SETTING THE FRAME
A SAFE FOUNDATION
Your healing begins in a space where your story—personal, cultural, and ancestral—is fully honored. Together, we establish trust, set intentions, and create a foundation grounded in the realities of systemic oppression, historical trauma, and social context. Here, you are seen, heard, and held as you prepare to step into deep, transformative work.
CREATING CONGRUENCY
REPAIRING YOUR SENSE OF SELF + YOUR RELATIONSHIPS
Once these experiences have been felt and attended to, we focus on integration. You’ll explore how internalized patterns have influenced your identity, relationships, and sense of agency. Decolonial therapy supports reclaiming your authentic self, reshaping connections with others, and fostering mutual aid and accountability—linking personal healing to collective liberation.
DIVING DEEPER
HOLDING WOUNDS, GRIEF, AND RAGE
With trust established, we create space for your body, mind, and heart to process emotions long held—grief, sadness, shame, anger, and even rage. We explore how systemic oppression and conditioning have been internalized, how they shape your sense of self, relationships, and perception of the world. This phase is about building capacity to witness your lived and inherited experiences and begin renegotiating what's internalized to help reclaim your agency.
BUILDING YOUR TOOL KIT
INTEGRATING LIBERATION INTO YOUR DAILY LIFE
The final phase centers on applying your insights and skills in daily life. Together, we develop tools, reflections, and practices to sustain your growth, repair relational and systemic harms where possible, and deepen your participation in collective well-being. This ensures your healing contributes to both personal freedom and broader social transformation.
THE BENEFITS OF DECLONIAL THERAPY
Release internalized oppression and trauma
This work gently helps you notice and release the weight of internalized oppression and systemic conditioning from colonialism, racism, sexism, and other systemic forces that may unknowingly and forcefully shaped your inner world. By transmuting and clearing the imprints of these patterns, you can help your system reclaim mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual freedom, allowing your true self to more fully emerge.
Reconnect with your auhtentic self & power
Decolonial therapy nurtures your capacity to know yourself authentically and step into your agency free from society's lofty burdens and disempowering expectations. As you reclaim this awareness of yourself beyond systemic programming, this helps you to reconnect with and move more clearly with confidence, clarity, and alignment—rooted in your values and your truth.
Step into individual and collective liberation
You healing the impact of systemic and colonial oppression created healing ripples beyond your own life. By tending to the inner and ancestral landscapes within you that have been molded by societal programming, you create space for embodied justice, repair, and collective freedom within yourself and within your connections with those around you in your community.
