Social justice doesn’t stop at the therapy room.

This weekend I was at Take Back Tech 3 — a space where organizers and communities are challenging the harms of Big Tech.
We talked about surveillance, data, environmental impact, and power.

But not enough about mental health.

AI is not neutral.
It reflects systems that already impact our communities—and it’s already showing up in our work.
From how we document
To how we think clinically
To how safe our clients feel

Especially for BIPOC, immigrant, and undocumented communities.

This isn’t about rejecting AI.
I use it too.

But we have a responsibility to stay informed, critical, and ethical.
So I’ll ask again—
Can you be a social justice therapist and ignore AI?

You can be smiling in photos, showing up, laughing… and still be going through a depressive episode.
Both things can be true.

This is your reminder that healing isn’t linear. You’re allowed to have hard moments without it taking away from how far you’ve come.
Be gentle with yourself 🤍

Many of our clients are struggling to self-regulate.
Some are living in ongoing fear, uncertainty, and crisis.
And as clinicians, we’re not just holding individual trauma—
we’re holding the impact of systems, policies, and lived realities that shape how trauma shows up in the body.
This training is an invitation to deepen how we show up in that work.
In this 3-CE clinical training, we’ll explore how to apply EMDR through the AIP lens when working with immigrant and undocumented clients navigating complex trauma.
We’ll move beyond theory and into real clinical application—centering the realities our communities are living in right now.
In this training, you’ll learn how to:
✔ Conceptualize immigration-related trauma through the AIP model
✔ Identify maladaptive memory networks across migration experiences
✔ Strengthen preparation and stabilization strategies
✔ Apply EMDR in complex, real-world clinical contexts

🗓 Friday, June 5, 2026
⏰ 10:00 AM – 1:15 PM (Live via Zoom)
🎓 3 EMDRIA Credits Approved ( #25025-02)

This work matters.
And how we show up in it matters even more.

At Insight Family Counseling & Wellness Services, our stance is grounded in ethics—not politics.
Recent decisions by the Supreme Court of the United States may shape legal conversations across the country, including in California. But legal shifts do not change our responsibility as clinicians.

We do not support therapeutic practices that attempt to change or suppress a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity.

As mental health professionals—across disciplines—we are guided by shared ethical principles:
✨ Do no harm
✨ Respect dignity and autonomy
✨ Provide culturally responsive, affirming care

This is not about controlling individual choices.
This is about protecting clients from harm and upholding ethical, evidence-based care.
Legal does not always mean ethical. And our commitment is clear.

To our community—
You deserve care that honors who you are. 🤍

We’ll move beyond theory and into practice—centering real experiences, clinical insight, and grounded application.

🗓 Friday, June 5, 2026

💰 Early Bird: $85 (until May 12)

Final days to vote for NASW-CA President-Elect.

I’ve been clear about who I stand with — immigrant, undocumented, LGBTQ+, and BIPOC communities, and the clinicians doing this work every day.
This experience is already a win for me.
It created space for real conversations, deeper connections, and honest dialogue about the challenges we face — not just in our communities, but within our profession.
I lead with accountability, collaboration, and advocacy — grounded in action, not just words.

🗳️ Voting closes March 28

“They say therapists are supposed to have a poker face… but what about when your client drops a slur mid-session? 🤯”

Me trying to channel my inner Buddha: 🧘🏽‍♀️
My actual face: 👀😳😬

Sometimes the real therapeutic skill is not letting your eyebrows do the talking.
