We Understand Systemic Oppression.
We want to offer nonjudgemental support as you heal and find more peace, liberation, and empowerment in your life, within yourself, and in your relationships.
Welcome!
We are Christina and Anja, the co-founders of Liberation EMDR. Liberation EMDR was born out of many dreaming sessions over (short-lived) pre-dawn workout classes, seafood boils, and bird-watching trips.
As friends, we understand the importance of being part of a community that can understand and support our unique experiences of minority stress. And as business partners, we acknowledge the importance of offering mental health support with clinicians who deeply understand how privilege impacts our ability to live a fully peaceful life.
Our teammates have lived experience with the traumas of systemic oppression and we believe that our shared passion to provide culturally-competent care at Liberation EMDR Therapy can have ripple effects into our communities.
We are glad that you found us and hope you find your favourite EMDR Practitioner among our team of registered clinicians. Thank you for supporting an IBPoC, queer, and trans-owned and run counselling business!
With warmth and gratitude,C & A
