Bring your complicated, genuine, intersectional self: there is room for you here. We provide counseling for individuals and couples of color in Washington.
Understanding Our Layers
All humans come in layers. Each of those layers are constantly interacting with one another, influencing your mind, thoughts, decisions and behaviors. For individuals of color, the intersectionality of our identities can even feel complicated or heightened.
Inspired by this belief, Mayra Vasquez created this painting to represent how each layer of our lived experiences can impact the way we see ourselves, others, and the world.
The process of learning to understand each layer and its impact can be challenging and mind-perplexing (hence our name, “MINDplexcity”), but it’s also a rewarding journey of acceptance, openness, and compassion for yourself and others.
