White Abolitionist with Zach Gray


Listen Later

Zach Gray is more than simply a white guy from Michigan! He is very intentional about empowering individuals and families to reach their fullest potential. In Zach's Psychology Today profile he says, "our stories and life experiences are valuable and important; they  inform the way we navigate and see the world". Zach believes it is possible to find healing and create change in one's life in a way that helps you find the best quality of life." Zach has lived through it and come out on the other side. I believe that we are worth all of the hard work to get to where we want to be. His clinical interests include trauma, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, interpersonal dynamics, substance use needs, relationship issues, anger management, self-exploration, and identity development. He is intentional about creating a safe and accepting space for individuals of all different backgrounds and walks of life. Cultural competency is important to him and it is something he consistently learns about both through education and the stories from individuals within his community. He values and respects everyones life experiences.
