Get to Know Us!
The Compassionate Anti-Racism Project is guided and created by Black Psychotherapists, Xanthia Johnson (she/her) & Kristian Owens (she/her).
Kristian and Xanthia are 2 D.C.-based, black, integrative neuro-psychotherapists. They have extensive post graduate professional training in trauma-focused therapy and the expressive arts. The Compassionate Anti-Racism Project creates an opportunity for Xanthia & Kristian to integrate their passion of neurobiological healing from trauma through the use of holistic brain-based interventions.
They are both certified Jivana yoga teachers. They are both Registered Play Therapists. Xanthia is a Certified Sound Bath Meditation healer and the owner of Urban Playology, LLC. Kristian is a reiki practitioner and the owner of Resilient Child Therapy Institute, LLC.
All the dope healing feels, ya know?…
We met at a play therapy training about 10 years ago and the rest is history.
What Others Are Saying
About Us
Working with Xanthia and Kristian has been a profound experience. From the initial consultation, to trainings, and private consultations, I felt held in my journey with anti-racism. Through the way they held space and utilized somatic processing, I felt I was truly able to tune into what it means to be a compassionate anti-racism ally.
Emma Goldman, MSW
We are so grateful for Xanthia and Kristian for their thoughtful work in guiding us through our practice’s compassionate anti-racism journey. Since the very first minutes of our initial meeting with [them], my partner and I have always felt incredibly safe and comfortable with them.
Megan Fiore, PsyD, RPT-S
We cannot speak more highly about the quality and content of the training and consultations we’ve participated in. Not only are we learning while we’re with Xanthia and Kristian, but we bring that learning back to our next team meetings, further strengthening the allyship that we are building. We have recommended this training to others, and believe that it would be of great value to any clinician eager to be a compassionate anti-racist ally.
Nicole Jalazo Halpern, LCSW, RPT-S
Xanthia and Kristian are inviting people, partners, families, teams, and systems into the deep and profoundly changing work they lead through their unique model and approach. They understand how people go into overwhelm and shame and guilt. The work they offer is radically different because of this trauma informed lens. This lens will support your deeper learning and support you in conversations with others.
Amy Babish, MA, LPC, ATR-BC
Anti-racism is a journey, not a destination, and we’re here to compassionately guide you through it, so you can use your privilege to humbly support people of color!
