Cultural Congruence

Piiq Space

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC

Our therapists are culturally sensitive and recognize the impact of culture on each client’s identity and experiences. We create a respectful, inclusive space where clients feel seen and heard. By acknowledging cultural values, traditions, and challenges, our therapists tailor their approach to support each individual’s background, promoting deeper understanding and meaningful, personalized care.

Cultural congruence means therapy that honors your identities, lived experience, and the communities you come from. I work to create a space where you don’t have to explain or shrink parts of yourself to be understood. In this space, we’ll explore how culture, family, racism, migration, faith, gender, and other systems shape your stress and resilience, and support you in moving toward what feels authentic and liberating for you.

Rebel Heart Therapy (Group Practice) (SHE/HER, THEY/THEM, HE/HIM)

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC, LMFT, LCSW

Our clinicians are trained in anti-oppressive, culturally responsive care and bring lived experience from the communities we serve. We consider the client’s intersecting identities, cultural background, and relationship to systemic oppression in every aspect of our work. These topics are core to our case consultations and supervision culture, and this lens shapes how we show up in the therapy room.

I’ve had the opportunity to work with diverse populations in Brazil through private practice, volunteer work, and externships. I am committed to continuously expanding my knowledge and becoming increasingly culturally aware and responsive. I strive to support and honor each client’s lived experiences, identities, and cultural backgrounds as essential parts of the therapeutic process.

Exploring how a person’s cultural background, values, and lived experiences shape their identity, beliefs, and mental health. It helps individuals to build self understanding and resilience by integrating cultural strengths.

Trish Nicholson (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

Board-certified (NCC), PMH-C

I practice cultural congruence by shaping therapy around each client’s values, worldview, communication style, family context, community, and not expecting them to adapt to a dominant model of healing. I consider how culture, identity, spirituality, relationships, and lived experience influence distress and resilience. My goal is to offer care that feels respectful, relevant, and aligned with who you are.
