First Semester

Second Semester
May - July, 2027

In the second trimester, the group will focus on the present, on practice, and what we want to let go of. We will read and work with a reading selection from But What Will People Say? Navigating Mental Health, Identity, Love, and Family Between Cultures by Sahaj Kaur Kohli, MAEd, LGPC.

Third Semester
September - November, 2027

In the third trimester, the group will focus on the future, growth, integration, and what we want more of. We will read and work with the article The Soul of Therapy: The Therapist’s Use of Self in the Therapeutic Relationship by Harry Joseph Aponte, PhD.

Finances.

This payment structure is inspired and informed by the justice-oriented models put forth by Worts & Cunning Apothecary, Dr. Bayo Akomolafe, and Corporeal Writing. In an effort to reflect disparity in economic condition and access to wealth, the following payment system is designed for those with more wealth to help cover the costs of those with less access to wealth and resources. We trust your discernment of your current financial situation and how you fit into the global economic context.

As you decide what amount to pay, please consider your present-day financial situation governed by income, but also the following factors: historical discrimination faced by your peoples; your access to income and financial wealth, both current and anticipated (retirement, savings, investments, expectation of an inheritance; how easily could you earn more income compared to other people in your community, country, and world); people counting on your financial livelihood including dependents and community members; the socio-economic conditions of your locale (relative to other places in your country and in the world); your relationship to food & resource scarcity.

This is a closed group and participation requires a commitment to the entire nine active months. The group can be paid per month (on the 1st of each month of participation) of per semester (on the 1st of January, May, and September).

About the facilitator:

My name is Onyx Fujii and I am a mixed race clinical social worker in private practice on unceded Lenni-Lenape land, colonially known as Philadephia, PA.

Most of my core identities are multifaceted and liminal. I was raised by a Japanese immigrant father and a 3rd generation American, Eastern European Jewish mother. I am neurodivergent and have lived with multiple chronic illnesses since childhood. I am queer and still fail to find connection to gender as a collective experience.

Professionally I balance my time between my private practice (offering therapy, clinical supervision, and consultation) and my role as co-director of the Kintsugi Therapist Collective. Personally I am a parent and dog parent , a creative writer and occasional art maker, a beachcomber, and an avid home cook. My professional practices, writing and art center the intersections of identity, trauma, (in)visibility, and connection.

Please note:

Therapists do not need to be fully licensed to participate, however, the KTC Mixed Identity Clinical Alliance is a consulting relationship and not clinical supervision. Services do not count towards licensure and unlicensed therapists will need to have a clinical supervisor in the state in which they are practicing.

You can contact Onyx with questions about the group via email. Applications will be read on a rolling basis with a focus on maintaining an intimate, generative environment.
