You belong here.
Imagine your deepest knowing.
See it reflected back to you.
It bounces, moving in a new direction.
Things shift and fall into place.
Color. New Patterns. Play.
Possibilities. Growth.
Kaleidoscopes allow us to play, shift, and see things differently. To work, they need light, reflection, and a space that holds the colorful pieces so they can realign.
People need those things, too.
Play. Light. Reflection. Shadow. Being seen.
Knowing we matter and belong.
Someone to help us hold all the pieces so that we can see them more clearly.
Space for reclaiming our stories, our trust with our bodies, and our own knowing.
That’s the space you’ll find here at Kaleidoscope Growth.
Queer-affirming, survivor-led therapy, consultation, learning and unlearning, and community-building: transforming the world so that all bodies have what they need to thrive.
You belong here
This is for you if…
You belong here if you've ever felt like you were too much or not enough. If the world has tried to convince you that your body, your identity, your story is the problem. If you're exhausted by systems that were never built for you—and you’re still looking for something better.
We work with folx who are queer and trans, fat, Black, Brown, Indigenous, disabled, chronically ill, neurodivergent, survivors of sexual exploitation and abuse — and anyone else who has experienced harm and is ready to start living into their own truest story.
Hi! I’m Christina!
I'm a queer non-binary survivor, Certified Body Trust® Provider, and social worker. More importantly, I'm a person reclaiming trust in my own body, learning to trust my own experience, and trying to survive in this world. My work includes individual, group, and family therapy, educational programs for community members and providers, writing, advocacy, and community organizing. I've been a therapist for almost 20 years, but I've been in my own therapy for even longer, reckoning with the impact of my lived experiences of sexual exploitation and abuse. I'm here doing this work right alongside you, as a person reclaiming Body Trust®.
What We’re Building Together
Kaleidoscope Growth is an experimental space for embodied collective liberation.
We're building a collective of queer, trans, fat, disabled, neurodivergent, creative folx seeking community and dreaming toward something better — using the tools of Body Trust®, intersectional Black queer feminist organizing, therapy, and collective praxis.
Here, the personal is inextricably linked to the political. Our individual healing is connected to our movement work. None of this is separate. This is how we move together toward freedom.
This isn't (just) therapy — it's healing from a more grounded, radical place

"Your body has been with you in every experience of your lifetime. Every breath you've taken, every beat of your heart, every movement, thought, feeling, and experience.
Your body has been there for all of it.
Your body has a story. And that story matters."
— Hilary Kinavey & Dana Sturtevant, Reclaiming Body Trust: A Path to Liberation and Healing
