​We Understand What You're Going Through

The world we live in doesn't always support you in being the fullest version of yourself. The impacts of trauma and oppression take their toll on not only your material well-being, but also on your ability to show up for yourself, in your relationships, and in your community.
​
It makes sense that you're feeling disconnected from what you care about and your sense of power and agency in the world. Systems of domination rely on you being disconnected from your body, from what you care about, and from others.

​You might catch yourself thinking things like:

• "What if my past keeps running my life?"
• "Will this anxiety ever stop?"
• "I feel so alone. No one get's it."
• "This time, this diet will work."
• "There's no space for me to be who I really am."
• "If I speak up or take that risk, I won't belong anymore."
• "Is it my body or the world that's wrong?"
• "If I just tried harder, things would be ok."​​

​You end up feeling lost, alone, and confused if there is a way forward, another way to be for yourself and for the people you care about. It makes sense that it feels that way. And it doesn't have to. 

The truth is that you deserve a life where safety, dignity, and belonging all get to exist at the same time. You deserve to be able to show up whole in your body, in your life, and with the people who matter to you.

To choose to heal is a courageous move toward having the life you want

Trauma and oppression want to keep you small and from taking the steps to heal. They keep you in a loop of anxiety. You can't get the eating disorder voice out of your head. You can't be you. If you don't take action, you could keep feeling stuck. You might feel even more burnt out, more alone in it. You wonder what your purpose is. You keep feeling distracted and unsure of yourself and the world. Anxiety seems to run your day. You continue to be at war with your body. 

That is one possible future. It isn't the only one. You could reach out for help. Reaching out is a risk--a risk that might allow you to have more of what you want. 

​So much more is possible for you

You can have more choice. You can feel more alive. You can have a relationship to your body, to yourself, and to what you care about.  ​

What You Can Expect When You Reach Out

We know how hard it is to struggle, and to wonder if change is possible. Our team of therapists and counselors have dedicated ourselves to working with people to trust their bodies, to live from their values, to have relationships that matter, and to find more resilience in the face of trauma and oppression. We know how to work with people to have the lives they want. 

It can be hard to get started in your healing work, to reach out. We know that, and we’ll do everything we can to make the next steps as stress-free as possible. We can't wait to meet you, and to get started together.

The easiest way to get started with us is to schedule an initial consultation with our care coordinator. In this 15 minute call, we'll get to know more about you, match you with the best therapist for you and answer any questions. You can schedule directly below or visit our new client page to read more about getting started with us.

I have some questions

What Will My First Session Be Like?

We want you to find your peace of mind. Your first session will be about getting to know you. 

We will go over all the nitty gritty details  and set expectations about how we will work together. 

Your highly qualified therapist will let you know more about how we work at Have Heart and let you know about their unique approach to counseling.

You will practice to be in your body a little more. This could look like deep breathing, or orienting to your surroundings, feeling for what you care about, or feeling a bit more grounded. We want you to be learning to have a relationship with your body from the start! 

We will spend some time hearing a bit more about you, what your life looks like etc. 

In our first session we will never ask you what's wrong with you. You are not a problem to be fixed. Our brains are really good at orienting toward the negative. We want to start differently.  We want to affirm who you are and get to know you as we begin therapy. As adrienne maree brown says, "we move at the speed of trust." We know that trust takes time.

Have Heart's Story

In the tradition of Muay Thai or Thai boxing, a fighter is said to "have heart" when they show up with commitment, passion, and the drive to "leave it all in the ring." In short, to have heart means to be all in. That's something we can get behind. At Have Heart we have a strong commitment to the collective liberation of all peoples and to a vision of climate justice that allows life to thrive. Without healing, this work would be impossible. Our commitment to social justice requires that we all have heart.

Have Heart Wellness began in 2014 with the mission of offering heart centered and embodied politicized healing for those most affected by the impacts of trauma and oppression. We're still here and we're still committed to the same work. We're in it for the long haul with you and with the communities we're a part of.
