In Part 2 of our Healing in the Margins series, licensed therapist Ashley Hampton returns to Mind Amendment to unpack what it really means to create spaces that are not only inclusive but truly affirming for BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities.

This conversation goes beyond buzzwords and into the heart of the matter: Why marginalized people are still being underserved in clinical spaces. Ashley dives deep into the difference between being seen and being tokenized, between performative inclusion and real belonging and how decolonizing mental health care starts with shifting who’s centered in the room. We explore how trauma lives in the body, why holistic care matters, and what it takes to build a therapeutic space where every part of you is allowed to exist. Whether you’re a clinician, a client, or an advocate for change, this episode is a call to reimagine healing not as a privilege, but as a human right.

This is your mind. This is your moment. What will you do with it?
