Our Story
"Our Story" isn't actually about us — it's about the space we have created for you. Calming Tides Therapy was created from a desire to create a space for intersectional and marginalized LGBTQ communities. We know that for many of us, we have not felt a sense of belonging or inclusion. We wanted to change that.
We are a team of specialists who understand that your identity is your strength, not a diagnosis nor a deficit. From our first session to our last, our mission to provide a safe and inclusive space for you to be yourself fully and authentically.
We prioritize vulnerable and marginalized communities, including: LGBTQ+ individuals and couples, BIPOC, sex workers, those living with HIV or highly affected by HIV, those living with addictions, immigrants and newcomers.
Our Values:
Cultural Humility: You are the expert of your culture, your heritage, and your life. We are committed to fully understanding and celebrating you.
Intersectional Care: Honoring the richness in diversity and the overlap of race, ethnicity, culture, and identities.
Lived Experience: We combine our professional training with our lived experience as marginalized and intersectional members of the LGBTQ+ community.
Connection First: We are humans first, therapists second. Expect a space that feels more like a conversation and genuine relationship building.
