"Our ancestors knew that healing comes in cycles and circles. One generation carries the pain so that the next can live & heal.”
— Gemma B. Benton
Our Approach
In an effort to decolonize mental healthcare, we utilize a non-pathologizing approach to therapy, which means that we fully recognize and view all symptoms, defenses, and emotions as having an underlying positive intent, even if their actions or effects appear counterproductive or dysfunctional.
