As a psychotherapist, I am committed to the deep work of evaluating the self, paying attention to one's motivations and feelings, and of supporting what is right in the world. Therapy is a privilege as it is expensive. I believe that all people deserve therapy and the support of someone else to process their emotions and their pain. Within systemic racism, Black People have been systemically oppressed and have not had equal resources to afford certain privileges that white people may have.
I am committed to supporting People of Color in receiving the benefits of therapy. As well as offering a pro-bono spot, I will be donating the amount of a pro-bono time slot (4 sessions a month) to the Loveland Foundation, a foundation that fundraises to be able to provide free or low fee therapy to Peope of Color, focusing on Black Women and Children.
Below is an article that I've written as an attempt to understand systemic racism in the United States from a therapists perspective, as well as the beginning steps to shifting white privilege.
Working to Dismantle White Privilege and Racism Using Psychotherapy.
