At Dandelion Counseling & Care, we recognize the systematic oppression deeply embedded in societies worldwide, which has continued to disproportionately impact marginalized communities. We recognize that these communities historically and presently continue to be subjected to social, economic, and political inequities that continue to shape their lived experiences today. Racism’s impact on not only individuals but entire communities has reinforced cycles of disadvantage, silencing voices, and restricting opportunities. As a practice committed to Anti-Racism, we affirm the importance of not only standing in solidarity with marginalized groups but also making active stances and measures to educate ourselves and taking actions to challenge and dismantle the structures that continue to perpetuate inequities.
At Dandelion Counseling & Care, we believe in creating an inclusive environment for clients of all races, genders, sexual orientations, and religions. We are focused on providing safe and welcoming spaces for our diverse clientele. Our team’s diversity aids in our ability to cater to the various backgrounds of our clients. All of our providers value and affirm the unique differences that our clients bring to the therapeutic space. Therefore, we are committed to provide culturally sensitive care that is free of any judgements and/or discrimination.
Dandelion Counseling & Care is located in Washington, DC and we acknowledge that we work on the unceded lands of the Piscataway and Nacotchtank (Anacostan) peoples.
