Jules Perkél
Thank you for visiting my Therapy That Liberates listing – my name is Jules and I use she/her/ella pronouns. I am a daughter, sibling, niece, cousin, partner, dog-parent, community member, organizer, activist and Earth being. I am trained as a trauma psychotherapist and clinical social worker, and since 2011 have worked in a community based program in the field of domestic violence/intimate partner violence with the intersection of disability. I also work as a trainer, facilitator and consultant for A Call To Men, MPG Consulting and Respectful Confrontation (please view my resources page on my website for more info). My life and work practice is deeply influenced by Black radical politics and tradition, Black liberation psychology, Critical Race Theory as well as ancient and traditional healing wisdoms.
In my practice I hold space for a variety of people, topics and vibrations. In my mind, heart, body, spirit and core, I value bringing social/healing justice, abolition and liberation perspectives to movement and aspire to consider the ways trauma, historical contexts, power, oppression, bias, privilege, access, diversity, equity, belonging and inclusion are in the mix with us in our life journey. Connected to the intersectional identities of the people I hold space for, aspects of my own identities and social locations inform a commitment to provide therapy, consultation and workshop facilitation infused with compassion, curiosity and courageousness.
Guided by these elements and also the wisdoms and principles of those who came before me, and whom I continue to learn from, I see healing as a journey and dedication that each person extends towards parts of themselves, their ancestors, and their respective communities. In cultivating and nurturing this, we have an opportunity to collaborate towards a deeper presence, awareness, balance and flow.
