Who We Are
Agenda Counseling & Wellness (ACW) is a culturally grounded mental health practice built with intention. We specialize in serving individuals from historically underserved and marginalized communities, including LGBTQIA+ clients, Black and Brown professionals, and those navigating identity, trauma, burnout, and systemic stress. While our focus is rooted in equity and liberation, we welcome all clients who align with our values and commitment to meaningful healing.
ACW was founded on a simple but powerful belief: healing should not require you to shrink, code-switch, or over-explain your existence. Our work centers identity-affirming, trauma-informed care that honors the complexity of your lived experience. We integrate evidence-based approaches such as CBT, EMDR, attachment-focused work, and culturally responsive practices to help clients move from survival to alignment.
Whether you are redefining relationships, processing trauma, rebuilding after burnout, or stepping into a new chapter of life, ACW provides a collaborative and grounded therapeutic space. We believe therapy is not about fixing you — it is about helping you reclaim your power, clarify your values, and define your own agenda.
First on the Agenda is Healing.
