We’ll explore how to find the right therapist, unpack the difference between mental health and mental illness, and explore ways you can strengthen your mental health and support your loved ones’ mental health journeys. We'll also do light mobility and yoga throughout. Bring a mat, journal, and water! If you don't have a mat, that's ok! We'll be on the grass.
Facilitated by mental health professionals Glitch King (MHC-LP) Bryce Henderson (LCSW) and yoga instructor Eric Mosley.

**About the Facilitators:**
**Bryce Henderson** is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over a decade of experience in integrative community mental health. His work is grounded in a strengths-based, solution-oriented approach that helps clients build on their existing resilience while developing practical strategies for growth and healing.
In his current clinical practice, Bryce primarily works with PhD students, graduate trainees, and other high-achieving professionals navigating stress, burnout, impostor syndrome, perfectionism, ADHD, and the unique demands of academic and professional life.
Bryce's work is informed by a deep commitment to expanding access to innovative, culturally affirming mental health care. His long-term vision is to establish an equine-centered healing space where Black and Brown LGBTQIA+ communities can experience the restorative power, joy, and freedom that experiential therapies can offer. Outside of his clinical work, Bryce volunteers at horse stables throughout New Jersey, continuing to deepen his relationship with horses and the transformative potential of human-animal connection.
**Glitch King**, MHC-LP, is an award-winning artist and mental health counselor specializing in identity development and support, trauma, relationships, and self-actualization. He's passionate about serving Black and Brown communities, LGBTQIA+ individuals, public figures, creatives, and people with vision disabilities through an affirming, culturally responsive approach grounded in curiosity, collaboration, and authenticity.
Before entering the mental health field, Glitch built a decade-plus career in fashion design and styling, earning an A.A.S. in Menswear Design, Cum Laude, from the [Fashion Institute of Technology](https://www.fitnyc.edu/) (2007). He later earned a B.A. in Psychology of Race, Gender, and Sexuality, Cum Laude, through the [CUNY BA](https://cunyba.cuny.edu/) and an M.A. in Mental Health Counseling, Summa Cum Laude, from [NYU Steinhardt](https://steinhardt.nyu.edu/) (2022).
Glitch uses an integrative approach in his practice, drawing primarily from Narrative Therapy and informed by William E. Cross Jr.'s [Nigrescence Model](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigrescence), Glitch helps clients develop greater insight, agency, and self-trust as they navigate identity, masculinity, gender, sexuality, religious trauma, boundary setting, and life's transitions. He’s currently practicing through [Joy Mental Fitness](https://www.joymental.com/) and is accepting new virtual clients in NY, NJ, MA & CT. Additionally, he is working with [blackmenheal.org](http://blackmenheal.org) as a provider.
**Eric Mosley** is a Yoga Alliance registered yoga and meditation teacher, educator, and diversity & inclusion consultant on a mission to decolonize the western wellness experience and encourage all people, particularly people of color, to bring their most authentic selves to their mats. With a background in education and school leadership spanning over 10 years, he launched Black Mat Yoga to address identity based inequities in wellness spaces.
By using current events, curated playlists, physical asana, and meditation, Black Mat Yoga specializes in creating conditions in which practitioners feel safe and connected on their mats. Since launching, Eric has worked with yogis of all ages in studios, private lessons, schools and corporate settings.
Eric integrates the nuances of his identity and his experiences as an educational leader in his offerings. His passion for social-emotional learning, data-driven instruction, and the intersections of race, gender and sexuality, allows Eric to "make it make sense" making yoga accessible to newer and seasoned yogis.
Eric is a Morehouse College graduate, received his Masters in Teaching from Relay Graduate School of Education, and completed his 200 hour teacher training at Three Sisters Yoga in New York City.
