Frequently asked questions
Our approach to therapy is eclectic, drawing from a diverse range of modalities to best meet your unique needs. Here's a brief explanation of key elements:
1. Trauma-Informed: We recognize the impact of trauma on mental health and prioritize creating a safe and supportive environment.
2. Culturally Sensitive: We respect and consider cultural backgrounds, ensuring therapy is inclusive and respectful of diverse identities.
3. Queer Affirmative: Our therapy is affirming and supportive of LGBTQ+ individuals, acknowledging their unique experiences and challenges.
4. Intersectional: An intersectional approach in therapy recognizes that individuals' experiences result from the complex interplay of multiple identities (e.g., race, gender, sexuality, etc.). It strives to understand, validate, and address the unique challenges and privileges arising from these intersections, promoting more inclusive and effective mental health support.
