Summary
In this episode, Patrick Casale talks with Marvin Toliver, LCSW, TEDx speaker, and founder of Dear Black Man, You Good?, about the realities of mental health work, decolonizing therapy, and building healing communities outside of traditional systems. 3 Key Takeaways: Reclaim Your Accomplishments: As Marvin emphasized, marginalized clinicians are often taught to shrink themselves—owning your achievements creates space for others to see what’s possible. Therapist Sustainability is Essential: The mental health field can leave therapists depleted, and viewing burnout as a sign of systemic issues—rather than personal failure—is so important. Therapy shouldn’t cost you your well-being. Healing Goes Beyond the Office: Community-centered approaches and peer-led spaces (like Marvin’s men’s groups and the Train the Trainer Academy) acknowledge that powerful healing can happen outside of conventional therapy rooms. More about Marvin: Marvin (he/they) is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), speaker, and movement worker based in Philadelphia with over ten years of experience in mental health, community healing, and group facilitation. He is the owner of Reimagine Culture, LLC and founder of the nonprofit Dear Black Man, You Good?, where he advances decolonized and community-centered approaches to care. Marvin is a TEDx speaker and was featured as a cycle breaker in The Color of Care, a documentary produced by Oprah Winfrey. His work is grounded in reimagining mental healthcare beyond systems rooted in white supremacy.
