Trauma-Informed Therapy

Anti-Racism

Thrive and Feel is devoted to delivering culturally compassionate, trauma-informed psychotherapy. Many of the clients who come to Thrive & Feel for serivces have faced firsthand systemic oppression, racial trauma, marginalization, and chronic othering. Thrive and Feel will continue to strive to create a space and generate resources that allow clients to feel understood as they process experiences of invalidation and othering.

We work under the assumption that historical, societal, cultural, and oppressive forces have led to significant pain in the lives of many marganlizied individuals, especially BIPOC folxs. This pain is an environmental response, not an interent flaw. Thrive and Feel recognizes that these oppressive systems contribute to ongoing and intergenerational trauma, and our therapeutic approach aims to recontextualize these symptoms and promote collective healing.

Recognizing that the mental health field has often perpetuated racial inequality and been part of the problem, Thrive and Feel is committed to acknowledging the flaws of the system and attempting to do better by:

• Providing lower cost or free services and resources to marganizlied identities

• Fostering continuous learning to understand power dynamics, privilege, biases, and unlearning racism,

• Encourage discussions about racial and intergenerational trauma, and white supremacy,

• Promote activism and advocate for inclusivity in mental health resources,

• Explore avenues for equitable access to therapy,

Our fight against racism and oppression is ongoing, and we will continually strive to create inclusive structures and increase accessibility for marginalized folks.
