Climate Aware Therapy

Climate-aware therapists provide a non-judgmental space for clients to express their concerns about the state of the world and work through the complex emotions associated with climate change. They aim to help individuals process their feelings, build a sense of connection, and address complex emotions related to the climate.

This can help you:

  • feelings of eco-anxiety and climate distress

  • grief and loss related to climate change

  • uncertainty and helplessness

  • resilience building

  • action and empowerment

  • relationship to nature

  • existential concerns

Trauma-Informed Care

In order to provide the most effective approach to therapy, we must consider and acknowledge an individual's life experiences and collaborate on a consent-driven approach to care. As a trauma-informed therapist, I value and prioritize your safety, autonomy, and come from a stance of curiosity rather than expertise of your lived experience.

This can help you:

  • build safety, trust and rapport

  • create empowerment

  • develop healthy coping skills

  • identify triggers

  • promote collaboration

  • improve overall care experience

Intersectional Feminism

At its core, this approach values the importance of respectful and equitable treatment of all individuals regardless of their gender identity, sexual orientation, race, class, religion, and ability. This is particularly important in therapy as individuals are impacted. 

This can help you:

  • understand inclusivity and systemic barriers to health

  • address root causes

  • enhance problem-solving

  • build solidarity

  • promote self-reflection

  • advance equality
