It acknowledges the impacts of colonization and systemic oppressions on mental health and well-being. This can include intersectionalites (how various aspects of identity such as race, gender, sexuality, class and how they intersect). Addressing power imbalances in the therapeutic relationship and empowering individuals to take an active role in their healing process. Decolonized therapy emphasizes the importance of community supports and collective healing. The individual well-being is connected to the well-being of the community.
