Peer Support Sessions

Peer Support sessions are an opportunity for a 1:1 supportive call (phone or zoom). These are gentle, nonjudgemental times for reflection, brainstorming, and processing. These calls are not therapy or a medical intervention. They are guided by restorative practices and an educational lens-- pedagogical healing work as opposed to medical healing work. You're welcome to discuss mental health, healing, spirituality, queerness, gender, sexuality, art making, nonmonogamy, or whatever feels best to you!
**Session Types:**
*30-minute call:* You have a shorter question or smaller topic to work through. Zoom or phone.
*60-minute call:* You have a broader topic or question. Zoom or phone.
*Relationship support call:* You need a moderated, neutral conversation with a loved one (friend, family member, partner, etc). These sessions are 1.5hrs and must be held on zoom.

“Thank you from the bottom of my heart for holding that space, for being so gentle and compassionate, and for helping me find a glimpse of somatic calmness. I’m moved by the raw and comforting humanness you allowed me to encounter, and thereby once again reminded to punish myself less for parts of my humanness that expressed itself in (possibly quite necessary) ways, I currently can’t appreciate as much. I’ll surely check out the additional resources, thank you very much for pointing them out. I’m eagerly looking forward to return for more peer support sessions in the future, it really made a difference for me.”
