Who we serve
Our clients experience various layers of privilege and oppression based on their intersection of identities.
The clients who seek us out are generally looking for a therapist that understands: The lived experience of being oppressed by one's race, gender, sexuality, culture, neuro-divergence, immigration status, mental or physical disability, body type, and economic situation.
