Your body isn’t broken. It’s doing exactly what it was designed to do.

Trauma responses are our sense of survival. Whether you lash out, shut down, over-accommodate, or feel paralyzed, you’re responding the way your nervous system was wired to keep you safe.

Understanding your response is the first step toward healing, and honoring the wisdom in your body is a powerful act of self-love.

If you're navigating faith transitions, religious trauma, or asking deeper questions about the beliefs you were raised with, this space is for you.

Part 1 of this two-part workshop series will explore how dogma shapes identity, how to gently unravel what no longer fits, and how to begin reclaiming your own values in the process.

Acceptance isn’t about liking what happened. It’s about making space for reality, so you can finally stop carrying the weight alone.

📌 Save this for the hard days.

Let’s get honest.

People aren’t leaving the Church because they’ve "fallen away." They’re leaving because the Church has too often become a sanctuary for systems of harm while silencing those trying to heal from them.

When churches protect whiteness, uphold patriarchy, and shame q***r folks, while ignoring the radical, boundary-breaking love Jesus actually preached, people walk. And rightfully so.

If your experience with faith left you believing your identity needed to shrink in order to be loved, you’re not alone. You didn’t fail. The system did.

At Pride and Grace Counseling, we hold space for folks wrestling with faith, identity, and the grief of spiritual betrayal. There’s room for your whole story here, especially the parts that were once silenced.

Let that sit for a second.

So much of what gets labeled as “coping” or “resilience” is really about enduring systems, relationships, and expectations that harm us.

You deserve more than survival. You deserve liberation.

Therapy at Pride and Grace Counseling is for people who learned that safety meant staying small, quiet, useful, or unseen.

We work with:
🧡 Overachievers who learned rest had to be earned
💚 Q***r and trans folks navigating identity, faith, and belonging
💛 People raised in environments where love was conditional
❤️ Those healing from religious trauma, systemic oppression, or chronic self‑abandonment

Our work centers on unlearning the belief that you must perform to belong.

Therapy here is:
✔️ Anti‑oppressive and trauma‑informed
✔️ Collaborative, not corrective
✔️ Attuned to your nervous system
✔️ Focused on identity, boundaries, and redefining worth

We use somatic, narrative, and acceptance‑based approaches to help you understand survival responses, soften shame, and build a life rooted in values rather than fear.

This work can feel frustrating at times because healing moves at the pace your nervous system allows, not at the pace your expectations demand. And that’s part of the work.

You don’t need to earn care here. You’re already allowed to take up space.

Hi, I’m Priscilla (they/them), a non-binary, trans, second-gen Chinese American, Bay Area native, and licensed psychotherapist.

I created Pride and Grace Counseling for folks like you:
🧡 The ones who were told to hide parts of themselves to belong.
💚 The ones healing from religious trauma, codependency, and conditional love.
💛 The ones who are trying to reclaim their worth and rewrite their story.

My work is grounded in a trauma-informed, q***r-affirming, anti-oppressive approach. That means I won’t ask you to choose between who you are and what you’ve been through. Instead, we work together, collaboratively, using tools like Narrative Therapy, ACT, and Somatic Experiencing to support nervous system healing, identity reclamation, and real, sustainable growth.

Therapy with me provides the space to witness what’s true, build tools, and find pride in your story.

When I’m not in session, I’m usually volunteering, gaming, or spending time with my loved ones. You can learn more about me at prideandgracecounseling.com.

I’m so glad you’re here.

Leaving Evangelicalism doesn’t mean leaving yourself. It can feel confusing, lonely, or even disorienting to untangle what you were taught from who you are now.

🗓️ Saturday, Feb 21 at 10:30 am PT

Let’s talk about religious trauma...

the kind that’s hard to name but shows up everywhere. In your body, your identity, your relationships, your sense of safety.

You’re not being dramatic. You’re not making it up. And you’re definitely not alone.

This post is a starting place, a gentle invitation to explore what healing could look like for you. There’s no one path. But there is a way forward.

Share this with someone who might need it, and if you see yourself in this, I see you too.

I remember that verse about being perfect. The one that goes "be perfect, as your heavenly father is perfect." I remember hating myself for the mistakes I made, the human desires I had. I tried desperately to reach that place of holiness.

I finally realized it was an unrealistic goal, and those efforts just caused me shame about my humanity. It fed me a strong self-critical voice. I've come to the understanding that perfectionism isn't the goal of my life. It isn't to be like God.

My values like restoration, healing, equity, safety, and being of service to those in need are what I want in my life. I want to leave the space I'm in just a bit better than how I found it. I learned to embrace flexibility, grace, and being me. ❤️

The question isn’t “which part of me do I reject?” It’s: “Who told me I couldn’t be both?”

You are not too q***r for God. You are not too spiritual for the q***r community. You don’t have to choose between your truth and your traditions.

There’s space for all of you.

To anyone wrestling with this: you’re not alone. 🧡 There’s a community for you. There’s a path forward. There’s a you-shaped space at the intersection of identity and belief.
