Step outside your comfort zone and learn about other people’s experiences and life. As I was finishing up this article, I felt it was important to highlight the recent increase in hate crimes against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders due to misconceptions about the pandemic (covid-19). No human should fear for their life because of the color of their skin, gender, culture, or ethnic background. As a mental health provider, minority, and woman, I stand with our Asian American and Pacific Islander brothers and sisters; and urge others to become involved and create safe spaces for healing and hope.
While everyone’s anxiety and worry are valid, it can also keep us from being present and lead to a deficit in mental health. Often times, people’s goal when it comes to anxiety is to “get rid of it” or “make it go away. It’s not always the response people want to hear, especially when they are paying to solve an issue. Think of the fight or flight response all of us experience when we go through scary experiences.
However, I believe the potential for deficits exists in an identity non-specific therapeutic relationship that could otherwise be avoided in identity-specific therapeutic relationships. So the next time you find yourself in a circumstance in which you consider identity specific vs. identity non-specific therapist match up, I hope you give some of the insights above a little bit of thought. As an out, Non-Binary, Queer Person of Color (QPOC) in high school with conservative and religious parents, I faced many struggles that inevitably had effects on my mental health. Areas in which I provide services include but are not limited to issues concerning: Depression/mood, Anxiety, parenting, couple/polyamory/relationship dynamics, sexuality, gender identity, sexual identity, and kink/BDSM involvement.

It’s hard not to think about everything going on around us because it seems more tangible. But, what about what’s going on inside of us emotionally and spiritually? We don’t have control over what is happening, but we can take time to be with ourselves and work from the inside out. Let be the things we can’t control and work on the things you can. Your challenge today is to spend some time sitting with yourself and taking some deep breaths. If you cry then be it, if you feel angry then say it, and if you are scared then hold yourself. #growth #mentalhealth #movement #within #spiritually #mentalwellness #selflove #growth #inspiration #motivation #PsychoSocial #endthestigma
Something I continuously hear from patients is “I need to be strong, I can’t let the fear get to me.” More often than not we’re taught that our feelings are not worth the attention and we have to ignore them or depress them. Yet, it’s important to normalize that we are all human and we all for through tough times. Right now we’re all going through something extraordinary and experiencing collective trauma. It’s ok to feel anxious. It’s a normal response. The question is how can we sit with it and then get back up? Many of us are currently struggling with intense feeling of worry and fear about the unknown. It’s necessary we have empathy for ourselves, our feelings, and focus on the things we have control over. #mentalhealth #wellness #motivation #inspiration #selflove #anxiety #covid-19 #collectivetrauma #loss #worldwide #endthestigma #oknotbeingok #feelings #normalresponse #movement #PsychoSocial
The COVID-19 epidemic has rapidly become an unprecedented situation that continues to grow. Not only are we seeing the physical effects of the illness, but also the social impact it is causing. Millions of people in the U.S alone have lost their jobs, closed their businesses, and have been forced to self-isolate (“social distancing”) as we attempt to curve the rate of exposure. It truly is a scary situation and many of us are left experiencing high levels of anxiety and depression. While it’s true that we have no control over what is happening, we do have some control. In situations like these it is absolutely necessary that we pay special attention to the important choices we can make to keep us safe and also contribute to our mental wellness. Head to the link in our bio for some resources including articles, hotlines, and apps that can help us practice healthy coping strategies while we continue to support one another and focus on keeping one another safe. #mentalhealth #support #collectivehealing #movement #mentalwellness #inspiration #resources #PsychoSocial #endthestigma
We are so excited to team up with @techqueriaorg for a special talk on setting boundaries and limits with work and home.

Mental health and social services are crucial when we got through catastrophic events. We’re hearing a lot about essential roles and mental health providers are definitely in that group. Read about our co-founder’s experience as a social worker working in San Francisco with the homeless family population (link in bio)! If you’re a mental health provider it’s crucial that you spend time reflecting on your role and the communities you serve. If you’re someone who’s been supported by a social worker then it’s a great read about the work. #mentalhealth #mentalhealthproviders #movement #support #inspiration #socialworkers #reflection #endthestigma
