As we celebrate Pride this month, may we remember that liberation is not a destination but a practice. May we continue to organize, advocate, care, and dream together. May we resist systems that diminish our humanity and strengthen the relationships that restore it.

For Daunte Henderson, LCSW, that relationship starts with something simple but powerful: creating a space where people feel seen, heard, and understood without judgment.

At According To Sykes, we view healing as more than symptom management. We believe that liberation from trauma involves reconnecting with ourselves, our communities, and our inherent capacity for healing, allowing us to move beyond survival and toward a more authentic and empowered life.
