Mindful Life Counseling is committed to providing an anti-racist space to process the stress of discrimination. We know Black, Indigenous, and people of color face systemic racism every day. These aggressions — whether they are overt, covert, intentional or unintentional — take a toll mentally, emotionally and physically.

These aggressions — whether they are overt, covert, intentional or unintentional — take a toll mentally, emotionally and physically.

These traumas can trigger our biological response to stress, flooding the body with adrenaline and cortisol, the hormones responsible for our fight-or-flight response. While this response is natural, elevated levels of these hormones can lead to negative health outcomes. That’s why at Mindful Life Counseling we believe in a holistic approach to therapy that addresses the cumulative physical, mental and emotional effects of racism.
