We kept returning to the question, “How do we, two chronically ill therapists achieve sustainability and liberation in private practice, while also caring for complicated bodies, raising children, and facing ongoing experiences of trauma and oppression?” KTC is our answer. Asher recently interviewed Onyx on their podcast Living in This Queer Body: Episode 50 - listen now! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6191a60d71dd59539a92fa48/8c959814-ab16-4a11-847c-cfa64bc0282c/Onyx+Fujii+-+2023+headshot.jpg Directors - Meet Onyx A. Onyx Fujii, LCSW (PA) Psychotherapist, Clinical Supervisor, Group Facilitator, Cultural Humility Consultant, and Writer Cancer Sun / Virgo Moon / Scorpio Rising they/them I am a queer, non-binary, chronically ill, culturally Jewish, mixed race clinical social worker in private practice in Philadephia (on unceded Lenni-Lenape land). I unjustly benefit from socioeconomic and educational privilege, skin privilege, and proximity to whiteness. Healing justice is at core of my multidisciplinary practice where I offer trauma-informed, anti-oppressive psychotherapy, clinical supervision, and cultural humility facilitation and consultation; focusing on the intersections of gender, sexual orientation, race, chronic illness and disability. I received a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Creative Writing from Sarah Lawrence College in 2006 and a Masters of Social Work from Smith College School for Social Work in 2012. I completed training in Eye Movement and Desensitization from the EMDRIA Institute in 2018. My professional practices and writing center the intersections of identity, trauma, (in)visibility, and connection. Outside of my professional roles, I am a parent, a creative writer and occasional art maker, a beachcomber, and an avid home cook. I find restoration in ocean air, a warm bed, memoirs, and long urban walks. If you live in PA, and have an interest in psychotherapy sessions, I occasionally have openings in my private practice. I also offer clinical supervision to PA-based LSWs working towards clinical licensure and to fully-licensed therapists nationally and internationally.

I am an art-maker, an activist, a psychotherapist, a podcaster, a group facilitator and supervisor to newer clinicians. I am someone living with auto-immune based chronic health issues. I am a scholar of critical, psychoanalytic and mindfulness based theories. I chase the sun whenever I can and have two dogs named Pickle and River. I currently reside on unceded Nipmuc and Pocumtuc land and want to keep this in the front of my mind more often. I believe that everyone deserves to be supported in dealing with their own legacies of trauma and psychic suffering so that we can more easefully navigate this neoliberal/capitalist/deeply racist, transphobic and ableist heteropatriarchy that is traumatic for everyone, especially folks who are highly sensitive and/or navigate multisystemic oppression. The programs and workshops I offer are aimed at supporting folks in these challenges. I love hosting the Living in this Queer Body podcast and facilitating programs on topics that I feel deeply passionate about. I received a Masters of Arts in Visual and Critical Studies in 2007 and a Masters of Social Work from Smith College in 2013. In 2017, I completed a certificate program at The Stephen Mitchell Center for Relational Studies. Additionally, I served as the Program Director at Balance Eating Disorder treatment center and have years of experience working with issues related to trauma and its impact on the body. I have published on the topics of intergenerational trauma transmission, the treatment of eating disorders, sexual assault in the music industry, the wellness industrial complex and gender dysphoria. If you live in NY, MA or Internationally, and have an interest in biweekly psychotherapy sessions, I occasionally have openings in my small private practice.

Kintsugi Therapist Collective (KTC) is a virtual community offering embodied care, support, wisdom, and resources to trans and non-binary, BIPOC, chronically ill, and disabled mental health providers. KTC was created by A. Onyx Fujii, LCSW (PA) and Asher Pandjiris, LICSW/MA (MA); two chronically ill therapists struggling to achieve sustainability in private practice, while also caring for complicated bodies, raising children, and facing ongoing experiences of trauma and oppression. KTC recognizes that care workers are whole people, many of whom come to this work with complex physical, mental, and emotional care needs. KTC sees, values, and aims to respond to the realities of therapists and aligned care workers navigating the challenge of maintaining active, successful therapy practices without being harmed by the toxic, ableist, and oppressive expectations embedded in extractive business models and clinical training programs. KTC believes that thoughtfully planned, well-supported private practices can provide stability to practitioners, in addition to those we serve, by learning to live and model existing for our own wellbeing, not for everyone else at the detriment to ourselves. KTC exists as a source of mentorship, support, and affirmation — and as a reminder that our wholeness matters and that liberation is possible. If you are a practitioner or an organization seeking mentorship, consultation, or training please explore our offerings. If you are a client seeking therapy from a KTC therapist, their contact information is listed in their bios. To be in touch with Asher and Onyx for any reason, please utilize the contact form. https://www.kintsugitherapistcollective.com/contact daily 0.75 2024-01-28

