This Black History Month, we’re honoring Black women whose words and wisdom continue to shape how we understand care, survival, and truth.

Audre Lorde was not a clinician, yet her work lives deeply within the heart of many therapeutic frameworks. Through her writing, she named what it means to tend to oneself in a world that was never built for everyone’s safety.

She reminded us that caring for ourselves is not indulgent—it is necessary. That rest, boundaries, and truth-telling can be acts of survival. That language itself can be a place of healing.

Audre Lorde’s legacy continues to invite us to listen more closely to our inner lives and to honor the emotional labor of being human.

Today, we pause in gratitude for her words—and the permission they continue to give.

A small reminder, in case today feels heavy or fast:
you’re allowed to pause.

Breathing isn’t a cure-all—but it can be a way back to yourself.
A way to soften your shoulders.
A way to reset, even briefly.

If it feels supportive, you might try square breathing:

Inhale for 4
Hold for 4
Exhale for 4
Hold for 4

One slow cycle at a time.
No need to do it perfectly.
No need to change how you feel.

Just a moment of steadying.
A quiet signal to your nervous system that you’re here, and you’re safe enough right now.

Consider this your permission slip to breathe.
We’re breathing with you.

Where attachment theory falls short—

Attachment theory has been deeply influential—but it’s not neutral.

Historically, it:
🫤 Centered white, Western, nuclear families
😒 Overemphasized mothers as primary attachment figures
😬 Underrecognized community, extended family, and cultural caregiving systems

Feminist and cultural critiques remind us that caregiving happens within systems—not in isolation.

This Black History Month, we’re honoring Black women whose work has widened our understanding of what healing can look like.

Dr. Thema Bryant (.thema) reminds us that care does not live only within individuals. Her work weaves together psychology, spirituality, and liberation—inviting the mental health field to consider healing as something deeply relational and communal.

She speaks to the truth that rest is not a reward for exhaustion, and that tending to ourselves can be an act of resistance in a world that asks for constant output. Her voice creates space for care that is grounded, dignified, and expansive.

Dr. Bryant’s work continues to call us toward a vision of healing that holds both personal and collective well-being—where wholeness is not separated from justice.

Today, we pause in gratitude for her leadership, wisdom, and the pathways she continues to open.

Attachment doesn’t only live in romantic relationships, attachment patterns show up everywhere: friendships, workplaces, families, communities, and therapy itself. February’s focus on love often narrows the lens, but attachment is relational, not romantic by default.

You may notice attachment patterns when:
You overthink texts
You shut down during conflict
You feel responsible for others’ emotions
You struggle to ask for help
You fear being “too much” or “not enough”

These are not personality quirks—they’re relational survival strategies.

In case you were wondering where we stand.

At Wild Hope Therapy, our work is informed by a feminist, relational approach to mental health and community building. We pay attention to power, context, systems, and the ways we’re shaped by our relationships—past and present.

For a long time, therapy asked clinicians to be invisible. To be neutral. To listen without being human. While listening will always matter here, we don’t believe care requires erasing ourselves or pretending we exist outside of culture, identity, or experience.

Our approach is rooted in non-judgment, acceptance, and accountability. We show up as humans who are aware of our own perspectives and biases—and when it’s helpful to the work, we’re honest about them. Not as a burden to our clients, but as a way to build trust and real connection.

We believe the best care doesn’t come from a single voice or lens. It comes from resourcing our collective perspectives, lived experiences, and shared knowledge—within our team and with the people we serve.

We see each client as the expert on their own life. Your story, your wisdom, your knowing matters here. Our role is not to “fix,” but to walk alongside, offering care that honors your autonomy and humanity.

And we believe each clinician is a unique contributor to this mission—bringing skill, curiosity, and care that strengthens the whole.

This is the ground we stand on.
Care that is collaborative, justice-aware, and deeply human.

This is Wild Hope.

This Black History Month, we’re honoring Black women whose work expanded how the mental health field understands trauma, history, and care.

Dr. Joy DeGruy gave language to something many had long carried without words. Through her work on Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome, she illuminated how trauma can live across generations—shaped not by individual failure, but by historical and ongoing harm.

Her contributions remind us that healing is not about “moving on” or leaving the past behind. It’s about understanding what has been passed down, what has been survived, and what deserves compassion rather than judgment.

Dr. DeGruy’s work continues to challenge the field to hold context with care—to recognize that history doesn’t stay in history books, but lives in bodies, families, and communities.

Today, we honor her courage in naming what needed to be named—and the healing made possible by telling the truth.

February often centers romantic love, but long before adult relationships, we learned what love felt like through early connection. Attachment theory gives us language for how humans learn safety, trust, and closeness—not as abstract concepts, but as embodied experiences shaped by our earliest relationships.

Attachment theory, originally developed by John Bowlby and expanded by Mary Ainsworth, suggests that humans are biologically wired for connection. We are born needing caregivers not only for survival, but for emotional regulation. When those needs are met consistently and responsively, our nervous systems learn that relationships are safe. When they are met inconsistently, unpredictably, or not at all, our nervous systems adapt.

These adaptations are not flaws. They are survival strategies.
From a trauma‑informed perspective, attachment patterns aren’t “styles” you choose—they’re responses your body learned to keep you alive, connected, or protected.

At Wild Hope Therapy, we work with people who are doing their best—and still finding things heavy.

We support adults navigating anxiety and depression, the quiet weight of grief and loss, and the tenderness that can surface around body image and self-esteem. We hold space for trauma—both what is named and what lingers without words—and for the disorientation that often comes with life transitions.

We also work with folks exploring neurodivergence, including ADHD and ASD, and those living with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). Our approach is thoughtful and affirming, grounded in curiosity rather than judgment.

Relationships are often part of the work, too—whether you’re feeling disconnected from others, from yourself, or from the life you imagined.

And for those navigating pregnancy, postpartum, or parenting, we offer care through our specialized perinatal team—providers who understand the complexity, vulnerability, and transformation that can come with this season.

You don’t need to know exactly what’s “wrong” to begin.
If something feels hard, tender, or out of alignment, that’s enough.

Care can start right where you are.

This Black History Month, we’re honoring Black women whose work shaped how we understand care, identity, and harm.

Dr. Mamie Phipps Clark was a psychologist whose research helped the world see something many already felt: that racism leaves a psychological imprint, especially on children. Her work revealed how deeply kids absorb the messages around them—and how systems, not individual shortcomings, shape self-worth.

What she offered the mental health field was not just data, but clarity. A reminder that distress does not arise in a vacuum. That healing requires honesty about the environments we ask people to survive within.

Her legacy continues to invite reflection:
What changes when we stop asking, “What’s wrong with you?”
And instead ask, “What happened around you?”

Today, we pause in gratitude for her work—and for the generations of care it continues to inform.

We are SO overjoyed for Felicity who passed her Independent licensing exam!

Adding an "I" to her licensure means Felicity has dedicated countless (actually 3,000) hours to her practice, completed 150 hours of training supervision, and passed the ASWB Clinical Exam (which is a dooozey)!

"During the time I supervised Felicity, she showed up as a reflective and compassionate clinician who thoughtfully advocated for her clients," said Wild Hope supervisor Zara Geiger, LPAT, ATR, PCC-S. "She brings both competence and heart to her clinical work. I’m proud of her for reaching this important milestone!"

Congratulations, Felicity Lee, LISW!!
