Too often, standard mental health care dismisses or fails to consider fundamental elements of your personhood.
Ananse’s Wisdom Psychiatry recognizes that how you navigate and are received by the world is critical to understanding your mental health symptoms and planning for your treatment.

This approach offers the best care for every patient of every identity. You may find our approach particularly helpful if you resonate with any of the following:

• You are questioning any aspects of your identity

• You struggle with a sense of belonging in the spaces that you inhabit

• Aspects of your identify feel in conflict with each other

• You have experienced separation from your family, community, language, country, or culture

• You have experienced ‘out of home placement’ through foster care, kinship care, adoption, group homes, congregate care, residential facilities, reunification, guardianship, “aging out,” or signing a voluntary with DCF at 18+

• You have a personal e/immigration history

• You identify as a third culture kid (raised in an environment different from your parents culture and your country of origin during childhood developmental years)

• Generations or members of your family have different backgrounds that can cause conflicts within you or within the family

• You experience marginalization in your community due to aspects of your identity

• You find yourself contemplating how your mental health symptoms would change if aspects of your identity changed (or if the society around you responded differently to your identity)
