About the practice
Hana Gutierrez Therapy knows therapy is POLITICAL.
So many of us have internalized vicious narratives about our identities from the white supremacist oppressive system. Whether passed down from caregivers or from lived experience; these narratives can turn uniqueness and non-traditional ways of being into points of shame. Toxic shame leaving identities in shambles.
In my therapy work I strive to assist clients in reclaiming their identities and writing their own narrative. I especially enjoy working with people re-authoring narratives about trauma, identity (including but not limited to race, gender, and sexuality) and families of origins.
As a therapist, it is important for me to create a space where one can be curious of the status quo and question the immutability of their beliefs.
I take an eclectic approach to therapy using a variety of modalities with inspiration taken from Narrative, IFS, ACT, feminist, and anti- capitalist theories.
I believe all people have an innate will to change and hope our time together can assist you in manifesting the courage and support to do so.
