We really liked Dr. Paul Guillory for our teenage son. http://paulguilloryphd.com/
Check Dr Frank Davis

He is just outstanding! He helped my son thru all his teenage years and still is a great resource.
Here is one therapist: https://www.drvernitamarsh.com
And a directory of therapists: https://therapyforblackmen.org
The biracial son of a close friend has been seeing Dr. Ryan Adams in Berkeley. 510-766-0112. I think his office is on Telegraph Avenue, a few blocks from Ashby.
https://www.beam.community has a Black Virtual Wellness Directory (https://wellness.beam.community - it's nationwide) where you can search for a therapist as well as some useful tools that may help in the meantime: https://www.beam.community/tool-kits-education They are very active on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/_beamorg/ and other social media where they host a lot of talks.
I have a very high opinion of Kaela Farrise.

Jessica Lang in the East Bay though she has been doing mostly online (Especially since covid) https://jessicalangtherapy.com
She is Black and specializes in trauma of all sorts.
