Let’s Get One Thing Straight: Therapy Has Some Baggage

If you’ve ever felt like traditional therapy was… a little stiff, a little clinical, or a little “So how does that make you feel?” for the 400th time—same. That’s because mainstream therapy was largely shaped by Eurocentric, colonial, patriarchal norms that didn’t include everyone’s lived experience. Decolonizing therapy asks us to name that. Challenge that. And then do better. At Well Grounded Therapy, we’re not here to recreate old systems. We’re here to flip the table, rebuild it, and make sure everyone has a damn seat that actually fits.

Trauma is a deeply personal and often overwhelming experience that can affect every area of your life, from relationships and work to your mental and physical well-being. Whether it stems from a specific event—like an accident, assault, or loss—or is the result of ongoing circumstances, trauma can leave lasting emotional scars. The good news is that healing is possible, and finding the right therapist to guide you through the recovery process is one of the most important steps toward reclaiming your life.
