BIPOC Inclusive & Affirming Therapy Services
Statement on Service
BIPOC
We acknowledge that we are white-bodied women who do not have the lived experience of being a person of color. If you would prefer to work with someone who shares your identity we can help you to find a therapist who meets that criteria.
We offer culturally sensitive and affirming therapeutic services for individuals who identify within the BIPOC community. We actively engage in anti-racist practices. We recognize that culture and race impact how a person interacts with the world. Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) communities have experienced historical trauma, and continue to be impacted by systems designed to remove power. Daily microaggressions as well as larger instances of racial violence can be felt in the body, mind and spirit. We offer individual and family therapy in an inclusive and supportive environment where you can work to heal from your experience and learn new ways to cope and function.
The beauty of anti-racism is that you don’t have to pretend to be free of racism to be an anti-racist. Anti-racism is the commitment to fight racism wherever you find it, including in yourself. And it’s the only way forward.

LGBTQIA+ Affirming Inclusive Services
Statement on Service
LGBTQIA+
We offer affirming and inclusive therapeutic services for individuals who identify within the LGBTQIA+ community. We agree to utilize preferred names and pronouns, and to step in as your advocate when needed. Our approach to therapy embraces a positive view of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex and Asexual (LGBTQIA+) identities and relationships. We work to address the negative influences that homophobia, transphobia, and heterosexism have on the lives of LGBTQIA+ clients. We acknowledge that each person has a unique story related to personal discovery and disclosure of their sexual orientation and/or gender identity. We can provide individual or family therapy, this includes chosen family or biological family. We are here to support you. At your pace, in your time.
