A Healing Journey for Black Women in DFW

What is Bloom Back?

Bloom Back is more than therapy — it’s a sisterhood. The Lotus Club, in partnership with BetterHelp, created this program to remind Black women that you don’t have to carry the weight of layoffs, workplace trauma, or exhaustion by yourself.

For six months, you’ll receive free one-on-one virtual therapy and walk alongside a small group of sisters in a guided cohort.

Together, we’ll create space to breathe, process, and bloom back stronger.

 FAQs

  • No. You will receive private, one-on-one therapy through BetterHelp. The Lotus Club provides support through wellness check-ins and resources, not therapy facilitation.

  • In 2025 alone, over 107,000 Black women faced the heartbreak of losing their jobs. With rising costs, the weight of seasonal depression, and a slowdown in hiring, it can feel overwhelming. Bloom Back exists—to remind you that you don’t have to navigate this journey alone. We believe healing should be a right for everyone, not a privilege. Together, we can support each other and find brighter days ahead.
