As therapists who work with people from various backgrounds, we recognize the importance of acknowledging and embracing the ways in which different aspects of a person's identity intersect and influence their overall health and happiness. We approach our work with an understanding of the impact of trauma and strive to create an atmosphere that respects and validates individual identities while combating oppressive systems.

Our commitment to growth and healing extends far beyond the walls of our therapy rooms. We proudly embrace a social justice orientation that acknowledges the intersectionality of human experience and seeks to dismantle the barriers that hinder individuals from accessing their full potential. We believe that social and systemic inequalities profoundly impact mental health and well-being, and we are dedicated to addressing these challenges head-on.

By fostering a compassionate and non-judgmental environment, we aim to empower our clients to embrace their authentic selves, free from the weight of societal pressures and prejudices. We are here to help you navigate any struggles you might face, from personal identity exploration to managing the effects of discrimination, microaggressions, and bigotry. We actively work to challenge harmful narratives, dismantle oppressive structures, and promote social justice, both within and outside of the therapy room.

Above all, we believe that all human beings deserve love, acceptance, and equal treatment, regardless of their race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, or expression. We are committed to walking this journey with you, creating a world that celebrates and affirms the beauty of diversity in all its forms.

NELA Therapy proudly stands against racism and discrimination in all its forms. We are committed to providing a safe, inclusive, and affirming space for individuals from the LGBTQIA+ community. We firmly believe that every person deserves respect, understanding, and support in their journey towards personal growth and healing.
