Every part of yourself not only matters, It is the core of who you are.
We not only understand It, as therapists we experience it and believe our healing spaces should center it.
Your Trauma may be why you struggle to trust yourself, here is how we help!

We name It for what It is: Identity Based Trauma
Identity-based trauma happens when your lived experiences or identities lead to ongoing harm or discrimination. This trauma can deeply affect how you see yourself and your sense of belonging, making it hard to trust your own feelings, choices, and instincts. Often, it’s not a single event, but a repeated experience that you may have had to “carry silently” while appearing okay.

Our Core Approach
Our Core Approach
All parts of you matter: Every aspect of your identity is not only welcome, It is essential to healing.
Multiple paths to healing: We use a blend of therapeutic techniques tailored to your needs, instead of one rigid approach.
Cultural wisdom matters: We combine what you bring from your culture and experience with therapy strategies to create sustainable, authentic change.
Healing starts with being able to hold space for who you are—and knowing your therapy space holds that space for you.
