Dr. Charmain Jackman on Owning Your Voice in Mental Health & Media

What happens when a therapist turns brand strategist—and builds a movement in the process?

In the latest episode of the Brandinc PR Podcast, Brandi Sims sits down with Dr. Charmain Jackman, award-winning psychologist, TEDx speaker, and founder of InnoPsych, for a candid convo on all things mental health, media visibility, and mission-driven branding.

Fresh off the release of her debut book, The Black Therapist’s Guide to Private Practice and Entrepreneurship, Dr. Jackman shares how she pivoted from high school psychologist to full-time CEO, securing partnerships with national brands like Charlamagne tha God’s Mental Wealth Alliance, AdCouncil, and PBS along the way.

From building her signature Branding Your V.O.I.C.E. framework to managing the pressures of platform-building while staying authentic, Dr. Jackman brings clarity, courage, and culture to the mic.

🎧 In this episode, we cover:

• How to build a brand that amplifies your mission—not dilutes it

• The media moves that helped grow InnoPsych into a national force

• Advice for therapists, coaches, and wellness leaders afraid to “go public”
