Donation to Support Therapy for Folks from Marginalized Groups
|
In my practice I strive to provide a welcoming and sheltering hour where clients can be who they are, flourish, and be proud.
I recognize that I live and work on the rightful homelands of indigenous peoples. I recognize that a diversity of cultures and origins in the United States and locally strengthens us, and provides a far richer experience of life than any mono-culture ever could. I do not discriminate for race, religion or no religion, ethnicity, clothing, heritage, gender identification, queerness, sexual orientation, family background, culture, or language. I do, however, specialize in treating women and non-binary persons and do not treat men. Additionally, I only work with adults 21 and over. No group should ever be singled out or be made to feel unwelcome, much less threatened or excluded. I welcome you to show up in the full expression of yourself. In order to consciously invite diversity into my practice, I welcome people from presently and historically marginalized groups to apply for sliding scale/scholarship slots. As I am a small, solo practice, I cannot offer as many of these slots as I'd like to, and so I apologize in advance if you inquire and such a slot is full. However, I am currently working to fund an additional slot. If you are a person with relative wealth and privilege, I hope you'll consider donating to this scholarship fund by making a donation with the button above. Once the donated amount reaches $3500, which is the cost for a year of therapy, I will make public notice of this available slot. I vow to fight injustice. |
In order to consciously and continuously invite additional diversity into my practice, I welcome people from presently and historically marginalized groups to apply for sliding scale/scholarship slots. As I am a small, solo practice, I cannot offer as many of these slots as I'd like to, and so I am currently working to fund an additional one. If you have a little extra, I hope you'll consider donating to this scholarship fund. I love how Toko-pa Turner has framed our offerings to one another this way as "a way of practicing Belonging, and what you might call, a “feminine economy,” because it redistributes muchness into places where there is lack, so that nobody is left behind" (you may find Toko-pa here). Once the donated amount reaches $3500, which is the cost for a year of weekly therapy, I will make public notice of this available slot. If after six months it has not reached that level, I will apply the amount to an existing sliding scale or pro bono slot. It is my intention to give preference for these slots to folks from marginalized groups, such as people of color, those who identify as non-binary, non-cis, trans, queer, indigenous, recent immigrant, those from marginalized religious groups, and survivors of human trafficking. |
