During these chaotic and unpredictable times, it is natural to be experiencing difficulties. Fun, joy, connection, and community are difficult to access and impact wellbeing. We specialize in treating symptoms of anxiety and depression and multicultural issues. We avoid labeling diagnoses (decolonizing when possible) and work to treat you holistically. We work on communication, focusing, frustration tolerance strategies through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with an anti-oppressive lens.
We work from an anti-racist, culturally aware, immigrant informed, biracial understanding framework. It is important to have a mental health practitioner who is aware of these issues and biases, and we will help you work through issues of oppression, micro(macro)aggressions, and identity struggles.
You will spend time focusing on yourself and your needs. With us, you will try new ways to manage your anxieties, disruptive thoughts, and negative patterns.
We tend to work with clients who are in hostile work environments, struggling with identity, immigration issues, relationship struggles, and more.
