What to Expect in Therapy

Therapy at MIIP is collaborative, trauma-informed, and attentive to the social and cultural contexts that shape your life. Your clinician will work at a pace that prioritizes safety, consent, and choice, recognizing that meaningful change happens when the nervous system is supported rather than pushed. You can expect care that is responsive to your identities, lived experiences, and values, and that remains curious about how culture, power, and history influence distress and resilience. Sessions may include conversation, reflection, skill-building, or experiential work, depending on your needs and your clinician’s approach. While each clinician brings their own training and style, the work is guided by a shared emphasis on nervous-system regulation, relational safety, and understanding patterns as they emerge. Therapy is not about fixing or forcing change, but about creating the conditions for understanding, integration, and growth.
