Meet Your Host- Tori "Xavi" Becerra

Hi, I’m Xavi, a Queer and Latine clinical counselor, and I’m excited to be hosting this space. In my work, I have experience supporting queer, BIPOC, and immigrant communities, with a special focus on trans individuals. This group is designed to offer a supportive, affirming, and collaborative space where you can process the challenges of today’s world—whether it’s navigating stress, feeling the weight of societal pressures, or exploring how resistance and rest show up in your life. I’m here to help guide the conversation and create a space where you can feel understood and empowered as you share and grow together.

Frequently asked questions

Where does it take place?

The group will be held over zoom. Once booked, you'll receive a zoom link for the event date.

Who is this group for?

This group is for BIPOC folks tired of holding it all together alone and navigating stress in a world that doesn’t always see or hear us. We especially welcome queer and trans BIPOC. This is an inclusive, affirming space where you don’t have to be “okay” to show up. Just come as you are.

What type of topics are covered?

Topics include rest as resistance, racial trauma, boundaries, social media overwhelm, ancestral healing, joy as medicine, identity and belonging, and collective grief. Each session holds space for reflection, grounding, and care.
