Mutuality, LLC provides sustainable and accessible clinical mental health services and local community connections for anyone seeking healing, growth, and learning among like-minded individuals. Mutuality provides space for building awareness, empowerment, strategic action, and re-centering. This focus on anti-oppression work is rooted in life-long commitments to maintaining awareness and fulfilling ongoing needs for collective effort in allied action (Botha et al., 2024).
We are intentional about the ways we reckon with oppression and privilege along every axis of ranking systems located within every context we inhabit; age, disability, religious culture, ethnicity, social class culture, sexual orientation, indigenous heritage, national origin, and gender. We have endured marginalizing experiences and acknowledge operating from within a complex network of privileged Agent roles and oppressed Target roles (Nieto et al., 2012).
While psychotherapy licensing currently limits access to clinical services to people residing within the state of Colorado, we also provide queer- and neurodivergent-led coaching and consulting services and events to support personal and relational development beyond our local communities. With decades of experience designing, building, and maintaining digital systems, we also provide technical consulting, systems architecture, and hosting technology solutions for peer organizations.
While inhabiting Agent roles we radically accept challenging behaviors from people assigned to Target roles and seek to interpret such conflicts through a lens of liberatory action, a reclamation of that which was lost or stolen (Shkedy, Shkedy, & Sandoval-Norton, 2021). When we redirect the focus of change efforts from struggling and isolated people toward the systems, environments, and tasks which fail to consider competing sets of needs during initial design and implementation, we make space for permission to be authentically ourselves. We honor variability within intersectionality (Crenshaw, 1989).