Combining reality-based, capacity-conscious clinical and business consultation, mentorship will focus on the ways that therapists can be nurtured by clinical practice, avoid burnout, and commit to sustainability, self care and healing. This program will be focused on centering and valuing the unique experiences and challenges of therapists with lived experience of chronic illness, disability, mental illness, trauma, and oppression; with expansive thinking about and active undoing of the harm caused by the well provider/unwell patient binary expectation in mental health and wellness fields. Participation in the Cohort will include monthly: - group clinical case consultation - group private practice business consultation - optional monthly or bimonthly individual clinical consultation Participants will also gain access to: - an intimate, supportive cohort of similarly situated colleagues and mentors - access to a focused listserv, shared resources, and a robust referral network for Cohort members and alums - advertising via the KTC website, listserv, and social media channels; -alums of the cohort will be eligible for KTC supervisory training and opportunities for paid leadership roles within the Collective Applicants are asked to make a yearlong commitment, with 10 months of active participation (with a summer break in August and a winter break in December) which includes 3h of direct consultation, additional preparation time, access to virtual affinity groups, communication and support via Slack, and the option to add clinical consultation. The total fee to participate for the year is $2,500 ($250/mo), with gradual payment options via check or direct ACH payment. KTC reserves sliding scale options for BIPOC participants with financial need - if this is you, please designate as such on your application. For participants interested in individual clinical consultation, sessions are available monthly for $175/month or bimonthly for $300/month. Therapists do not need to be fully licensed to participate, however, the KTC Embodied Private Practice Cohort is a consulting relationship and not clinical supervision. Services do not count towards licensure and unlicensed therapists will need to have a clinical supervisor in the state in which they are practicing. You can contact KTC with questions about the Embodied Private Practice Cohort via the contact page - please select EPPC from the dropdown menu. Applications will be read on a rolling basis with a focus on maintaining an intimate, generative environment. https://www.kintsugitherapistcollective.com/daniella-acker daily 0.75 2024-07-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6191a60d71dd59539a92fa48/1645658373792-3QSRHKLMKX2X9LXRUEBM/Website_Professional%2BPhoto_DAcker.jpg Daniella Acker - Meet Daniella Daniella Acker, LCSW (NY) Psychotherapist Gemini Sun / Sagittarius Moon / Sagittarius Rising she / they I am a queer, white, femme, Jewish therapist currently based in Brooklyn, New York. I primarily came to work as a therapist after my own healing experiences in therapy. Therapy has always reminded me that healing occurs in community and in relationship. Therapy has made me feel less alone, has made space for the wholeness of who I am, and has complicated my life in beautiful ways that I feel grateful for. When I entered the field of social work, I worked with survivors of intimate partner violence in crisis. I often wondered what my role in this work was as a queer person. I found that LGBTQ+ folks were often left out of conversations around abusive relationships. I wondered what it would be like to examine the impact of sexuality, race, class, and gender when exploring the complexity of abusive relationships and survivorship. Today, the intersections of identities between myself and my clients are incredibly important in the therapeutic work that I do. I am committed to sifting through the messiness and connection with my clients and examining the role that systems play in therapeutic work. Sex therapy is another important part of my practice. I am currently in training as a sex therapist and work with folks exploring their relationship to sex and sexuality. I have felt my own shame around discussing sex and sexuality throughout my life and to be able to witness and sit in healing with others is incredibly liberating.

