✨⁠Interviewing Daija Prather: Therapy Through the Lens of Identity ✨

✍️ By Daija Prather, M.A., LCMHCA, NCC

Excerpt:⁠
"How has your identity as a Black therapist shaped your clinical work or clinical education?
This question resonates deeply because my racial identity and professional identity are inseparable. As a Black woman, I carry my identity into every space I occupy, including the therapy room, and it directly informs how I perceive, assess, and engage with clients. My culture, shared language, lived experiences, and ways of relating shape my clinical lens and enhance my ability to attune to nuance, context, and unspoken dynamics."

✨⁠Don’t Accept Too Little ✨

✍️ By Garry Cook, M.Div., LCSW

Excerpt:⁠
"In 1978, Scott Peck wrote his book, The Road Less Traveled. He starts that book with the line, “Life is difficult.” That is true for everyone. My forty-plus years as a therapist confirm that. The road less traveled is the path through awareness, both internal and external, broad spirituality, discipline, and love that matters."

✨⁠Supporting Mental Health: Sanctuary and Community Matter Now More Than Ever✨

✍️ By Kate Welsh, M.S., LMSW, Director of Operations & Development, Sanctuary Counseling Group

Excerpt:⁠
"Over the past several years, we have seen and helped create meaningful progress in destigmatizing mental health and expanding access to care. More people feel comfortable reaching out for help.

However, recent and upcoming changes to Medicaid funding threaten this progress. These changes may significantly reduce or eliminate mental health coverage for many current Medicaid recipients."

Did you know that in addition to typical mental health care, Sanctuary Counseling Group offers help surrounding faith and religion? ✨

This is something that makes our clinicians different from a typical counselor or therapist. We offer a holistic approach that includes one's spirituality.

Does this mean you have to be a religious or spiritual person? Absolutely not! Talking about this or incorporating it into your sessions is optional! ✨
