Anti-Racist Psychotherapy:

Confronting Systemic Racism and Healing Racial Trauma

w/David Archer

The purpose of CelesteTheTherapist is to help shift the way you think. Many times, we get stuck in a negative cycle and struggle with getting out. Celeste will interview guests from different backgrounds who empower people in different capacities.

Listen to Celeste & David Archer MSW, MFT, Psychotherapist and author of Black Meditation, introduce the uninterrupted story of racism and how healing can come from knowing all of its hidden chapters. In this episode, discover how racism is defined as a psychological response and stay tuned on the next episode; Black Meditation by David Archer.

His expertise has been influenced by the principles of mindfulness, intersectional feminism, and critical race theory. He is one of the few mental health professionals in Canada who can provide EMDR, Brainspotting, EFT, and other mind-body strategies utilizing memory reconsolidation and working memory taxation methods.

recently released his second book called Black Meditation (https://amzn.to/3DF0Vh2). It is about self-care, cultivating a positive Black racial identity, and bringing awareness about meditation. My first was called Anti-Racist Psychotherapy (https://amzn.to/3b0iqvT) which I released in Feb 2021 which discusses the social construction of racial trauma
