D. Tate, MA, LPC (MO), LCPC (IL), ATR, REAT (she/they) (bottom row center).

Empowered Spaces would not be what it is today without these amazing individuals and their incredible commitment to healing work, community building, social justice, and collective transformation.

None of us have all the answers, and we all have so much to learn from one another.

From the beginning, it was part of my vision for Empowered Spaces to be a collaborative, co-created space that centers community. In service of this vision, as soon as I opened the doors to Empowered Spaces I formed the Advisory Circle.

We meet monthly to look at the needs of our community and to discuss how we can continue to grow and move forward in an intentional way as we work to cultivate a welcoming space that is aligned with our values of centering trauma-informed and resilience focused care, justice-driven action, and anti-racist solidarities.

This Circle has been a space for collaboration, inspiration, vulnerability, and ongoing learning and accountability. This has also been a space for us to challenge each other, and both ask and explore the hard questions. 

I am so incredibly grateful to know each of these individuals and have the opportunity to work and learn alongside them. All of these individuals work with such compassion, intention, and dedication. They operate from a place of integrity, in their work and in how they choose to be in this world. They each are committed to doing their own inner work and self-exploration - they would never expect anyone to do work that they are not engaging in themselves.

When you are in the presence of any one of them, you can feel in their energy how genuine and authentic they are at their core.
