Building a Decolonized Practice

A liberation-focused workshop for MSW students and licensed clinicians ready to reimagine how they practice.

This workshop explores what decolonized practice looks like in real-world social work and therapy settings. Philicia shares practical insights from building a culturally rooted, liberation-focused practice, including how to navigate systems while maintaining integrity.

About Your Facilitator

I’m Philicia Ross, LCSW-C, founder of Village of Sound Mind. As a licensed therapist and community wellness practitioner, my work centers Black women and people of color navigating trauma, chronic illness, and mental health challenges. I create spaces where authenticity, compassion, and community can thrive outside of grind culture.

"Great space to learn and grow as well as validate what many intuitively know to be truth. Community, listening to and hearing each other without judgements or pretense is so refreshing!"

STEP INTO YOUR ARC
"Holding space allows me to connect with other Black women, knowing we’re in this together. It’s also a great way to take time out of our busy schedules to reflect and share with others what’s on our minds and souls. I’m so happy I’ve found this space and look forward to joining more sessions."

No, live attendance isn’t required—you’ll receive full replay access.
However, you’ll get the most out of the experience by joining live, where most of the real-time conversations and community connections happen.
Yes! Drop-in for $55/class or save with the bundle.
No — this is a community wellness workshop series. While I’m a licensed therapist, this space is healing-centered and educational, not clinical therapy.
Just yourself, a pen/journal, and your workbook (provided).
