Race- and Culture-based Concerns

Your experiences with race, culture, and identity are central to who you are and they may also shape the challenges you face. From subtle microaggressions to systemic racism, cultural disconnection, or identity struggles, the emotional impact can be profound.

At Four Wings Psychology, we offer therapy for racialized individuals and those navigating cultural identity, belonging, and marginalization. Whether you’re processing racism, managing cross-cultural pressures, or seeking a therapist who sees the whole of who you are, you’re welcome here.

We offer therapy that honours the complexity of your lived experience. Our approach is:

• Anti-oppressive and trauma-informed
• Rooted in cultural humility - we don’t assume; we ask, learn, and honour your story
• Affirming of intersectional identities, including race, culture, gender, religion, and sexuality
• Focused on creating psychological safety, not just “cultural competence”

We may integrate therapies like:

• Narrative Therapy – to reclaim your voice and story
• ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) – to manage the emotional toll of systemic stress
• Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) – to process the pain, anger, and grief that can accompany racial trauma
• Mindfulness and somatic approaches – to help regulate the body in the face of chronic stress

Whether you need space to unpack anger, grief, identity confusion, or exhaustion, this space is for you.

• Therapists with lived experience and/or training in anti-racist and culturally responsive care
• Trauma-informed, LGBTQ2S+ affirming, and socially conscious
• Support for teens, adults, and families
• Therapy available in-person in Nepean or virtually across Ontario

We listen with care and respond with respect: no need to educate us on why it matters
