Therapy for those healing the wounds of displacement, occupation, and systemic complicity.
Deeprogramming® utilizes the PhenoSomo Decolonizing framework—a somatic and intellectual approach to dismantling the internal "cages" built by oppressive systems. We specialize in working with the SWANA diaspora, activists, and community healers ready to build a liberated life.
We also offer a limited number of confidential, retainer-based partnerships through DeeprogrammingPlus, which helps fund sliding-scale spots in our community.
Deeprogramming® is dedicated to a different way of being, a way that embraces the richness and complexity of all human experiences. It's a place where we can acknowledge the realities of our shared history and the ongoing struggles we face, both individually and collectively through the lenses of mental health counseling.
