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.

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.

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.

Franklin Co (he/him)

Professional Counselor Associate

In my practice, I use a relational and systemic lens to understand my clients’ problems. The relationships and cultures we occupy are significant factors that I consider as we explore your concerns and collaborate on solutions. My approach aims to neutralize imbalances in power between me and my clients based on our identities, which are integral to our experiences in life and inform the values we hold. I will work toward understanding the world as you see and live in it.
