Counseling for Liberation

Roots itself in the idea that humans are inherently good, intelligent, creative, loving, and powerful; that we are capable of complex thinking and collaborative organization and care; and that oppression has no place in our societies

Acknowledges the reality that many humans are disregarded, excluded, exploited, and abused and that our struggles span beyond individual and family problems

Intentionally attends to our unique social, cultural, and economic experiences and personal strengths as they relate to identity, societal norms, inequality, and injustice 

Advocates that with attention and care, each of us can heal from our hurts, cultivate deep relationships and love for life, and lead significant changes in the world
