Jae Richardson (she/her/hers) is the 2020-2021 Radical Healing BIPOC Training Fellow

I am a Black, femme, clinical social work intern at North Carolina Central University and completing my 2nd  year clinical internship experience at Radical Healing. I am also a healer, energy worker and teacher. Through my own rootwork, I discovered my calling was to engender three things in my work: Healing is resistance. Magic is resistance. Resistance is liberation. 

I use collaboration, affirmation and empowerment to support others in their own healing work and practice from a social justice, holistic and afro-spirituality framework. I also integrate skills from CBT, EMDR and DBT into my counseling work. To ensure I'm delivering the highest level of care, I'm training with David Young Oh, LCMHC, at Radical Healing, as my clinical task supervisor. 

My passion towards individual and collective healing stems from own trauma work. My desire to break down generational traumas runs deeply and vibrationally. As marginalized individuals, we must heal our communities on a spiritual, vibrational, and psychological level, and I am honored to walk with you in your journey towards finding the ancestral power within you.

In addition to counseling, I am a facilitator of safe-r spaces where I support grounding meditations, rituals and spell-workings.
