BIPOC
THERAPY FOR Black, Indigenous, + People of Color IN NEW YORK CITY
“Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.”
– Audre Lorde
GET SUPPORT
you deserve to be affirmed and respected
Like many facets of society, the field of mental health and wellness has disproportionately underrepresented those who are Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC)
To feel supported, Black, Indigenous, and People of Color should be able to meet with a therapist who makes it their priority to understand how racial identity impacts how one experiences the world. And while not every facet of one’s racial identity and experience can be easily articulated, Black, Indigenous, and People of Color should have the freedom to be themselves.
Therapy can help individuals navigate the stressors disproportionately experienced by Black, Indigenous, and People of Color. These may include:
- Discrimination
- Covert and overt racism such as verbal threats or physical violence
- Fear of retaliation
- Emotional labor
- Re-traumatization manifesting in feelings of loneliness, fear, anger, depression, and anxiety
