“In today’s society life seems to never stop. My practice aims to build an inclusive, diverse, holistic, and healthy society. Where individuals and organizations enhance their inclusive practices. Our trainings and consulting services aim to support your organization, employeers, and stakeholders thrive in wellness.I acknowledge how difficult it is to make the decision to seek support. Seeking support for personal or institutional challenges is an act of bravery. I realize how stigmatized the topics of race, racism, diverity, equity, and inclusion or even strong emotions are in our society, and at times we may feel shame. In my practice, I aim to serve as a platform free of judgment that allows you to speak your deepest pain and discomfort. To support you in establishing a channel of healthy communication within your agency or between your body and your mind.” - Dr. Vilna Tejeda, DSW, MSW, LICSW

Upcoming Group Sessions
In groups, we will develop a community with shared interests and experiences. We will learn to listen and be heard. We can openly and safely express thoughts and feelings to enhance our self-awareness. Our groups are a supportive environment where we can grow, evolve, strategize, and develop proactive tools to improve our functioning as a collective.
Redefining Parenting for Black & Latinx Communities
In this workshop series, we will identify individual parenting styles. Explore how this style aligns with our values and goals as parents. Explore parent guilt and parenting blocks. We will explore cultural myths about parenting and how we can influence positive change in our children.
