Are You Struggling With Racial Identity?

Home » Areas of Specialty » Racial Identity » Page 29

Discovering one’s racial identity is a process of introspection, an outward understanding of the social and political privileges in the world, and recognizing the implications that each has on one another as they relate to that individual.

Therapists and counselors make space for clients of color and white clients to understand how their racial identity impacts their lives, what privileges they do and do not have related to race, and how that impacts their mental health.

People exist at different stages in recognizing their racial identity, with some people unaware of how race affects their lives and others acutely aware due to the pervasiveness of discrimination.

Available Treatment Options

Counseling interventions include processing emotions related to racial identity, understanding the implications of the effects of race, and supporting growth and empowerment.

It is imperative, therefore, that we establish a...

My approach is collaborative and active. I balance making therapy challenging at times, yet playful enough so that you will want to come back. My clients say this therapy-on-the-move is easier than a traditional sit-on-a-couch scenario in which the confinement of the room can get in the way of the work. I think for some people — especially teens & young adults — the idea of sitting in a room wi...

Behind and beneath behavior there is meaning and an attempt to communicate. Every family history includes heroes who have gone to extraordinary measures to survive and protect themselves and those they love from real crisis. Sometimes it is hard to recognize that the crisis has ended or that the strategies that helped people survive are no longer helpful in a different time and place. Sometimes...
