Nothing traumatizes the human spirit more than the imposition of an absolute upon it. This is because an emperor takes form that directly informs. Tragically, "communication" is neither imagined nor whispered.
About Us
Welcome. I am Sunni - a trauma counselor and educator - and I am Brian - a communicator and organizer. We are committed to offering rights-based services that promote resilient and sustainable communities in a world that demands our response.
What sets us apart?
Our capacity to respond to both trauma and systemic oppression. This is why we believe "communication" is so important.
Our primary goal is to offer frameworks for understanding our environment that move beyond the taken-for-granted assumptions of what has been psychologized, what has been institutionalized, and those who have been granted a harmful amount of discretion in It.
Our intentions are to expand in our experiences of identities, relationships, and cultures.
Our Services
Our field of experience spans across the contexts of embodied trauma patterns; narrative-based support; communication ethics literacy; personality patterns; interpersonal, relational, family, intercultural, and organizational communication perspectives; communication for social change; and counselor education.
