y/Our Therapists
Who we are
We are a non-hierarchical worker-cooperative (i.e., worker collective) made up of social workers, creative arts therapists and psychologists.
All major decisions are made through consensus, and each of us earns the same hourly wage. We view this way of working together as a form of praxis: “Through engaging in such activity workers not only transform themselves but also develop new social relations.
They form bonds of mutual support and solidarity with fellow workers while they transform the social conditions under which they live” (Baker, 2019).
What we do
Our approach is informed by anticapitalist, anti-authoritarian values. We believe that mental health is inherently political, and that so-called "apolitical" or "neutral" mental health practice upholds the status quo.
We view systemic oppression as the cause of most mental health problems, and we strive to intentionally disrupt the psychiatric, medical and holistic health industrial complexes with anti-oppressive, decolonial and harm reduction models of care in our work.

Therapeutic Style
liberation psychology - intersectionality - compassionate care
My therapeutic style centers y/our testimonio/s (y/our story) to increase critical consciousness (self-awareness in a socio-political context) with somatic, relational and ecological alignment.
Vital to the work we’ll do together is understanding how socio-cultural-political structures impact y/our holistic health.
I use emotional attunement, experiential processing, and somatic experiencing in radical psychotherapy to reclaim your whole-istic health.
