LatinX Experiences

While Latinx people are not a monolith, there are some shared historical and cultural experiences that have impacted us for generations. The colonization of our people has shaped our history and impacted the way we relate to our culture and to each other. Immigration, religion, and capitalism influence our collective sense of safety and freedom and deeply disconnect us from our more indigenous and ancient sense of community and belonging. For generations, we have survived these systems and experiences in ways that we are beginning to understand as harmful to our spirits. So how do we navigate our deep love and connection to family and culture while also rejecting and healing the fucked up survival mechanisms we’ve all thought were normal for so long?

Our LatinX therapists understand that this is a very tender and complex process - to heal intergenerational trauma while staying in connection to family and culture. We understand how it may feel risky or even like betrayal to go to therapy and talk about your pain at the hands of your own family/culture. Our therapists hold so much compassion and understanding for your family while also allowing you space to feel your feelings. We believe that your healing process is actually in service not only of your liberation, but the liberation of your family, community, and the collective. 

So no matter how your pain manifests (anxiety, depression, isolation, loneliness, rejection, feeling misunderstood or disconnected, etc) working with a LatinX therapist who understands the roots of the trauma can help to heal the wounds and create a sense of self and belonging that you can feel proud of.
