Radical Well-Being Center
www.radicalwellbeingcenter.com
Radical Well-Being Center offers psychotherapy for individuals, couples, and families, group therapy, massage, acupuncture, reiki and decolonized healing and energy work, nutrition counseling from a non-diet/Health at Every Size/intuitive eating perspective, educational workshops, and community events. Our therapists are trauma-informed and work from a social justice and harm reduction perspective.
Because high-quality mental health and physical wellness services have been historically inaccessible to Black people, LGBTQIA people, non-Black people of color, people with disabilities, and people in polyamorous or non-traditional relationships, Radical Well-Being Center seeks to include those who have been excluded from these services with a focus on accessibility and representation.
