While psychotherapy that focuses on emotion regulation and coping skill development can be valuable for many people, Shared Stories Counseling understands that healing happens when we stand against the harm, abuse, and oppression that keeps us constantly fighting to stay regulated.

We are committed to empowering you to remind yourself… “My inability to stay calm, engaged, productive, social, motivated or happy in a toxic and oppressive system is not the problem!”

We’d love to help you connect to local communities, activists, authors and online spaces that can remind you of this as well.
