Recapping our episode with Dr. James Norris, a licensed mental health counselor who incorporates Hip Hop music and culture into his practice, including a Hip Hop counselor certificate program and a new initiative titled Rhythms of Healing.

Dr. Norris has been in private practice since 2018, where he discovered that most of the traditional counseling approaches lacked the cultural nuance and relevance to connect with communities of color. This has inspired him to pursue and develop a framework specifically designed for effectively working with marginalized groups through Hip Hop and creativity. His primary research interests are in Hip Hop, creativity, and counseling theories. Dr. Norris has published and presented on the integration Hip Hop in Counselor Education for BIPOC identified-males, Hip- Hop and Counseling practice, multicultural cultural issues in counseling.
