I help clinicians, healers, and coaches incorporate decolonized and liberatory values in their practices so that you can have a practice and/or service-based business that is truly affirming and welcoming to clients who hold marginalized identities.
What questions do you have for me?
Reader,
You have one more chance to join a free Decolonized Consultation session this year.
These are the last dates of 2023:
- BIPoC clinicians session: Dec 4 - Monday 11am PT - 2pm ET
- white clinicians session: Dec 11 - Monday 11am PT - 2pm ET
These are the links to join:
➡️ Consultation sessions for BIPoC clinicians
➡️ Consultation sessions for white clinicians
The sessions are recorded and you get a limited-time replay afterwards.
What are these free decolonized consultation sessions, you ask?
They are an opportunity to be in community with other mental health and service professionals. In these sessions, I’ll answer all questions you have about decolonizing your practice, your business, the way you provide treatment or your service, your paperwork, your relationships, and yourself.
What are some of the questions we’ve answered?
- Can I be neutral as a therapist?
- What is a good starting point to have a decolonial practice
- How do I put myself out there when starting a PP without centering my privileged identities
- Can I openly say I am a politicized therapist on social media?
- If I work online, does my background need to be neutral? Can I show something that represents my identities?
- Can I use informal language in my profile, something that someone from my community would understand? Would this be unprofessional?
- How do I decolonize my paperwork?
The sessions will come back next year. Most likely in early Spring.
Looking forward to being in community with you 💛
Silvana @ Decolonize Your Practice
PS.
Would you rather sign up for a 1:1 Decolonized Consultation session before the year is over?
This is what happens in a Decolonized Consultation session:
- We meet for around 4-5 sessions (depending on how much work you want to do) and discuss your goals for these meetings.
- I’ll audit your site, your paperwork, your service/offering to make it more decolonized and affirming for clients who hold minoritized identities
- I’ll give you feedback, point out your strengths and areas for growth, and suggest changes.
- We’ll develop a plan you can use to decolonize each and every aspect of your service, treatment, offering, and/or business.

Reader, Something else that keeps surfacing in conversations with fellow therapists and healers is the tension of being both witness and participant in a world on fire. We’re navigating burnout, grief, systemic violence—and then showing up to hold others through the same storms. ❌ This isn’t a sign that you’re not being an effective therapist. This isn't a personal shortcoming either... ✅ This is a reflection of living and working within a system that asks us to care endlessly -while most of...
Reader, A quick update on what I've been up to (you can skip this box to read the Liberatory Letter below): 🎙️ Last year (and last year was a completely different time) I recorded a podcast interview with Maegan Megginson from the Deeply Rested Podcast titled "Love, Joy, and Liberation: A Shame-Free Approach to Decolonization" (for service providers) and you can listen to it here. 🖥️ Next week on 4/24 I am presenting the first part of 3-part Workshop Series for The Therapist Connection titled...
