In times of uncertainty and upheaval, finding a space where you feel safe, valued, and understood can be a vital part of maintaining your mental health. The current world often feels dangerous and fraught with challenges to fundamental values like equality, dignity, and respect. Marginalized communities, in particular, face heightened threats to their well-being and safety, making it more critical than ever to affirm principles of inclusivity, acceptance, and compassion. Given the current political climate, where basic rights and identities are increasingly under attack, we want our values to be crystal clear: this is a space where every individual is honored, respected, and supported.
At our holistic psychotherapy practice, we are committed to fostering such a space—one that is rooted in compassion, inclusivity, and a deep respect for your unique identity and experiences. We strive to uphold the following core values in every aspect of our work:
Anti-Oppressive Principles
We are dedicated to promoting anti-oppressive principles in everything we do. This means actively challenging systemic barriers and biases that perpetuate inequality and discrimination. We are committed to ongoing learning, accountability, and advocacy to ensure that our practice remains a safe haven for people of all backgrounds. Here, you can explore your thoughts and emotions without fear of judgment, knowing that your dignity and worth are recognized and celebrated.
Gender and Identity: Inclusive and Affirming
Your identity is integral to who you are, and we honor that. We embrace a fundamental belief that every individual deserves to feel seen, valued, and respected for their unique identity and lived experiences. Whether you are exploring your gender, navigating societal pressures, or seeking support for the complexities of identity, we are here to walk alongside you with empathy and understanding.
Sex and Kink: Positive and Nonjudgmental
Sexuality is a natural and important part of life, yet it is often shrouded in stigma and shame. Our practice offers a nonjudgmental, affirming space where you can openly discuss your sexual preferences, identities, and desires. Whether you are exploring kink, polyamory, or other nontraditional expressions of intimacy, we are here to listen, support, and help you cultivate a healthy and fulfilling relationship with your sexuality.
Size-Inclusive
Body diversity is a fact of life, and we are committed to creating a space that affirms and respects individuals of all body sizes. We reject weight-related stigma and focus instead on promoting well-being, self-compassion, and body acceptance. You deserve to feel at home in your own skin, and we are here to support you on that journey.
A Holistic Approach to Healing
Our practice integrates a holistic perspective that considers the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit. We draw on a range of therapeutic modalities, including mindfulness, somatic work, and relational therapy, to help you achieve greater self-awareness and balance. By addressing the whole person, we aim to empower you to lead a more authentic and fulfilling life.
In the Wake of Current Events
We understand that current events can amplify feelings of stress, anxiety, and fear, particularly for marginalized communities. Our commitment to providing a safe and inclusive space remains unwavering, especially during challenging times. Here, your experiences and emotions will be met with compassion and care.
At our practice, you are not just a client; you are a valued individual with a unique story to tell. We are here to support you in navigating life’s complexities, healing from past wounds, and embracing your authentic self. Together, we can work toward a future where you feel empowered, resilient, and whole.
