At Live
Oak, we strive to recognize the consequences of privilege, oppression, discrimination
and stigma, and therefore practice psychotherapy, consultation, and training
that affirms the value of difference. In responding to systems of
marginalization, people and communities often cope in ways that magnify
feelings of shame, low self-esteem, and disconnection. Our intention of
affirmative and inclusive approach is based on an understanding of an
integrative change process, and therefore provides our clients with
opportunities to reduce the disintegrating effects of power and privilege to
promote self- actualization and integration. We aspire to emphasize the extent
to which growth and connection is enhanced more from our differences than from
our similarities.