I created my practice to offer Asian Americans space to express rage and mourn the loss of a sense of home and belonging. I mostly navigate interactions with others, systems, earth, and ancestors through the sensations in my body and offer somatic-informed psychotherapy with experience in childhood relational/familial trauma, racial identity and trauma, and anxiety. My time in the inaugural Embodied Private Practice Cohort has shifted the ways in which I celebrate and integrate the parts within me I’ve hidden from myself, my clients, and peers. As I witnessed in the Kintsugi Therapist Collective, I can offer therapy while also finding ways to fulfill my mental health and physical needs while sharing more of who I am. Intellectually, I knew this already. And yet, discussing and grappling and implementing changes in my practice alongside and with the encouragement of my cohort members has felt radical. KTC is facilitating transformation in our field by offering one of many (to come) pathways towards collective care and liberation. www.kokokaratherapy.com https://www.kintsugitherapistcollective.com/alice-wang daily 0.75 2023-05-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6191a60d71dd59539a92fa48/f71c70fc-0a31-462c-9217-cd992007391a/IMG_4077.jpg Alice Wang - Meet Alice Alice Wang, MSEd, LCSW (PA) Psychotherapist, Group Facilitator Pisces Sun / Aquarius Moon / Pisces Rising she/her I am a queer, mixed-race, Chinese-American, woman with chronic illness based out of Philadelphia, PA on Lenni-Lenape land. I come to clinical social work with a deeply held belief that all people are deserving of care and, in my work, I have seen how a safe and collaborative therapeutic relationship can offer healing when that care has been challenged. After finishing my graduate studies in education and social work at the University of Pennsylvania, I completed advanced training in psychodynamic psychotherapy and EMDR therapy; however, I learn the most by sitting with my clients each day. My work is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and connection, drawing from attachment and relational theories and often incorporating somatic practices. In recognition of the harmful systems in which we live, and as someone who has felt their impact, I know an essential part of healing involves actively employing an anti-oppressive lens that refuses to pathologize trauma survival. I acknowledge this requires continued reflection about roles and vulnerabilities in the therapeutic relationship and I aim to create a practice that affirms people of all identities. This core philosophy also frames my facilitation services, where I offer workshops and healing spaces to small communities around a particular topic or focus. My clinical work prioritizes serving folks working towards collective liberation, those healing from trauma and loss, as well as older adolescents and young adults holding marginalized identities. I am incredibly grateful to be a part of the Embodied Private Practice Cohort, through which I am honored to be in community with like-minded, politicized therapists seeking to support the healing of clients while also honoring the humanity of us as clinicians. If you live in PA and have an interest in psychotherapy sessions, or if you are interested in connecting for facilitation services, I welcome inquiries through my website: www.alicelcsw.com. https://www.kintsugitherapistcollective.com/anisah-miley daily 0.75 2026-01-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6191a60d71dd59539a92fa48/db48dc52-de2f-4496-9807-7903add58ac3/AMprof-1_PortFullIFS.jpg Anisah Miley - Meet Anisah Anisah Miley, LCSW (NY/CT) Licensed Clinical Social Worker Taurus Sun / Sagittarius Moon / Cancer Rising she/her I am a Black, Queer, Femme-presenting mom. I offer trauma-informed integrative therapy grounded in Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), supporting clients in healing with care, curiosity, and respect for the wisdom of their bodies. At my core, I am a person in a body who understands the impact of both individual and collective trauma. I know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed, in transition, ready for growth, and in need of balance and accountability. I also have opportunities to savor experiences of healing and joy. This lived knowing, alongside over a decade of clinical experience and training, allows me to collaborate with clients to create flexible, responsive treatment that meets their current needs and experiences. I partner with clients based in New York and Connecticut, with a particular focus on supporting BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color), women, and people of diverse sexual orientations and gender experiences. My work is sex-positive, kink-aware, and affirming of nonmonogamous relationships. The KTC Embodied Private Practice Cohort feels especially meaningful to me because it honors that I am at the center of my practice. I hope it continues to support my attunement to my whole self as I pursue wellness and sustainability as a clinician, business owner, and person in a body. I accept self-pay clients and the following insurance plans: Aetna, Cigna, Medicare, and Optum/UHC.

Appointment times are available on the website below. I offer expressive arts and talk therapy integrated with mindfulness practices. I practice and pay land tax on the stolen homelands of the Ramaytush Ohlone people (colonized as San Francisco) in an ADA accessible building with large windows and a hepa filter. I also provide clinical supervision for associates earning hours toward licensure. My training focuses on expressive arts, mindfulness, and embodied social justice—blending my passion for activism and the arts feels like a natural progression. I grew up in the U.S. South, where I completed my undergraduate degree in theater arts with a minor in education. After graduating, I moved to New York City and taught theater in all five boroughs while acting along the way. After a decade of teaching and parent meetings that often resembled therapy sessions, I transitioned to a career in psychology (while becoming a parent myself). I have worked with families, teens, and many individuals, helping them heal their intimate relationships with themselves and others. I specialize in gender care, particularly with youth. Right now, I'm committed to connecting you with the care we still have, and I'm fighting to keep gender-affirming care accessible and safe! I use client-centered techniques, meaning you are your best source of wisdom—not me. I find daily journaling, meditation, and dancing vital practices. Each day, I work to examine my privileges as an able-bodied white person who grew up with access to education and a middle-class background. I'm neuro-spicy, so I feel confident helping my fellow ADHD/autistic folks creatively, without using overly traditional structured approaches. You'll meet me authentically in our sessions. I am not someone with a worksheet asking you to change in ways the field of psychology thinks you should. I know in my bones that our liberation is bound together, and I'm committed to finding ways for all of us to become freer and freer—including you!

