Our objectives
Radical Therapy Center provides trauma informed, client-centered services and products that have an intentional anti-oppression lens. RTC transforms the typical therapeutic space that only functionally meets our clients’ basic needs into an empowering environment that cultivates self-healing. RTC supports our clients and community to reach new levels of resilience, healing, and pleasure through carefully curated trainings, workshops, and therapy.
Radical Therapy Center has been a dream in the making since 2016. While in a moment of big organizational transition, we aspire to create a soothing, therapeutic space where QTBIPOC & marginalized clientele could find highly-skilled clinicians of color to companion their healing journey. As a collective, we attend regular trainings on cutting edge topics like anarchist therapy and anti-oppressive facilitation to be sure we are using the most radical approaches to address the ways our clients are surviving systems of domination like white supremacy, colonialism, and racialized capitalism.
RTC is fully virtual now, but we hope to have a physical office in the future again.
About Us
Sonalee, Marvin, Aybala, and Dana have been colleagues since 2019, having met as social workers in Philadelphia looking for a safe workplace for our radical values. We enjoy talking about the future of radical social work over a hot bowl of thai curry and glazed donuts. We are a blend of analytical and fiercely kind therapists, who can help you work through the stickiest stuck points with political depth and compassionate care.
Why Radical?
OUR MISSION
Radical Therapy Center believes deeply in the benefits of politicized therapeutic spaces.
We believe therapists do not heal people. Instead we help our clients tap into the skills they already have to heal themselves.
We believe in the abolition of all binaries, prisons, and supremacisms.
We believe in focusing on the healing of those at the cultural bottom. Those at the top already have access to help.
