Zoë Rawson

Zoë believes that shared experiences with one another are how we grow and make sense of ourselves in the world. This is the beauty and power of therapy. It offers the opportunity to have a purposeful, connected, and healing experience, contributing to deeper self-awareness and intimacy with others. Together, you and Zoë will engage in present moment awareness, acknowledging and releasing what defenses no longer serve you, and embracing a new authentic shape that allows for agency and self-actualization.  

Zoë takes her role in supporting this collaborative work very seriously while also holding space for the fundamental importance of the power each of us has to lead our own healing. In therapy, you will explore how your body and mind interact. You will lean into a sensory experience of spaciousness for what is possible and examine together what is being called to change. Zoë’s practice is highly relational. She invites the inclusion of intersectional identities and the work of self-liberation from oppressive and harmful structures that directly impact our physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health. 

Zoë received her Masters of Social Work at Portland State University in 2001. She practiced as a licensed clinical social worker in Rhode Island before shifting career focus towards supporting grassroots justice movements to create community-led care alternatives to incarceration and criminalization. This work helped her develop a deeper understanding of trauma and its relationship to structural violence against people and communities. She is highly influenced by Black, femme and queer-led transformative movements and bring healing justice as a fundamental right into the therapeutic setting. She has extensive experience working with grief and loss, post-traumatic growth, addiction, harm reduction and recovery, youth and adolescent development, identity development, cultural healing, intergenerational trauma, family and relationship co-dependency, boundary development, parts work, shadow work, restorative and transformative justice and nature-based therapy.
