Telehealth psychotherapy for LGBTQIA+ humans and relationships located in WA, ID, or FL
“Queer not as being about who you are having sex with, but queer as being about the self that is at odds with everything around it and has to invent and create and find a place to speak and to thrive and to live.” - Bell Hooks
Queer therapy at my practice empowers and nurtures the diverse ways of being that LGBTQIA+people embody by providing counseling, consultation, education, support groups, and coaching that uplifts queer, trans and gender expansive lives. All services at Courageous You are queer informed and affirming with an emphasis on queer resilience and vitality and creating safe spaces for queer folx to live their most authentic lives. This is so important to me, because as a queer person I understand the difference it makes having a therapist who gets it.
Here at Courageous You, I utilize strengths-based, person-centered, trauma-informed, and evidence-based treatment modalities in my work with queer folx. As a queer human myself, I integrate aspects of queer theory, mindfulness and embodiment practices, sex-positive, and relationship affirming treatment, and social justice advocacy in my work.
Engaged and open, my therapeutic style is grounded in intersectionality, queer liberation and compassion. Vital to the work we’ll do, is understanding how cultural and social structures impact your mental health, alongside your family of origin story that influences how you show up today. I pull from attachment theory, parts work, and many other relevant modalities as needed with each unique client I work with.
You’re the driver of your healing, and the expert of your own story. You set the goals of therapy, as well as the pace at which we’ll work. I value where you want to go in your work, and actively seek not to impose my own agenda onto you. The parts of you that have been abused, removed, neglected, and devalued are welcome here.
Remember, you are resilient; in spite of your trauma, hardship and struggles. Each of us has the ability to heal ourselves, often with loving, boundaried and challenged support. It would be an honor to work with you and be a part of your healing journey.
