Psychotherapy
Overview of Culturally Relevant Therapy Services at Sondercove Wellness
At Sondercove Wellness, we believe that healing cannot be separated from identity. Many of the individuals we support have encountered systems that were not built with their experiences in mind. Our therapeutic approach is grounded in honoring culture, community, intergenerational wisdom, and the unique challenges faced by people living at the intersections of race, gender, sexuality, socioeconomic status, and systemic harm.
How Services Are Typically Provided
Therapy sessions are offered in-person or virtually to accommodate access, comfort, and preference. Our clinicians are trained in evidence-based practices while also honoring culturally rooted modalities of healing. Sessions are flexible in format and can include traditional talk therapy, narrative approaches, mindfulness practices, or integration of body-awareness and somatic work—based on the individual’s goals and values.
Each participant is supported in identifying what wellness looks like for them, and therapy is adapted to meet those definitions. We emphasize mutual respect, non-hierarchical relationships, and transparency throughout the therapeutic process.

Our therapists reflect the communities we serve and are committed to ongoing learning, accountability, and decolonizing their practices. We understand that therapy should not require individuals to leave parts of themselves at the door.
Therapy as a Space for Cultural Healing and Liberation
We recognize that for many Black, Indigenous, and People of Color, traditional therapy has historically missed the mark—or caused harm. At Sondercove Wellness, we seek to change that by creating therapeutic spaces where people can explore their full selves, be affirmed, and experience healing that honors their truth.
Our clinicians are dedicated to holding space for hard conversations, radical rest, identity reclamation, and navigating survival in systems not built for everyone. Therapy here is not just about coping—it’s about cultivating joy, agency, and transformation.
