My Approach to Healing

At Unbothered Psychotherapy and Wellness, our approach to healing is rooted in decolonizing therapy, person-centered care, and trauma-informed practices. We believe that every individual’s lived experience, culture, and identity should be at the forefront of the healing process.

Decolonizing Therapy involves actively challenging traditional, often Eurocentric frameworks of therapy. We center the unique experiences and strengths of BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and marginalized communities, recognizing the systemic factors that shape how individuals experience trauma and relationships. By honoring your heritage and identity, we create a culturally responsive and empowering healing space.

Person-Centered Therapy ensures that you are at the heart of every session. Together, we create a treatment plan that respects your pace, preferences, and comfort. Our therapeutic techniques, whether EMDR, CBT, or mindfulness practices, are always tailored to you, ensuring that you feel seen, heard, and supported every step of the way.

Through this holistic lens, we aim to empower you with tools and insights that foster personal growth and healthier relationships, transforming trauma into resilience and connection.
