Navigating Intersectional Identities
Are you personally and/or professionally impacted by Minority Stress?
Do you experience difficulty navigating your personal identities within your relationships, health or other systems, employment, and/or family environment?
Navigating intersectional identities can be difficult, even traumatic, particularly for those who experience heightened levels of minority stress due to historically marginalized social identities.
We understand, and you’re not alone!
We created a psychotherapy group specifically for folks experiencing the impact of minority stress. Within an environment of social safety, participants of this group will engage in structured discussions and activities to address the following topics (and more!):
- Increasing awareness of Intersectional Identities
- Understanding Minority Stress and Social Safety
- Learning the impacts of generational trauma
- Processing emotional and thought responses
- Bolstering our own well-being
- Building supportive relationships with others
- Finding and engaging in community advocacy
- Uplifting and centering joy
The Navigating Intersectional Identities group is open to individuals 18+ who self-identify as having difficulty managing minority stress in their lives. Due to space constraints and best practices in group therapy, this group will be limited to 12 participants. If you register after the group is full, you may request to be added to a list for this group’s next rotation.
This group will not be a good fit for anyone feeling acutely suicidal or struggling with suicidality. If you are looking for immediate services, please visit our Get Help Now page for crisis response resources.
We recommend that participants meet with an individual therapist while the group is in session.
The group meets biweekly on Monday evenings from 6:00-7:30pm at the Kindred Psychology office. The schedule is as follows:
- March 3
- March 17
- March 31
- April 7
- April 21
- May 5
- May 19
- June 2
This psychotherapy group is facilitated by Britta Tollefsrud, MA PLMHP and Braden Foreman-Black, MA MSW PLMHP PCMSW. Check out their bios here.
