liberatory care

At Calamansi Counseling we fiercely reject injustice in all of it’s forms. Our work is guided by our social justice values and anchored in healing that is liberatory, culturally integrative, and LGBTQIA2S+ affirming. Our practice is located on the ancestral homelands of the Piscataway Conoy Tribe. We are in gratitude to the Indigenous people for being stewards of these Lands for generations before us and reckon with what it means to settle upon and occupy stolen Lands not native to us. Each month our practice actionably returns wealth to the Piscataway Land Trust in support of Indigenous-led efforts to rematriate ancestral land and sovereignty to the Indigenous peoples of the Chesapeake region. We are constantly developing our awareness of the interconnecting systems of oppression that exist to maintain imbalances in power, privilege, influence, and opportunity, and desire to position our work as healers in pursuit of social justice and collective liberation. We strive to engage with an anti-oppressive lens in consciousness and through embodied practice, intentionally moving toward resisting eurocentrism as the norm, while simultaneously acknowledging and dismantling the ways we have internalized and may perpetuate colonial values, processes, and practices.
