Women of Color Therapy Group

Live life with greater ease & less pain while finding joy.

Our group provides a safe space for women of color to discuss and understand how being female and in a body of color has shaped us. It’s a space to process how we embody our experiences as women and being part of the BIPOC community. We navigate how belonging to multiple cultures/races has impacted our sense of self, how multigenerational trauma, systemic racism, oppression and micro aggressions have impacted us, and how we can mobilize and find our voices.

Goals – offering a safe, non-judgemental space for WOC to heal and explore the following:

To process and explore how WOC hold oppression, generational trauma, and systemic racism.
To process what does not get said during instances of aggression and how to create a new narrative around culture and identity.
To learn how to separate cultural and social expectations of WOC, and to find our voice and to land in a place where we can feel confident
To explore how microagressions, and other well-intentioned but harmful comments can have a lasting impact.
How to navigate a feeling of belonging to two (or multiple) cultures/two identities, and what it feels like to be witnessed (or unseen) and feeling alienated for not being a part of the dominant culture.
How WOC have been “trained” to appease to the dominant culture.

You Are a Badass: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life by Jen Sincero

A book recommendation from therapist Megan Kolecke LCPC This is your “get out of a rut free” card! It is an easy and inviting read to spark your brain into action. Jen’s spicy humor is a great tool to gain perspective regarding ourselves and our environment – how those perspectives often get twisted and how to challenge those negative thoughts. If there’s one takeaway from the book, it’s that the caliber of positive energy we send out is what we can expect to get back in return. Sit back and take in this fun read; Jen has been there, done that, and will take you through her learning process with some motivation and butt-kicking thrown in.

How COVID-19 May Be Impacting Depression and Anxiety in Your Teen

Adolescence is a plethora of changes, trials, and moments of growth. We are influenced by our peers, family, and social media, as we attempt to discover more about who we are, what we want, and what we will become. These questions are hard enough by themselves, but, as many teens are unfortunately discovering, their difficulty can increase ten-fold in the midst of a universal pandemic. Your teen was likely pulled out of public school in lieu of a quarantined, online classroom in late March. Everyday activities like going to the movies or hanging out with friends became dangerous, even lethal. A dependence on electronics became greater than ever seen before, as, for many still, the internet is their strongest tie to the social world.
