Our Mission

Inclusive, Affirming, and Compassionate Therapy

The mission of Gentle Growth Counseling

We wholeheartedly believe in social justice and equity. All therapists have a passion in healing work and improving lives and from where we stand, this can’t begin and end at the individual level. We are committed to working towards the end of oppression and injustice which impacts the lives of us all and especially the most vulnerable among us. This is why we do not want there to be any question whether this practice is inclusive and affirming. We will meet you where you are and how you come. We will believe you and stand with you. We know you deserve dignified compassionate treatment. With systems of oppressions in place that benefit from your insecurity and isolation, the most powerful thing you can do is love yourself unconditionally. We can get there together.

We can’t hate ourselves into a version of ourselves that we can love,
— Lori Deschene

The magic ingredient to therapy is the relationship with your therapist. We are committed to creating a safe space for you. Book a consultation to learn more about our process.
