Significant challenges like stigma and disparities prevent African Americans from entering counseling. Additionally, discrimination and racism might exacerbate anxieties around help-seeking. However, openly expressing their stories of racism and oppression in counseling increases the therapeutic alliance and creates a safe space for healing and trust. We introduce a critical race theoretical approach to support counselors as they navigate difficult conversations about race. Counseling implications are provided to increase the opportunity for dialogue about racism
