feminist therapy

Therapy with a feminist perspective is more than just focusing on inequality and injustice. At New Moon Awakenings, feminism is integrated into treatment to honor the whole person you are. All of the various characteristics and identities you hold allow you to experience varying degrees of privilege and oppression (also called intersectionality). Sometimes it may be necessary to take a closer look at the connection between you and the things you are struggling with. In doing so, the goal is to allow the increased understanding to empower you to expand possibilities and choices available to you. Regardless of what society might rigidly expect of you, liberating you from the weight of those expectations so you may confidently define your own path can be a powerful part of therapy.

I wish to acknowledge the sovereignty of the indigenous custodians of the land on which my psychotherapy practice New Moon Ecotherapy PLLC and my home are currently residing and their Elders past and present, which, as I am situated in what colonizers call “Washington,” includes the Duwamish, Coast Salish, Suquamish, sdukʷalbixʷ (Snoqualmie), Stillaguamish, Snohomish, S’Klallam, Quileute, Queets, Quinault, Qʷidiččaʔa•tx̌ (Makah), Squaxin, Nisqually, Nuxwsa’7aq (Nooksack), Semiahmoo, and the ChalAt’i’lo t’sikAti (Chalat’). I invite you to learn more and make a donation to support the return of their land and culture. I invite residents of Seattle to consider paying rent to the Duwamish Nation as an act of solidarity and step toward justice: https://www.realrentduwamish.org/
