As comes to a close, I wanted to share this wonderful story for those that have felt “othered” by the color of their skin, accent, and/or family of origin.

Many of the ideas in this very sweet book made me think a lot on my childhood, growing up with immigrant parents. Born and raised in the heart of the US, in Kansas City, I would, and still do at times, get asked “where are you from” and be very confused as I was from “here.” They didn’t like that answer and persist until I talked about “there,” which I had very limited knowledge of my families home and lives in the Philippines.

This story was beautifully written and illustrated by two women of color, and even as an adult made my heart swell as I read it!

What does “Maarte Therapi**ed” mean?

🎨 The word ‘maarte’ is Tagalog (the language of the Philippines) for, historically, “artistic, artful, artsy” and is now used colloquially in a way to describe someone as “dramatic, pretentious.”

🧠 Essentially, I am an LPC, art therapist, creator, and, naturally as a hooman bean, get pi**ed at just about anything. Occupational hazard with working in today’s social climate. Also, S/O to a wonderful friend and colleague for the ‘Therapi**ed’ idea. (You know who you are, I hope.)

🎨 As a clinician, I want to support clients to cultivate individuality, autonomy, and creativity.

🧠 Therapy is a privilege, not a crutch. My role is not to tell you what to do or to validate your choices of lacking empathy or consideration for others; rather, I take it upon myself to reflect your experiences back so you can begin and/or continue holding yourself accountable.

🎨 Occasionally, I will post some of my own personal art. Many of my creations are self-reflections of my experiences as a q***r, Filipinx-American, and living in a very broken system/society.

🧠 This platform is not to replace any mental or physical health treatments.

TL;DR: Mabuhay (welcome), I am happy you’re here!

Mahal (love), Leah

Before I do some proper introductions, just wanted to let everyone know how fulfilling it is taking time to decompress after getting home from a long weekend. Find time for you, show up for yourself, and fill your cup. 🪴🌱😌