I work primarily with queer and trans folks, many of whom navigate chronic illness, grief, and complex trauma histories. I am passionate about working with survivors of sexual and domestic violence, and am particularly interested in working with folks who have been historically and systematically denied access to survivor centered resources and healing spaces. I am also committed to supporting trans and non-binary folks in navigating systemic barriers to gender-affirming medical care, and appreciate serving as a resource for families of trans youth in advocating for and supporting their children. I draw most heavily from my training in relational psychoanalytic theory and Somatic Experiencing. I value somatics as a central part of my work- not only for its attention to the body and nervous system, but for the ways in which anti oppressive somatic work necessitates an appreciation for the essentiality of consent, agency, self-determination, and moving at a pace that is antithetical to the urgency of capitalism. Somatics has offered me, both personally and professionally, a vehicle for gentleness and a container for holding complexity and contradiction. I'm also interested in transformative justice (TJ), and imagining / practicing ways of integrating anti-carceral principles into my work. Part of what this means to me is a continual reckoning with the ways in which social work / therapy are fields built on / designed to perpetuate white supremacy and other systems of violence. My commitment to TJ also manifests as a deep belief in the power of rupture and repair, and moving through conflict, as generative processes that support both individual and collective transformation and healing.

I offer a relational, collaborative and eclectic approach in my intersectional practice. I value healing justice and see therapy as a creative space to explore individual and collective liberation. The KTC Embodied Private Practice Cohort feels significant to me because it intentionally builds supportive bridges back to ourselves. I am excited to be part of this co-created space and navigate together how to meaningfully center sustainability and liberation in private practice. I am hopeful it will deepen my clinical growth and personal healing practice, in ways that explores lived/embodied experience and honors my reparative kintsugi journey.

I bring my years of life experience and training to witness and assist the healing and empowerment that can result from a collaborative therapy relationship. I bring my authentic self to the relationship; my work style is eclectic, integrating compassion and affirming treatment with openness and humor. Although I have areas of expertise, I am always open and willing to learn; I have the utmost respect for the people that choose to work with me. I am keenly aware of the obstacles created by our external environment and am committed to addressing social and economic justice (and injustices), which contribute to my longstanding practice of offering a sliding scale to my clients. I welcome anyone who wishes to work with me to heal past wounds, and / or address current barriers to living their best life. I bring 20 years of experience working with addictions, using compassion and therapeutic techniques to learn healthier coping mechanisms, without judgement. I also have extensive experience working with members of the LGBTQ2 community and their family members, whether the issue is coming out, transitioning, healing past or present traumas, or whatever issues present roadblocks to a more satisfying and fulfilling life. drfortunata@gmail.com / 508-246-4988 https://www.kintsugitherapistcollective.com/suzette-cook daily 0.75 2025-12-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6191a60d71dd59539a92fa48/a5343fa8-b8c9-48ed-84a3-72432adca60d/EvaMueller-SuzetteCook_7472.jpg Suzette Cook - Meet Suzette Suzette Cook, LCSW (NY) Licensed Clinical Social Worker she/her Hi! I’m Suzette. I’m a mixed race, Korean American licensed clinical social worker in private practice in Brooklyn, NY (unceded Lenape land). I think the relationship between us is what matters most. My aspiration is to grow a relationship with my clients that can be a playground where we experiment with new ways of being and invite far flung parts of ourselves. I value embodied presence, emotional honesty, and attunement. Many of my clients are sorting through complex traumas, severed attachment, and neglect and/or are parents who want to interrupt their traumatic legacies and do it differently. Some also experience an undercontrolled or overcontrolled relationship with their nourishment and their bodies. I am passionate about helping clients recover a firmer sense of self, expand the capacity to feel and heal old wounds, trust the body's intuition, and find an internal sense of safety. I'm also passionate about helping clients navigate freedom in their spirituality and faith outside of prescriptive moral binaries, conformity, homophobia + heteronormativity, and gender exclusion, My lens anti-racist, anti-diet, anti-patriarchy, HAES informed. I believe marginalized voices deserve to be centered in the conversation to make changes in size-based social stratification and discrimination. In my couples and family work I work from an EFT frame which holds the client as the emotional bond between members, the work of Hedy Schlieffer, and other modalities. Individually I'm informed by relational psychodynamics, embodied IFS, and my life experience.

