Our Values

At Solidarity Therapy we draw from our values of liberation and intersectionality to understand your identity and experience. 

We are dedicated to liberation work, and we believe that individual healing lends to collective healing. We are committed to our own ongoing learning to understand how our own oppressions and privileges impact our views. We work with you to unpack the parts of your identity which are challenging, and the parts of your identity which are empowering to navigate. 

 

We understand that systemic oppression continues to impact BIPOC and 2SLGBTQIA+ folks. We work in solidarity with you to help deconstruct systems of power for our collective's healing and empowerment. 

​Intersectionality is a sociopolitical theory coined by Kimberlé Crenshaw in 1989. Many Black women actively voiced that the first and second waves of feminism did not include their experiences. 

 

Intersectionality factors in overlapping social identities that may be both empowering and oppressing. We look at social factors such as gender, caste, sex, race, sexuality, ethnicity, nationality, class, religion, disability, and physical appearance to understand your experience.
