You are looking to better understand how your intersecting identities (racial, gender, sexuality, etc) & oppressive systems (racism, patriarchy, capitalism, etc) impact your daily lived experiences.

The most important thing in a therapeutic relationship is the match. Everyone wants to find a therapist who 'gets' them.

We all make choices that may not make sense to our friends and family. Therapy is useful for helping us to understand the reasoning behind the decisions we've made, and for facilitating change in our lives.
