What People Are Saying

*

Filipino American therapy

Andy, PhD student

"Seeing Kate, a social justice-oriented Filipina therapist, was game-changing for my healing journey. Kate was so supportive, patient, sharp, and she always empowered me to collaborate with her to personalize my sessions. She guided me through exploring the grief, anxiety, and guilt laden in my academic career, Filipinx family dynamics, and community with such tenderness and compassion. I now have the tools to accept all parts of myself and give each side of me a proper space to be heard and validated. I truly wish for everyone to have an experience of such self-awareness and self-love as I did with Kate’s guidance!"

Kirthi, new mother

"I am thankful for the drop-in support group for Asian American mothers that Kate offers. I really appreciate her facilitation and the way she holds space, and comes from a trauma-informed, heart-centered and decolonizing framework."

Michelle, new mother

"As an AAPI woman and new mom, Kate and her First-Year Moms group were a godsend! Kate provided a safe space to connect with other moms and walked us through ways to decolonize the system that mothers are born into. This group provided an opportunity for me to appreciate my transformation as a woman and as a mother; I felt seen, understood, and better equipped to navigate societal constructs while maintaining my individuality. I am so thankful for Kate's guidance and the strength I gained from everyone in my group."

"I miss our decolonizing mom village sessions. I seriously didn't want them to end!"

Marley, postpartum mother

Land Acknowledgement

The Space for Kapwa team acknowledges the lands on which we conduct our work as unceded territories of the Tamien, Ohlone, and Coastal Miwok people. As settler-descendent, non-indigenous people, we recognize our privilege to be guests on this land, provide for ourselves from here, and benefit from the land's resources. As part of our commitment to decolonization, which in its simplest form means returning the land to its indigenous inhabitants, Space for Kapwa makes annual contributions to the Tamien Nation Voluntary Land Tax.
