We examine how both your personal history (exposure to chronic stress; presence of diagnoses, etc.), combined with structural trauma/racism and experiences of oppression have impacted who you are, your overall development and current level of functioning. We combine education, historical perspective taking, and center both cultural and therapeutic practices to support growth, change and improved quality of life.
