Our Commitment to Our Communities
For far too long, people of colour have been underrepresented in the mental health space, both as providers of psychotherapy services and seekers of those services.Our lived experiences and observations led us to understand that one of the most fundamental areas of change needed in our field is for better representation of its professionals. We want people, no matter their journey or their identity, to feel seen and heard as they navigate their healing.
