Centering the Margins in Healthcare

Journey Wellness was launched November 2016 by clinical sexologist and sex educator, Talena “Lena” Queen (she/they), M.Ed., LCSW, as an intersectional trauma-responsive social justice outpatient therapy practice to ensure comprehensive mental health and sex therapy, in addition to, sexuality and gender education were accessible to queer and non-queer communities. An intersectional approach honors how race, culture, gender, class, ability, spirituality, and power affects the lived experience of a person.

Informed by the post-modern sexological theory Black Sexual Epistemology (Gilbert, 2019), The Erotic Self is the decolonizing intersectional queer & trans inclusive point of view (POV) of the sexual lived experience of Black folx of African American descent. This ground-breaking theory affirms what Black folx have known all along- our sexual pleasure is rooted in our sexual healing. 

Unfortunately, the impact of harmful and oppressive societal and sexual messaging, the lack of support for trauma survivors, and the continued ignoring or minimizing of Black pain leads to support, services, & training rooted in sexal shame and sexual guilt instead of providing  affirming and compassionate engagement  for the achievement of sexual empowerment & healing.

The WHOLE-Self Healing Institute, Inc. (TWSHI) is the home to Somatic Clinical Sexologist Lena Queen's brand of decolonizing and intersectional sexual healing, liberation, and instruction. The Institute was founded to be a place of personal and professional learning of sexual healing, particularly Black sexual healing.

The WHOLE-Self Healing Institute, Inc. offers professional development training in  erotic coaching, relationship coaching, Intersectional Cogntive Behavior Therapy & Approach, Somatic Sex Therapy. Additionally, for personal development, the TWSHI offers Healing The Erotic Self Coaching Program, hypotherapy, tarot coaching and training, and other wholistic healing practices.
