Culinary Art Therapy for Black Psychotherapy I want to pursue a career in psychotherapy tailored for the black community since there's such a negative response to seeking help and very few therapists that can effectively work with black folks who do.

My idea is combining my current career in food and psychology and create a culinary art therapy program. Since food is our major outlet in expressing our culture, I wonder (and hope) if a session where instead of the traditional couch and chair setting, it's done in a kitchen where the patient is cooking/baking would carry less stigma. There's also the possible added bonus of having the patient open up more due to the distraction and the food being a segue into the meat of the issue.

Thoughts? Criticisms? Yay? Nay?
