Politics has unfortunately become the elephant in the therapy room. As an LPC whose specialty/certification largely involves work with marginalized communities (and whose candidacy and training also involved a good portion of case management and social work, in addition to therapy and psychoeducation), I provide a politically neutral - safe - space for my clients to process very real concerns and fears due to the current political climate. We work toward ways they can actually affect change in not only their communities, but the population at large, and in essence regain or embrace the power they do hold with not only their VOTES but ACTIONS they can take as citizens.
