A Safe Space to Heal acknowledges the 19 pueblos, nations and the resilience of the indigenous communities in the land now known as New Mexico. My business aims to lift up Native people and respect traditional healing methods.
A Safe Space to Heal also acknowledges the Tongva people as the first inhabitants of the land that is now known as Los Angeles and pays respect to the elders and descendants of these people and honor their stories, culture and community.
To put it simply, intergenerational trauma includes the unhealed and unaddressed wounds that have been passed down from our ancestors to our grandparents--->our parents--->us--->our children--->their children. This lens takes blame and pathology off of individuals and acknowledges that trauma exists in a systemic and historical context. We each have the potential to pass on trauma if we are unaware of or unable to take action to heal the wounds of trauma AND we each have the opportunity to take part in ending cycles of oppression and suffering.
What is my definition of "Trauma?"
Trauma describes experiences that were never supposed to occur and that cause overwhelm, shock and unsafety to the body.
YES.
At A Safe Space, I take your privacy seriously. Information shared in therapy sessions is confidential and will not be shared with anyone without your explicit consent, with a few exceptions.
Important to note-I am a mandated reporter, which means there are limits to confidentiality. I am not able to honor confidentiality when: learning that a protected person (anyone under 18, legally under someone else's guardianship or elder (65+) has been or is being abused and/or neglected. Secondly, if a client discloses that they plan to end their own or someone else's life and have the means to do so, I am also mandated to report under these circumstances. Outside of these exceptions, everything else is confidential.
I work with three platforms for electronic health record keeping-Grow Therapy, Headway and Rula. Here are their privacy policies:
