Equity Consultation Services & Mental Health and Wellness Counseling

Providing culturally attune and trauma-informed counseling services, and equity-centered consultation services.

Studio Hope is committed to helping overcome performative equity initiatives. The benefits of diversity and inclusion are well known and supported. However, gaps in our practices continue to rise to the surface. Many individuals, organizations, and institutions now realize that we must move beyond the superficial and performative nods of inclusion practices to have a genuine and authentic appreciation of diverse environments. Studio Hope is equally committed to helping others find purpose, every day. We provide wellness counseling specific to improving mental health, regulating mind-body and emotion, and developing individualized plans to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. The expert counselors at Studio Hope incorporate a holistic, trauma-informed, and culturally relevant lens to supporting individuals. In alignment with personal wellness, Studio Hope provides anti-oppression equity consultation to individuals or organizational leadership and management to increase personal accountability in reducing harm. 

 

 

Services Offered at Studio Hope:

01.

Leadership 1:1 Equity Consultation

Most organizations charge select leaders with the task of leading equity-centered teams and changing institutional culture. However, these leaders often lack appropriate support for such a challenging role and aren’t sure what the best practices are for responding to dynamic inequities. As a business leader, you may be learning about equity-related issues yourself. Perhaps you could use support to figure out the next best step, how to best support initiatives, or how to create appropriate support spaces for folks marginalized by systems.

02.

Family/Couples Counseling

Relationships and communication can come easily and should be fulfilling. Often we have barriers from emotional stress or past traumas that we have normalized that impede our ability to thrive in relationships with others. This service offers private counseling with you and your loved ones on healthy ways to engage.

03.

Anti-Oppression & Equity Counseling

Many folks have barriers to talking about oppression or even seeing oppression because of unresolved anxieties and their own lived experiences. For example, many aren’t aware of the impact of racial trauma and racial anxieties in their lives. Whether you seek to support a friend or loved one with their identity or are ready to do personal work of becoming anti-oppressive, this may be the safe and confidential space for you.

04.

Individual Counseling Sessions

Everyone could use support! Supportive counseling can range from processing everyday life stressors to coping with complex trauma. Mental health care is just as critical as any other part of our wellness routines. This service offers private 1:1 counseling with a professional trained in culturally responsive therapeutic modalities. Areas of specialization are generalized stress, anxiety, depression, traumatic stress, trauma, racial stress, and identity-based oppression.

Easy Payment

Quick and easy invoicing offering a variety of payment options.

Flexible Scheduling

Self-booking options allow you to schedule as needed or on a recurring basis.

It is only after we acknowledge the issue that we can begin to challenge it.
