About Untangled Threads Psychology
Untangled Threads Psychology was founded to address gaps within the therapy space, as we believe every individual deserves to feel seen, heard, and understood by their therapists. Traditional therapeutic models were often developed from a predominantly Eurocentric perspective, overlooking how cultural, racial, and socioeconomic factors deeply influence mental health. Many clients from marginalized communities have faced a lack of understanding or empathy when seeking care, leaving them feeling misunderstood or alienated. Our mission is to bring more cultural competence into the therapy space, providing support for clients of color and other minority populations.
At Untangled Threads Psychology, we are committed to decolonizing the therapeutic space by recognizing the impact of race, ethnicity, and systemic oppression on mental health. We know that the traditional mental health field has often failed to acknowledge the full scope of challenges that people of color and other marginalized groups face. This includes cultural stigmas around mental health, underrepresentation in the mental health workforce, and the additional layers of stress related to discrimination and microaggressions.
Our Approach
The foundation of our practice is an attachment-based approach that recognizes how early relationships—especially with primary caregivers—shape the way we connect with others and understand ourselves. For many individuals from minority communities, these early attachments are often influenced by intergenerational trauma, which can span across families and communities. We work with our clients to untangle the emotional threads of past experiences, within a multicultural framework, because we recognize that mental health is deeply connected to cultural identity, historical context, and systemic experiences. Our approach is rooted in the understanding that healing cannot be separated from a person’s lived experience, including the intergenerational and cultural influences that shape their mental health.
Who We Serve
Untangled Threads Psychology serves individuals, families, and communities from diverse backgrounds, with a special focus on supporting people of color and other marginalized groups. Because mental health struggles are often compounded by complex layers of identity, including race, ethnicity, gender, and socioeconomic status, we work to understand each client’s unique intersectionality of these factors and how they shape one’s social, emotional, and psychological understanding of themselves and the world around them.
Our therapists are trained to offer culturally relevant, trauma-informed care that reflects the lived realities of our clients. We recognize that traditional Western therapeutic models are not always effective for everyone and, as such, we adapt our practice to be more inclusive of diverse cultural perspectives and healing practices. Whether you’re struggling with complex emotions from an entangled family dynamic or finding it difficult to cope with the state of the world today, we are here to help you untangle these threads and move towards growth, healing, and empowerment.
