Benita here. I don't know about you, but it's been a tough few weeks and months. Actually, let's be real, it's been a hard few years. Watching the downfall of capitalism, corporatism, and western imperialism has been a wild ride. Entering the Pandemicene era feels so scary. And if I'm honest, there have been so many moments where I've lost my ability to see through the bigness of these polycrisis in front of us and actually have hope for a future. With climate change and geopolitical events, sometimes it feels like the more I know, the more I despair. And I don't think despair is a very generative place to hang out, so I've had to find ways to tap into hope. This is one of my favourite quotes from one of my favourite shows. And it challenges me in the best way.

If you've been feeling overwhelmed and exhausted and like your usual coping tools aren't cutting it, you're not alone. Times like these require us to find spaces where we can process at a deeper level, heal the anxiety and despair and stuckness that may be presenting itself from protector parts, and connect with our core self and internal resourcing in crucial ways so we can recalibrate in order to survive what has been and what's coming. Things are about to get a lot harder before they get easier. So gather your community and do all of that. But also find yourself a therapist who offers modalities for deeper processing, like Brainspotting. And start healing from the past, building your resilience, and growing your capacity for meeting the challenges before us with grit and resolve and a revolutionary mindset.

What do we mean by "inclusive" therapy?

Varied Identities

We come to this work marginalized in various ways--race, gender, ability, neurotype, sexuality, etc. And these identities show up in our work.

Informed Practice

We will make an effort to learn about your identities and understand how they impact your experiences and perspective.

We Come As We Are

We bring our whole selves to this work. We use our marginalized identities to inform our clinical practice by centering justice, equity, empathy, and relationality.

Historical Perspective

We know that the mental health and social work fields have been weaponized against vulnerable groups in the past, and we work hard to avoid reproducing that violence in our practice.

What do we mean by "abolitionist" therapy?

Critical lens - We approach therapy with the knowledge that macro-level social and political injustices contribute to our mental health.

Re-imagining justice systems - We acknowledge the problematic origins of policing and the “justice system” and advocate for anti-carceral approaches instead.

Re-imagining care systems - Avoiding harmful systems leaves room to create new and better ways of caring for each other (mutual aid, pod-mapping, care teams, etc.).

No mental policing - We don’t use approaches that seek to police or stifle your feelings and thoughts. As many abolitionists say, “k*** the cop in your head.”

What do we mean by "anti-carceral" therapy?

Divestment from carceral systems - We do not believe in the power of any type of carceral system for rehabilitating people or solving world problems.

No involuntary treatment - We do not conduct or engage in any form of treatment without your clear and explicit consent. You can say "no" without being labeled "resistant".

No pathologizing neurodivergence - We do not support harmful narratives that view people as “deviant” or “crazy” for having a diagnosis or being neurodivergent

No punitive measures - We center methods of achieving justice that engage in restorative and transformative work instead of punishment.

Forensic psychotherapy addresses the cognitive, emotional, social, and relational factors that drive offending behaviours. It is a generative, psychodynamic process organized around six stages of progress:

Stage 1: Acceptance and Taking Responsibility
Stage 2: Insight and Understanding
Stage 3: Victim Empathy and Perspective-Taking
Stage 4: Accountability and Relapse Prevention
Stage 5: Integration and Meaning-Making
Stage 6: Maintenance and Risk Management
