The particular weight of navigating the world in a racialized body belongs in the room. You deserve care that doesn't ask you to shrink any part of that.
Race isn't a side note in mental health. For Black, Indigenous, and People of Color, the stress of living in a racialized world has real effects on wellbeing. Therapy should account for that.
Many BIPOC clients have experienced therapy where their racial identity was politely set aside, or where they had to explain basic realities about their lives before any real work could begin. This isn't that.
Your racial and cultural identity is part of our work from the start. You won't have to justify your experiences or translate your context.
Racial trauma and its cumulative impact. The exhaustion of code-switching in spaces that weren't designed with you in mind. Microaggressions and the drain of figuring out how to respond. Racial grief. The complexity of working and living in predominantly white environments.
Racial identity development and what it means to define your identity on your own terms. How race intersects with gender, sexuality, class, and other parts of who you are. You don't have to leave any of this outside the door.
Our work will be shaped by your specific experience. Your community, your history, your way of moving through the world: all of it has a place here.
