Healing is not a destination.
It is a practice, and this is where that work lives.
Village of Sound Mind is a healing ecosystem rooted in liberation, cultural care, and collective wellness. Whether you're an individual on a journey, an organization ready to go deeper, or a community looking for a place to land?
You belong here.
Philicia Ross, LCSW-C (She/Her)
Soul-cial Worker and Professional Space Holder
I'm Philicia Ross, LCSW-C — a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, speaker, facilitator, and community builder dedicated to making healing accessible, liberatory, and real.
For over a decade, I've held space for individuals, organizations, and communities navigating trauma, identity, and the weight of systems that were never built with us in mind. Through Village of Sound Mind, I create experiences — workshops, trainings, community gatherings, digital learning, and more — that meet folx where they are and move them toward alignment, authenticity, and freedom.
This isn't just a practice. It's a village.

What’s Happening in the Village
-
Held: A Chronic Illness Processing Group
A six-week processing and educational group for Black women and women of color living with chronic illness or chronic pain. A small, virtual space to talk about the grief, exhaustion, boundaries, and everyday realities of living in a body that often gets misunderstood.
-
The Grove Community Membership
A year-round membership community for reflection, connection, and the work we’re not meant to do alone. You can find guided practices, weekly prompts, monthly Holding Space circles, meaningful conversation, and resources you can return to at your own pace.
-
September Holding Space
This September, we’re sitting with the pain you shouldn’t have to prove—the pain that gets questioned, minimized, or explained away, and what it takes to keep trusting your own experience anyway. Join us Sunday, September 27th, from 1–2:30 PM ET for this month’s conversation.
