About Healing Arts Collaborative:
Healing Arts Collaborative (HAC) is a community-driven therapy and healing arts practice based on Occaneechi, Shakori, Cheraw, Tuscarora, Lumbee, and Catawba ancestral land (commonly called Durham, NC and Charlotte, NC). We are mental healthcare workers committed to providing safe, affirming, and culturally competent healthcare for our 2SLGBTQIA+ community in a private practice setting.
HAC practitioners are committed to decolonial, abolitionist, anti-racist, anti-ableist and liberation principles in our work and personal lives. Our therapy style is person-centered, trauma-informed, queer- and gender-celebratory, sex-positive, fat positive, anti-oppressive, and creative. We value personal and collective artistic, musical, movement-based, dramatic, and written expression, and hold space for these liberatory practices in and outside of therapy sessions.
We are inspired by wellness frameworks that acknowledge the impact of personal, community, and environmental relationships and systems of oppression on a person's development, health, and well-being, including Healing Justice, Relational-Cultural Counseling, Health at Every Size, Harm Reduction, Social Justice Art Therapy.
We work together with our clients to challenge the Medical Industrial Complex, white supremacy, ableist cis-hetero patriarchy, and related oppressive systems by naming individual and collective experiences of oppression and learning to live into our innate power. More information about our practice is available at healingartscollaborative.com.
