Solidarity Counseling

Therapy & Psychoeducation

We are both honored and excited that you might allow us to explore what you'd most want for yourself and/or child. We cherish the invitation to safely and intentionally explore your internal and interpersonal world with curiosity

What We Offer

Counseling

No matter how off balance we feel, we possess intrinsic strengths. When we decouple ourselves from the internalized noise produced by toxic systems (e.g. misogyny, homophobia, white supremacy, classism, ableism, etc.) we can rediscover our helpful tools and use them as intended. We cherish the invitation into your space where we can both be curious about the internal world while feeling safe.

Our approach to therapy is shaped by an eclectic mix of modalities including NARM, Internal Family Systems, Psychodynamic perspectives, EMDR, play therapy, DBT, and somatic approaches. Individuals with a BIPOC background, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, first timers in therapy, and folks struggling with life transitions are particularly drawn to our work. We can also see clients as young as 4 years old.

Play Therapy

Children don't yet have the ability to articulate their needs, thoughts, and feelings into words as an adult would. Thus, play therapy is a way of being with a child that honors their unique developmental level and looks for ways of helping through the “language” of the child – play. Play provides a way for children to more naturally communicate and process their needs. While traditionally focused on use with children, play therapy can be and is used across the lifespan, as even adults can sometimes be at a loss for words to express their internal world. Research suggests play therapy is an effective mental health approach, regardless of age, gender, or the nature of the problem, and works best when a parent, family member, or caretaker is actively involved in the treatment process1.
