We Celebrate…
Mental Health is Social Justice
In a world that is ever-changing, ECS recognizes that the tensions and stressors of social justice issues belong in the therapy room.
Systemic racism, financial inequality, immigration status, disability rights and queer identities all impact the ways that you can move through the world. Here at ECS, we take into account the intersectionality of your identity as an important piece of understanding your unique mental health needs. ECS is an active participant in community programs and prioritizes listening to leaders with lived experience while challenging our own biases.
Our goal is to provide resources and connections within our community and to be a participant in systemic change. As clinicians, we are present to help you unpack and explore the ways in which social inequality has impacted you and your mental health. We want to help you to break cycles and heal from generational and societal trauma.

Therapy for People with Marginalized Identities
At ECS, we understand that you may want to work with a clinician who shares your lived experiences. Even if that therapist isn’t with us, we want to help you find the right fit. Below, you will find links to therapist directories for clinicians of specific cultural and racial experiences who can meet you where you’re at and support you in your mental health journey.
