Political Climate

Day Adams (he/him)

Marriage and Family Therapist Associate

This historical moment is a scary one for many people. I believe we take care of us and that therapy can play an influential role in how we orient and respond to what is happening. As a leftist and someone who has been involved in a variety of leftist organizing and political projects, I feel strongly about how personal and political struggles are interwoven and how acting collectively with others has a powerful influence on our own sense of agency and hope for a better future.

Workers of the world unite! Here in the US we have been conditioned to believe ruling class propaganda that keeps us separate as members of the working class; this breeds hopelessness and contributes to freeze in our own individual lives. If you are looking to thaw and mobilize to create a world you want to live in, we will be a good fit. I apply the theory of the working class to help my clients find their footing in a confusing world.

Do you feel free to live out your values, your wants, your deepest heartfelt desires? Do you struggle to reconcile your identity, your status, or lack of opportunities with the life you actually dream of living? Many of us feel the constraints of living in the 2020s with the existential and practical toll this can have on our day to day lives. I strive to be a provider who uses my position to empower others, to advocate when systems do not serve us, and to better heal our community.

Understanding that personal health exists within capitalism's broader social relations, I help clients navigate the alienation and exploitation inherent in our current healthcare system. I explicitly acknowledge how profit motives shape access to care while supporting client advocacy and mutual aid organizing. My practice incorporates class consciousness and collective solidarity while working toward the revolutionary transformation of healthcare from a commodity to a human right.

You're a high-achieving leader who values staying connected to what's happening in the world. You understand that your position at work comes with responsibility. But lately, that responsibility feels like it's suffocating you. What if you could honor both your values AND log off and enjoy the rest of your day? Join my somatic+parts work therapy group designed specifically for introspective, self-aware BIPOC professionals feeling overwhelmed by current events and the constant stream of news.

If the current political climate has left you feeling anxious, disheartened, or grief-stricken, you’re not alone. I offer a supportive space to process these feelings, including experiences of collective or political grief. Drawing from my experience leading political grief art therapy process groups, I use creative expression, reflection, and dialogue to help you explore your emotions, restore a sense of agency, and find grounding amidst uncertainty.

Jesse Johnson LPC (he/him)

Licensed Professional Counselor

Be ready to hold up the mirror of politics to yourself. I'm getting underneath the conditioning of red, blue, left, right, and all the other divisive binaries. No matter your affiliation or perspective, I'm not here to affirm your righteous indignation or enable your confirmation bias. I work with folks who are ready to go beyond the social conditioning and echo chambers and into their own truth, in service of a more life-giving world.

Jennifer Jim, LPC (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

MS.Ed, LPC

Because I’ve spent many years helping people manage all kinds of anxiety (worry, overwhelm, racing thoughts) I understand how stress shows up in the body and mind. Political anxiety taps into the same patterns I see every day: feeling tense, overthinking, doom-scrolling, or carrying fear about things we can’t control. My experience helps me lead the Political Anxiety Support Group. I know how to teach simple, practical tools that help people feel calmer and think more clearly.

In this current era, many people are experiencing the stress that comes along with existential uncertainty, locally, nationally, and ecologically. My existential-humanist background recognizes approaches these concerns without pathologizing or oversimplifying. Instead, I help you determine what approach is right for you, as well as providing tools to manage and work with uncomfortable emotions we inevitably face when considering our human predicament.
