Peer Counseling offers a therapeutic space to process and work through goals/issues. This type of counseling can also offer opportunities such as the choice to decenter the DSM, while dismantling certain authority and power structures within your mental health care. Personal history, self-study, and years of practice will be used to promote safety, wellbeing, and healing.
