Clinical Focus Areas
-
Racial and identity-based trauma refers to the emotional, psychological, and physical impact of experiencing racism, discrimination, marginalization, or chronic invalidation related to one or more aspects of your identity. This can include harm connected to race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, or other parts of who you are, and may result from both single incidents and ongoing, repeated exposure over time.
It may show up as anxiety, hypervigilance, sadness, anger, exhaustion, difficulty trusting others, or feeling unsafe, unseen, or disconnected in certain spaces or relationships.
Racial and identity-based trauma reflects how oppression and identity-related stress can deeply affect a person’s sense of safety, self-worth, identity, and belonging.

Anxiety is a response to stress that can show up as persistent worry, fear, or physical tension. It may feel like racing thoughts, restlessness, difficulty relaxing, or a sense of being on edge. While anxiety is a natural human response, it can become overwhelming when it interferes with daily life or a sense of safety.
-
Depression is more than feeling sad. It can involve persistent low mood, loss of interest or pleasure, fatigue, changes in sleep or appetite, difficulty concentrating, and feelings of hopelessness or disconnection. Depression can affect how a person thinks, feels, and moves through daily life.
