Diaspora Therapy Group

Our Mission

Diaspora Therapy Group was founded by members of the BIPOC community. We believe in authentic communication and living your truth. Our goal is to help you find your voice and take up space in a world that can be challenging to navigate. As individuals who have experienced these challenges firsthand, we're here to virtually "hold your hand" throughout your healing journey. Though we're based in San Diego, CA, we offer telehealth services throughout California and Arizona.

Our Treatment Approach

We use our lived experiences to connect with you in ways that traditional Western therapy may not while providing a culturally sensitive and affirming environment to explore your identity. We encourage you to embrace your true self and believe in sitting with discomfort and allowing yourself to feel any emotions that arise. Our therapy services focus on LGBTQ therapy, trauma therapy, anxiety, depression, cultural assimilation, holistic psychotherapy, and more. Schedule your free consultation today to see how we can support you on your healing journey.

Cultivate Authenticity

At Diaspora Therapy Group, we understand the unique pressures and messages from family, society, and dominant cultures that can overshadow who you truly are. Our therapeutic approach helps you navigate these influences and fosters self-discovery by identifying and affirming your authentic self. We work collaboratively to help you celebrate and accept your individuality, creating a rich environment for transformative growth.

Strengthen Connections

Human connection is at the core of well-being, yet many individuals face loneliness, anxiety, and depression due to a lack of deep, meaningful relationships. Our therapy supports you in developing curiosity, empathy, and clear communication, essential for nurturing relationships that bring joy and a sense of community. Together, we help you articulate your needs, explore relationship dynamics, and cultivate stronger connections, fostering a life enriched by support and understanding.

Reconnect with Your Body

In a world that often prioritizes mental processes over bodily awareness, we integrate embodiment practices into therapy. Emotions are deeply tied to physical sensations, and we work with you to explore these connections, helping you release stuck energy and increase awareness of your body’s messages. This approach encourages a deeper understanding of your emotions, enabling you to respond to challenges with resilience and control.

Embrace Life’s Nuances

At Diaspora Therapy Group, we encourage embracing the complexities of life. We help you explore and expand your capacity to hold multiple truths, appreciate nuance, and build empathy. By navigating the grey areas and embracing the both/and of situations, relationships, and emotions, you’ll develop tools to navigate the complexities of life with confidence and compassion.

Healing Through Humor & Joy

While therapy often involves serious work, we believe that joy, humor, and play are essential to healing and resilience. Through moments of levity, we create a therapeutic space where you can celebrate progress and embrace the healing qualities of laughter. Life is multi-dimensional, and we honor that by holding space for the lighter moments, cultivating resilience, and fostering a balanced approach to personal growth.

We promise to hold ourselves accountable for our mistakes and empathetically do the same for you. We promise to check in on you when you need reminders, laugh with you in good times, and hold space for you during tough times.

Our goal is to help you grow, heal, and live your most authentic life. Most importantly we promise to be by your side every step of the way as your trusted partners.
