Home Grown Therapist Fellowship
The Home-Grown Therapists Fellowship was created as a component of ExpresArte’s programming with the purpose of supporting therapists of color in the Central Valley who are on the journey of becoming licensed therapists, and for licensed therapists to unlearn their biases and the ones inherent in the Medical Industrial Complex. Members of the cohort will be supported with tools, training, coaching, and programming centered on decolonizing therapy and building relationships in the community rooted in trust, culture, and healing justice.
Applications for the 2021 cohort are closed.
