For many of us, we seek to please in order to exist and survive the environments we are in. have to hold both cultures or lived experiences at the same time, and its hard work.

As therapists in Denver working with those balancing multiple cultures at the same time, we see how difficult it can be to be:

  • The person translating languages and emotions between those around you.

  • The person holding everything together, trying to keep everyone connected and aligned with one another.

  • The person who is continues to pivot in whatever direction others ask for.

What does It mean for me to support minoritized communities?

  • To be minoritized means that we are placed in the margins and oppressed based on our racial, gender, sexual orientation or the ways they intersect with one another. We fight to be and show up as our authentic selves.

    As a team that represents minoritized identities, we know how important It is to have space to be able to exhale. A space to be able to fully express how you feel without needing to educate those who will never understand.

    Being a therapist for our communities means that we can create a space for you to breathe, meaning that you can feel exactly as you need to because the load you carry as a minoritized person makes you resilient.

  • The many therapy interventions we learn about were not created with minoritized individuals with mind.

    Because of this, our cultural wealth, or the knowledge we gain from our cultures, are at the forefront of how I interact with clients, meet them where they are, and support them with their goals.

    For our owner who is a child of the Ghanaian community, she has learned that her culture is centered around welcoming all in with open arms, supporting those in need, and trusting the wisdom that you have been taught and experienced. Using this cultural wealth humanizes our work together.
