In her 20 years in the field as a psychotherapist,
clinical supervisor, adjunct professor, and
consultant, social justice and anti-racism has
been a focal point of Minou’s healing work. As a
consultant at Visions, Inc., she spent 10 years coleading intensive diversity workshops aimed at
creating multicultural environments that challenge
the “isms” within organizations. She is a member
of the Athens Black Therapist Collective and has
facilitated several process groups including the
ongoing (8 year) Phenomenal Women of Color
group and the yearlong Healing from Racism:
Therapist Process Group. She finds a deep sense
of purpose and fulfillment from assisting clients
from historically oppressed groups. The work
centers around affirming their experiences with
microaggressions and injustices, exploring ways
to advocate for themselves, identifying allies,
learning to set healthy boundaries, improving
their communication skills, and creating a plan for
psychological safety and self-care.
