Therapy for Black, Indigenous, + People of Color
You deserve to be affirmed and respected.
Like many facets of society, the field of mental health and wellness has disproportionately underrepresented those who are Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC).
It’s important to have a therapist that understands and reflects your identity because we can understand and sometimes share some of your lived experiences. Your experiences are unique to you, but having a therapist who shares aspects of your identity can create a deeper trust and understanding that’s incredibly important in creating a trusting relationship.
As much as being a person of color does not encompass all of you, there are cultural aspects that have certainly made an impact on your development and who you are today.

As a black, indigenous, or person of color (BIPOC), you may have had an experience with a therapist that left you feeling misunderstood and even more marginalized.
Finding the support you need as a black, indigenous, or person of color can be a challenge. We understand and we share some of those experiences with you.
Meeting with a therapist of color can help decrease some of the anxiety that comes with sharing so much of your life with a therapist. This allows you to really open up and identify the changes you want to make in your life in a safe space.
