As people who care deeply about justice and liberation, it makes sense that we feel overwhelmed at times by pain, grief, anger or anxiety about the state of the world.

Traditional mental health approaches often feel out-of-touch at best (violent at worst), pathologizing our grief and centering treatment frameworks created by the same systems harming our communities.

Here & Now Counseling was created to be an anti-oppressive force in mental health, giving folx with marginalized identities a safe and affirming space to heal and grow in our full humanity.

Sometimes this means processing everyday thoughts, feelings, experiences, and relationships while raising consciousness about and increasing our agency within the systems that govern our lives. Other times we might take a more directed approach, employing specific tools to address mental health challenges such as depression, anxiety, or trauma.

Therapy will be a collaborative and culturally-responsive journey to understand your world and your goals and build skills to unlock your innate ability to heal, grow and thrive.
