Therapy provided at Embodied Empowerment, PLLC is guided by the following principles:

Intersectionality

Recognition that your mental health may be greatly impacted by the way you have been perceived or treated within your body and relationships. Therapy creates a safe space to explore the way that issues such as power, privilege, oppression, and abuse are intertwined with your identity, beliefs, and worldview.

Choice and Autonomy

You have the right to make decisions about your own body and relationships. Therapy is used as a space to empower you to make educated, informed choices that promote your autonomy.

Inclusivity

This practice is a place where all bodies, identities, and relationships are welcome. Therapy creates a safe, judgement free space where you can authentically connect with all parts of yourself and your relationships.

Social Justice

The idea that each individual has the right to be treated dignity and respect, to be seen and heard, and to live authentically without fear. Therapy allows for exploration of experiences that create barriers to safety and equality, helping you to build tools for self-advocacy and growth.

Cultural Humility

Recognition that YOU are the expert of your own experiences and acknowledgement that you will enter the therapeutic relationship with your own values, beliefs, identities, and worldview. The job of your therapist is to create space for your journey of self-reflection and growth, while acknowledging their own biases and worldviews. Therapy is viewed as a space of mutual learning and collaboration.
