Therapy that sees and honors your full experience.
You should not have to shrink yourself, over-explain your experiences, or wonder if your therapist truly sees you. At Turn the Mind, we are here to do the work alongside you, with honesty, cultural humility, and genuine care.
Real anti-racist practice, not just the right words.
"Will my therapist make assumptions about me based on my race or background?"
"Does this therapist actually understand the weight of navigating racism every day?"
"Is my therapist doing real anti-racism work, or just saying the right things?"
If you have asked yourself questions like these, you are not alone. At Turn the Mind, we recognize that racism, in its systemic, interpersonal, and internalized forms, is not just a social issue. It is a mental health issue. The chronic stress of navigating microaggressions, discrimination, and intergenerational trauma takes a real toll on your emotional well-being, sense of self, and relationships. We are committed to creating a space where that reality is not minimized, explained away, or met with silence.
Our approach to anti-racist, affirming therapy.
Anti-racism is not a page on our website. It shapes how we train, how we practice, and how we show up in the room with you.
Evidence-based care through an anti-racist lens
We apply evidence-based therapies, including DBT, CBT, and trauma-informed care, through an explicitly anti-racist lens, so treatment reflects your lived reality rather than a one-size-fits-all model.
Racial trauma, addressed directly
We address racial trauma and intergenerational trauma directly, recognizing them as legitimate clinical concerns that shape mental health outcomes.
Training that never stops
We engage in continuous personal and professional anti-racism training, because this work never stops. Neither does our commitment to it.
You are not here to educate us
We ground our practice in historical awareness and an understanding of systemic racism, so we can meet you where you are without asking you to explain why your experiences matter.
Lived experience on our team
Our team includes therapists with lived experience, including Martha Jimenez, LCSW, who brings her own cultural background and identity into her work with BIPOC clients.
"For the first time in therapy, I didn't have to explain why certain things hurt or be gaslit or minimized. I didn't have to explain why my trauma was traumatic. My therapist already understood."
TC, client
"Being anti-racist means committing to identifying how racism manifests in social and cultural norms and how to address racism at the individual and structural levels."
