Therapy is inherently political. To pretend otherwise would be a disservice to my clients & my community. Trauma does not happen in a vaccum. The pain, anxiety, and disconnection that people bring to therapy are not just personal struggles. They are the result of systemic forces - capitalism, colonialism, patriarchy, and racism - that shape our lives and relationships.
I will always be on the side of equity, justice, & human rights. I will always advocate for the marginalized. I will continue to pay attention to the atrocities of our world, especially those perpetrated by our current administration.

In light of recent oral arguments at the Supreme Court in the Chiles v. Salazar case, ACA reaffirms that conversion therapy is a harmful practice. We also reaffirm our commitment to supporting policies that protect clients, uphold professional standards and advance the integrity of the counseling profession. As part of a coalition of mental health organizations, we have signed on to a friend of the court brief reiterating:

• Conversion therapy is a dangerous and discredited practice
• Psychotherapy is more than simply ‘talking’ — it is a medical treatment and therefore can be regulated by states
• Conversion therapy can fuel stigma and discrimination toward the LGBTQ+ community

I'm so glad that is intentional about creating events that support community over competition. I was honored and thrilled to speak alongside these incredible clinicians at the Real Talk on Private Practice Therapy panel.
It’s always a joy seeing familiar faces & getting to know new ones. ✨