My family moved often when I was young, though I feel most connected to Albuquerque, New Mexico. I am a fiber artist and a musician with a special love for Spanish folk music from the 60s and 70s. I have lived and worked in several countries in Latin America over the past decade as a coordinator for bilingual education and youth development programs. Supporting young people navigating traumatic experiences inspired me to pursue a Master’s in Social Work at the University of Pennsylvania. As a therapist, I have experience working with first- and second-generation Americans, folks who are undocumented, and people who have experienced violence or lost someone to violence. Currently, I provide therapy to students at the University of Pennsylvania and run a private practice. I am focused on the therapeutic relationship as a vehicle to increasing self-awareness and to healing through connection. As a trauma-informed clinician, I prioritize, safety, choice and collaboration in our work together. I approach therapy through an anti-oppressive and decolonial lens. I consider how a person’s larger context -their history, their community, their family, socio-political systems and culture- interact with a client’s multiple, intersecting identities. I am also passionate about plant-medicine and my work is influenced by psychedelic therapy’s emphasis on the inner healing intelligence innate to all people. I have completed the MAPS MDMA Therapy Training program and am in the initial stages of training to provide ketamine-assisted therapy. I intend therapy to be an affirming, healing and celebratory space.

As a designer and social worker, I am building and visioning a practice where people in marginalized bodyminds (neurodivergent, diabled, mad, sick, fat, queer, trans, etc) can work with me and each other on creative projects that engage the idea of “changing our world instead of changing ourselves.” I have spent the past decade working toward inclusion and empowerment of disabled and marginalized people. Across the projects I worked on as a designer and researcher, I was drawn to participatory design strategies that engaged the users and audiences of products in their design process. Inviting a wide range of humans—including engineers, doctors, patients, students, and teachers—into the design process was powerful and transforming. At the same time, I was recovering from the perfectionism and grind of art school by rebuilding my own relationship with making and craft, and beginning a journey of healing my relationship with my body by making my own clothes. Through these explorations, I came to the idea that my design skills might be tools to help people experience this same sense of agency and healing I was developing in myself through "making." From sewing body and gender affirming clothes to producing media about their experiences to making their own fidgets and sensory tools, "making" can invite folks to inhabit their bodies in deeper ways, and to experience their bodies as effective and impactful instruments in the world. As a therapist, my foundation is primarily narrative therapy, although I bring in other modalities as tools, ideas and resources to offer clients. I strive to provide non-pathologizing care by recognizing disability and mental health within systems of power and oppression. I hope as a therapist to help people develop resilience and resistance to their problems through connecting to their inherent goodness and their personal values. https://www.kintsugitherapistcollective.com/katherine-evering-rowe daily 0.75 2022-03-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6191a60d71dd59539a92fa48/5a99e361-86b8-498f-9b0e-5b56b6b417e7/katherine.jpg Katherine Evering-Rowe - Meet Katherine Katherine Evering-Rowe, LCSW (PA) Libra Sun / Capricorn Moon / Libra Rising she/her I am a queer, Black, Jamaican-American woman based out of Philadelphia, PA. While I have been passionate about healing and the mind since childhood, my own experiences with racial and relational trauma left me with a burning curiosity about the intersection between the systemic and the psychological. My path toward and approach to psychotherapy have been heavily influenced by this interest. Further, I am deeply invested in Black feminist ideology, mindfulness, lifelong playfulness, and respectful engagement with nature, all of which undoubtedly influence my perspective and approach. Pulling primarily from relational and psychodynamic frameworks, I believe in the immense healing power of relationship and the invaluable opportunity therapy can provide to observe, experiment with, and heal our relational patterns in real time. I prioritize working with queer folks of color and strive to support my clients in using therapy to invest in a process of reengaging with the full range of human emotions, coming back into relationship with all parts of ourselves, and strengthening our capacities for deep, loving connection with the self and others.

