathy, and innovation. These principles shape every aspect of our content and interactions with our audience.
The founding story of AACTP is rooted in the observation of an information void on the internet regarding African-American couples’ therapy. Recognizing this gap, we set out to create a platform that would fill it, ensuring that the information shared was not only accurate but also tailored to the unique experiences and needs of African-American couples. Our commitment to unbiased information is upheld through rigorous fact-checking, drawing from credible sources, and consulting with licensed therapists who specialize in couple’s therapy within the African-American community.
Our target audience includes African-American couples seeking therapeutic guidance, mental health professionals looking for resources, and individuals interested in the intersection of culture, relationships, and therapy. We serve our audience by providing a wealth of information, including articles, interviews, and research findings that are relevant to their lives and concerns. Readers can engage with us by commenting on articles, sharing their experiences, and offering feedback through our interactive platforms.
The team behind AACTP comprises dedicated professionals from various backgrounds who bring their expertise to ensure the site’s success. Our team includes:
- Dr. Lena Wright, a seasoned therapist with over 15 years of experience in couple’s therapy and a specialist in African-American mental health.
- Marcus Jenkins, our lead content strategist, who brings a wealth of knowledge on cultural dynamics within relationships.
- Alex Johnson, a skilled web developer whose technical expertise ensures our site’s user-friendly interface.
- Shanice Robinson, our community outreach coordinator, who works tirelessly to connect with and support our readers.
Our business model is centered around providing high-quality content that is accessible to all. We generate revenue through a combination of advertising, sponsored content, and partnerships with local and national organizations committed to mental health and relationship wellness. Our services are delivered through our website, where we regularly update with fresh content, and through our network of therapists who offer their expertise and support to those in need.
