Standing in Solidarity with AAPI and BIPOC Individuals and Communities

Dear Community:

With the murder of six women of Asian descent in Atlanta three weeks ago, the brazen attack of a Filipino woman in Times Square a week ago Monday, and the escalating, but still under-reported incidence of hate crimes and violence perpetrated against many other Asian America and Pacific Islanders (AAPI) since the onset of the pandemic, we are reminded of the terrible intersectional legacy of white supremacy, racialized misogyny and xenophobia in this country.  We hold the victims and survivors and their families and communities, and everyone else impacted by this senseless and heinous hatred and violence, in our hearts and minds. We recognize that, along with all Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) in the United States, Asian, Asian American and Pacific Islanders have always experienced violence and discrimination and will continue to be oppressed until white supremacy is completely dismantled in this country.

Acknowledging our current majority-white status as an organization, Grateful Heart Holistic Therapy Center has started to take a more proactive, deliberate and serious role in addressing racism, both within our organization and in the training of psychotherapists at large. Beginning with an examination of our own programs and policies, we have begun to identify both the influences and impacts of white supremacy culture in our operations, to develop our capacity for interracial dialogue, and to create a more accessible, affirming and explicitly anti-racist setting for both our current and future clients and clinicians. While in the early stages of our process, we hope to become as true an ally as possible to AAPI and BIPOC individuals and communities. Understanding the vigorous, ongoing, systemic effort that is required, we are committed to working internally and with others to create a world where everyone feels safe, respected, honored, uplifted and free of oppression, a world where racial justice is not just a dream, but a shared commitment and reality.

In genuine solidarity,

The Community, Staff and Board of Directors of Grateful Heart Holistic Therapy Center

Internships

We offer a supportive private practice internship program, allowing pre-licensed clinicians (AMFT/ASW/APCC) to earn an income, accrue hours towards licensure and develop the clinical and entrepreneurial skills required for success in private practice. During the Coronavirus pandemic, we are continuing to accept new associates, helping them to launch practices as teletherapists. We also occasionally accept newly licensed clinicians, helping them to launch their private practice careers.

Services

In response to the Coronavirus, we now focus on providing teletherapy (therapy by phone and video) to our clients. Teletherapy can be helpful to individuals of all ages, including children and teenagers. Couples and families can also benefit from the convenience, flexibility and effectiveness of teletherapy. Please call or write us today to learn more about our services.