I come to this practice from my own experience of healing through relationship and my deep belief in our capacity, as humans, to heal and transform ourselves and the collective conditions in the world. I am continuously moved to witness and accompany others in their transformative process. I primarily work with survivors of trauma, LGBTQI community, neurodivergent community, social justice activists, artists, and outsiders with attention to the relationship between interpersonal and systemic forms of oppression and trauma. My training and practice are rooted in relational psychodynamic and politicized somatic lineages. I completed my graduate training in psychodynamic clinical social work at Smith College School for Social Work in 2015 and have been training in body-based methodologies with the Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Institute and generative somatics since 2011. It has been a long and winding path to find my home as a clinician living and working inside the contradictions of late-stage capitalism. I am delighted and thankful to have found the Kintsugi Therapist Collective and the Embodied Private Practice Cohort. I am grateful for the space to attend to the contradictions we face as clinicians who are committed to practicing in alignment with our liberatory values without leaving ourselves behind. I have been hungry for just this kind of community of thoughtful, politicized, full-hearted practitioners, to share in these lifelong questions together.

I came to my work as a therapist through my own healing journey, which I see as a lifetime commitment of uncovering and becoming. While it has led to a lot of complications and upheavals, it has also allowed me to live a more fully expressed life. It is through this experience that I witness the resiliency and strength that occurs when we are given the support and space to be truly seen. Before entering private practice, I worked as an individual therapist and group facilitator at a drug and alcohol outpatient program in Ithaca, New York on occupied Haudenosaunee land. Through this work I witnessed the impact of the judicial and carceral systems on people and their families, along with the stigma of substance use. I began to see that in order to build and maintain authentic healing relationships punishment, shame and judgement could not exist. This experience also helped me to examine my role as a therapist and acknowledge the intersections of identity between me and my clients, which I am continually committed to. Helping to heal the impact of trauma and PTSD/c-PTSD is at the heart of my work. I work mostly with adults who have intersecting identities, including gender, sexuality, race, class and disability. In particular, I work with people who have experienced emotional abuse, burnout, intergenerational trauma, womb or birth trauma, attachment trauma, religious trauma and sexual assault. I draw from Relational Psychotherapy, Psychodynamic Psychotherapy and Somatic Psychotherapy. I am also trained in Parts Work and EMDR, which can help transcend limiting beliefs, develop more day to day ease and gain a greater sense of agency. As a therapist, I meet client’s with authenticity, warmth, curiosity and full attunement. When I am not working I enjoy making cut paper collages, writing, reading, studying various topics and spending time in the woods or near the ocean. If you live in California and New York and have an interest in psychotherapy sessions, I occasionally have openings in my private practice.

I’m bicoastal— practicing out of Portland, OR (unceded Cowlitz/Clackamas land) and Northampton, MA (unceded Nonotuck/Nipmuc land). It took me a long time to feel comfortable being “out” about my neurodivergence because of all the stigma, but in a lot of ways, my neurodivergence makes me a better therapist. I believe it helps me remain nonjudgmental, and specifically able to hold multiple different perspectives/systems in my head at once. My lifelong love of creative writing also informs my work, helping my clients to process their experiences and to reclaim their stories from a western and capitalist culture that often thrives off of harmfully forcing narratives onto communities and individuals. As a therapist, I am first and foremost a human, one who got into this therapeutic work because I believe that connection is a human need. and that we are living in a world that devalues the pathways towards intimate connection like vulnerability, interdependence, empathy, and community. There is a culture of prioritizing competition, perfectionism, and emotional distance over community care. Right now, there are so many ways the world is set up to cause suffering. Philosophically, I got into this work to try and push back on a lot of the aspects of society that cause harm to individuals and communities. As such, I am a therapist committed to anti-oppressive practices and actively hold an anti-racist, anti-ableism, anti-diet culture, queer, sex and body positive lens. Many of my clients come to me feeling unmoored from community and their values. They may seek out my services because their inner voice has, out of survival, adopted the cadence, tonality and language of their oppressors. I am open to working with anyone who feels we could be a good fit—generally the folks who find me are working to sort out their relationship to neurodivergence, gender and sexuality, as well as trying to reclaim their bodies from diet culture and a dysfunctional relationship to food and eating. Though I have intensive experience with different modalities, the more I grow into myself as a therapist, the more I feel confident that the therapeutic relationship, that powerful exchange between two humans, is more important than even the most empirically validated treatment. I believe that you can’t have good therapy without a good fit and take any ruptures in that relationship very seriously. My clinical philosophy is informed by dialectics—the idea that multiple perspectives and stances can be truth at the same time, and that as human beings stuck in our subjectivity, we are unable to see the whole picture. If we can acknowledge that, we can stop seeing the world in terms of who is right or wrong and we can start living in the spaces in between, where the full spectrum of experience really exists.

