What is the goal of racial identity counseling?

Understanding your racial identity can feel like putting together a puzzle with a lot of missing pieces. The goal of counseling isn’t to give you all the answers. It’s to help you find your own pieces and put them together in a way that feels authentic to you. We work together to help you explore your unique experience, process any feelings of trauma or discrimination, and find a sense of self-worth that is not defined by others. We believe you have the power to create your own story.

How can a person process racial trauma?

Racial trauma is a serious issue that can have a significant impact on your mental health. It can feel like your body is carrying the weight of a history that is not your own. Counseling provides a safe space for you to process the past, understand how it is impacting your present, and find a sense of healing. We'll help you rebuild your life on a foundation that feels authentic to you, so you can find a sense of peace.

Can a person from a different background really understand my struggle?

This is a very valid concern. It's like trying to explain the rules of a game to someone who has never played it. Our counselors are trained to be empathetic and supportive, regardless of their background. While we may not have the same lived experience, we can provide a safe space for you to explore your feelings without judgment. We believe in your capacity to heal, and we're here to help you get there.

How does counseling help me with microaggressions?

Microaggressions can feel like a series of small paper cuts—they don't seem like a big deal on their own, but over time, they can add up and leave a scar. Counseling provides a space for you to process the pain of these subtle acts of racism. We'll help you understand your emotions, and we’ll give you a toolkit of strategies to manage your feelings and respond with confidence. We believe in your capacity to live a full life, and we are here to help you.
