You’re here because you want to find a therapist that meets your needs specifically. Maybe you attempted to sign up for our program to get assistance in finding a therapist but were informed that our waiting list was full and you will have to apply during the next opening. We understand that waiting can be frustrating when the care you need is pressing, but due to our limited number of volunteers, we have to cap the list off at a certain amount. We created this Guide to Finding a Therapist in the hopes that this document will help you with the process of finding a therapist while you wait, and prepare you for navigating the mental healthcare industry while securing your therapy.

Zine based on a public health survey of people who take testosterone.

This zine is a public health art project designed to empower people transitioning on testosterone with knowledge, help us ask vital questions about our bodies and needs, and hopefully, make us all feel a little less alone. This zine was also designed for doctors, educators, therapists, and all those who care for transgender people to learn more about our experiences, struggles, and needs as they relate to medical transition using testosterone.

This zine is always free or donation for download. Creating it was a labor of love; the information belongs to the community.

We're on a mission to make therapy better by learning from everyone's mistakes-including our own.

Let's face it, therapy goes wrong sometimes. It's not a secret. But we don't talk about it enough! And research suggests that clinicians' skills don't just improve over time through some alchemy of attending continuing education courses and racking up client hours. So we wanted to find out-what happens when therapy goes wrong, and how can we become better therapists?

We are two Los Angeles-based mental health professionals, and on the Very Bad Therapy podcast, we hear guest stories about therapy gone wrong, get expert perspectives on what could have gone better, and take a look at current research to help clients-and clinicians-get the results they want out of therapy.

Activists and social change agents, restorative justice practitioners, faith leaders, and anybody engaged in social progress and shifting society will find this mindful approach to nonviolent action indispensable.

Nonviolence was once considered the highest form of activism and radical change. And yet its basic truth, its restorative power, has been forgotten. In Healing Resistance, leading Kingian Nonviolence trainer Kazu Haga blazingly reclaims the energy and assertiveness of nonviolent practice (utilized by the Women's March and Black Lives Matter), and proves that nonviolent civil resistance remains the most effective strategy for social change in hostile times. With over 20 years of experience practicing and teaching Kingian Nonviolence, Haga offers us the practical approach to societal conflict first begun by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. during the Civil Rights Movement, which has been developed into a fully workable, step-by-step training and deeply transformative philosophy. Kingian Nonviolence takes on the timely issues of endless protest and activist burnout, and presents tried-and-tested strategies for staying resilient, creating equity, and restoring peace.

Bel

"Kazu Haga breaks down Kingian Nonviolence and other justice and healing modalities in a way that makes them very accessible to a wide array of readers. I plan to give this to several elder activists--and my 14 year old niece."
Amazon Customer

"The book acts as a reminder that taking a principled stand on violence is the only way change has occurred in history, but also acknowledges that we need to love our whole selves and use our brains to step outside habitual patterns of trauma-triggered violence."