As a queer trauma therapist, I specialize in helping people of marginalized genders and sexualities heal from difficult past experiences to live present, connected, and meaningful lives. From Seattle, I provide relational, trauma-informed, evidence-based psychotherapy to adult individuals across Washington state. What this means is that we may look at your childhood, systems of oppression, traumas, context, and/or culture in making sense of your experience. As we collaborate to figure out where you’re stuck, you will gain new skills so that those same spots won’t be so sticky for you anymore. During our work together, I may draw from various research supported therapies like IFS, CPT, WET, ERP, ACT, and DBT to help you produce meaningful change in your life. Throughout the process I will show up as myself- I promise to be caring and present, and I also promise to be right there with you to challenge you when it’s needed. I will invite you to show up as your full self, too- as a licensed clinical social worker, I strive to be aware and responsive to how power and privilege impact my clients inside and outside the therapy room. I see therapy as a way to help other marginalized people thrive- I want us to experience joy and ease. When my clients end therapy, they often describe feeling significantly more centered, calm, and trusting in their body, relationships, and life.

I am a non-binary and neuroqueer human practicing embodiment and connection as a clinical social worker, therapist, and educator. My therapy and coaching practice works to center the needs of people in marginalized bodies and identities while practicing from a non-pathologizing perspective. I hope to interrupt systems of oppression including racism, ablism, transphobia, homophobia, capitalism, discrimination and stigma through my therapeutic and education work. Drawing from many healing modalities, I practice client centered and trauma informed somatic therapy. I honor that my clients are the experts of their own experience, and I believe that therapy is a gathering of imperfect humans navigating the complex world together. I pull heavily from the Neuro-Affective Relational Model, Somatic Mindfulness, and identity work through the lens of intersectional feminism. I am passionate about embracing self-acceptance and attuning to the most vulnerable parts of self with radical compassion, non-judgement, and dignity. My roots as a social worker are in storytelling, community organizing, and restorative justice, and I am passionate about teaching self-healing and relationship-healing for collective liberation. As a white queer and trans person with chronic and invisible illness, I embody and explore the layers of complex human experience with sensitivity and love. My work seeks to challenge narratives of division, separation, fear and hopelessness by holding space for neurodivergent queer people to embrace the fullness of their identity, expression and experience.

(CA) Virgo Sun / Taurus Moon / Leo Rising she/her One of my strengths as a therapist comes from my personal ethos which in turn comes from Filipino cultural values: to meet all people—including my clients—in kapwa and to release them with baon. Kapwa means shared identity and this concept reminds me to look for the humanity in others, to connect with them across differences of culture, choice or circumstance, and to treat them with compassion and loving-kindness. Baon is the Tagalog word for provisions, such as food, money or supplies, usually for a journey. A gracious host always sends guests on with baon. I think of my clients as travelers and my time with them as a brief stop along their journey. This ethos of kapwa and baon serves as a general framework for my work in each session and across the course of therapy for every client — how am I attuning to their experience from a place of shared identity, and what might I offer that will be of value to them, whether for the upcoming week until our next appointment, or for the longer journey across their life. My vision is to develop a practice/business that embraces—as Bayo Akomolafe describes it—“a politics that refuses to pathologize brokenness, refuses to think of it as secondary to wholeness…which reframes brokenness as the condition for transformation.

