Racial Trauma Therapy with a Black Psychotherapist
A safe, affirming space to process the impact of racism, discrimination, and microaggressions with a Black psychotherapist.
Racism leaves a mark, whether it comes as a single painful event or as years of everyday microaggressions. Over time, race-based stress can affect your sleep, mood, sense of safety, relationships, and how you see yourself.
Talking about these experiences can be hard, especially if you have had to defend or explain them before. As a Black psychotherapist, Dilys Chuinkam offers a space where your experiences are believed and taken seriously, and where healing can include your culture, community, and strengths.
What We Can Work On
- The emotional toll of microaggressions and discrimination
- Workplace racism, tokenism, and code-switching fatigue
- Hypervigilance, anger, or exhaustion after racist experiences
- Intergenerational and cultural trauma
- Questions of identity, belonging, and self-worth
- Reconnecting with community, culture, and sources of strength
