I joined A Home Within in 2012. I was looking for a way to use my skills and training to give something back. I often see psychotherapy as sitting right on this line between necessity and luxury and it bothered me that I was treating mostly very privileged people. A Home Within has given me the opportunity to help someone who otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford long term treatment.

I would say that giving someone access to this kind of deep, meaningful work is a special and important use of your resources.

I would love to see other kinds of practitioners get on board– psychiatrists, acupuncturists, breathwork specialists, etc.

The opportunity to really be there for someone for “as long as it takes”

It has pushed me to deepen my understanding of complex trauma and its intersection with systemic, societal oppression.
