Courtney Watson

My psychotherapeutic work is informed by Intersectional, Queer and Postcolonial feminist theories with an applied social justice lens. Clients can expect us to explore the various cultural identities they hold (ethnic, regional, religious, etc) and see how they influence their presenting issues. We look at intergenerational patterns starting from Family of origin messages traveling backwards to survival strategies passed down from historical cultural traumas. We talk about ancestoral connection and bring in aspect of spirituality that are important to clients. This is non-traditional psychotherapy informed most by the needs of the individual client. Doorway Therapeutics is the Bay Area’s premiere counseling practice offering integration services to People of Color and Queer folks by Queer and POC practitioners. Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy coming in 2021.
