Previously in this book, Berry has made the argument that Western systems of “professional helping” are structurally and philosophically inadequate to the needs of the population in general, and people of color in particular, and has presented Indigenous African-centered approaches to healing as an alternative. In this chapter, Berry explores what this looks like in practice for practitioners operating in a Western institutional context. Using the concept of synergy (Katz, Indigenous healing psychology. Honoring the wisdom of the First Peoples, 2017) and the strands of synergy (Cornish and Berry, Synergy: The healing energy guiding Stepped Care 2.0., 2025), Berry outlines an approach to healing that emphasizes agency, truth and reconciliation, empathy, growth-orientation, flexibility, and interconnectedness. Berry argues that these tools can provide “professional helpers” with a framework in which they can apply the insights of an Indigenous African-centered approach to healing and mental health care within the context of bureaucratic Western structures. Berry notes that while she herself comes from an African Diasporic background, Indigenous African-centered thinking is not exclusively applicable to those of African descent, but can be of value to clients and practitioners of many different backgrounds.
