You Are Wisdom

Affirming Ecological Group & Individual Psychotherapy

Welcome!

Group therapy can be a powerful container to come out of isolation, form impactful therapeutic relationships, and heal in community. Join us.

This group we will be held indoors to allow for privacy with seating suitable for varying bodies and abilities.

Sliding scale is available for those in need of fiscal support.

Someone once told me that civilization is the shared obliviousness to the fact that we haven’t gotten rid of wild things, and that they dwell “within” us—somewhere beneath the threshold of normalcy. This wildness, this darkness, is not an “other.” We are continually sourced, recreated, and reconfigured here.

Treatments

  • Queer + Trans Care

    We need therapy made for us, by people like us. As a queer and trans person, I enjoy helping queer and trans clients, especially those who have recognized their gender and are ready to share it with others.

  • Disordered Eating & Body Liberation

    Disordered eating may develop as a way to cope with chronic pain, gender oppression, or abandonment. It is can cause even greater pain in isolation.

    Let's disrupt the isolation of disordered eating, diet culture, and look towards liberation. I use a Health at Every Size, Fat-Positive, harm reduction, and Anti-Diet framework.

  • OCD

    When the overwhelm of anxiety becomes the fixed obsession and pain of ocd. We collaborate learning how to understand and navigate OCD thoughts and emotions.

modalities

  • This includes being in the “here and now”, exploring “life centered” conversations, and disrupting thoughts and behaviors planted by colonialism that might be hurting you today. Exploring the unconscious and conscious through the portal of the present moment. 

  • Consider affirming care and bring it up a notch. What happens when we’re acknowledged and celebrated? What happens when we acknowledge our pain enough and reach joy? 

  • Strenth-based is inherently feminist, anti-oppressive, and inclusive. What’s working in your life? What resources do you have? This is your life and your agency. 

  • When words fail us we may incorporate movement, drawing, painting, or collage to express and process. A favorite of Carl Jung’s daughter Emma.