I am a white, cis, Polish-American, disabled woman living in Massachusetts. I work primarily with neurodiverse individuals and people living in a chronically ill body. I’m passionate about helping people connect with their body and discover ways to honor their authentic selves. Together we unpack the ways in which systemic trauma has informed how they move through the world. I have found that utilizing my own experience of being in a wheelchair and living in an able-bodied world has enriched the therapeutic process by allowing me to show up authentically. I am drawn to somatic therapy interventions and am currently receiving training in sensorimotor psychotherapy. I believe in the power of community in relation to healing and well-being. This has led me to work on the cultural council for my town and utilize the arts to create empowering connections. laurensanford.com https://www.kintsugitherapistcollective.com/elizabeth-donahue daily 0.75 2022-07-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6191a60d71dd59539a92fa48/a9c74f70-891d-4099-97ff-77484f0e7a2a/Elizabeth.JPG Elizabeth Donahue - Meet Elizabeth Elizabeth Donahue, LICSW (MA) she/her Hi! I’m Elizabeth. I am a white, cis, Italian and Irish woman, a lover of the outdoors, a therapist, and a friend, partner, and daughter. I live in lovely, western Massachusetts. I have worked as a therapist, on and off, for the past fifteen years, slowly learning that I am the best therapist when I balance my indoor, sitting therapy work with outdoor, full body, physical work. This has looked pretty different over the years, but I now work part time in a college counseling center, while also starting a small private practice and doing part-time physical labor. I feel really lucky to get to work with so many curious and amazing people, and I know it is really a gift to get to witness and connect with people through this work. At the heart of my therapy practice is supporting people to more deeply listen to themselves, to tune into the wisdom their bodies hold, and to learn how to fiercely love and respect themselves in the midst of a world that can make that so darn difficult! I am really excited to be joining this cohort because I have been wanting to find a way to have more community in this work and also looking for ways to stretch and grow in my own learning and understanding of myself as a therapist. As a person who deals with chronic illness, I was drawn to the idea of finding connection with other folks who may sometimes have bodies that struggle, and I’m excited to learn from the knowing that these bodies hold. I’m also looking forward to being surrounded by people who are eager to challenge the systems that taught us what therapy should look like and to explore how this work can liberate us and our clients. https://www.kintsugitherapistcollective.com/em-stuart daily 0.75 2024-12-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6191a60d71dd59539a92fa48/b19be112-9c39-4eac-8d9c-605b3317a831/Em.jpg Em Stuart - Meet Em Em Stuart, LMFT (CA) Lion | Sea Goat (Unicorn) | Scorpio (Eagle) they/them I’m a queer, white psychotherapist practicing in California (the Bay Area). The foundation of my practice sits on a meditation cushion where, over the span of 10 years, I have learned to more deeply rest in my Queer, trans, and female-conditioned body. But my starting home comes from the swamps outside of New Orleans, where hurricanes are dreaded seasonal visitors, playmates and readily drank alongside some blues & jazz. When sitting with individuals or couples, I track my shifting body sensations to help clients digest the often unconscious or unprocessed stories that they hold in their bodies. I offer reflections in the form of images, metaphors, naming feelings, and my curiosities about certain relationships or generational patterns that might inform specific mood states. This somatic process has naturally led me into the realm of chronic pains and other physical ailments that people hold every day, often without known causes or concrete medical explanations. Clients have described sessions with me as “feeling like my body got a massage”, “calming”, and “noticing a growing self-trust.” I reflect a lot about the subtle ways that our daily interactions and behaviors uphold systems of harm, and unhelpful forms of survival, or create openings for the playful co-creation of new systems of healing. I’m looking forward to joining a community of embodied therapists that are reenvisioning the conditions necessary for a sincere healing space. Therapists that are growing the capacity for the re-emergence of all aspects of themselves and the client. Collective liberation is the dream, and I see my energetic body circulating like the rainbands of a hurricane, offering curiosity (the starting ingredient that grows compassion) to all pockets of the matrix we find ourselves stuck in, starting with you and me. bandsofcuriosity@gmail.com www.bandsofcuriosity.com https://www.kintsugitherapistcollective.com/elio-beckman daily 0.75 2025-02-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6191a60d71dd59539a92fa48/6f37a2a1-7190-400c-9c19-8b609bae4064/Willa.jpeg Elio Beckman - Meet Elio Elio Beckman, LCSW (PA) Gemini Sun / Aries Moon / Taurus Rising they/them eliotherapy.com I believe that the conditions of our society push us to disconnect from our authentic selves, relationships, communities, and the world around us. As a white, queer, gender fluid, Ashkenazi Jewish, upper-middle class person born into generational trauma with multiple chronic health conditions, I am familiar with the experience of marginalization within systems of oppression and the experience of upholding systems of oppression - and believe both to be dehumanizing. I view healing as an ongoing process of reconnection that can take many forms: approaching our bodies with curiosity and care, allowing ourselves to expand to include all the parts of us, joining in community, and aligning our actions with our values to contribute to a world with less harm. My therapy practice is psychodynamic, trauma-informed, and committed to an abolitionist framework. I center curiosity, compassion, and consistency to build relationships where people may feel safe, supported, accepted, and whole. I feel incredibly grateful to do this work. I am eager to join the KTC cohort to deepen my own healing, support other therapists in navigating the challenges of this work, and build our collective power and liberation as a community of radical therapists.

I am thankful to Onyx and Asher for creating this space and to a long lineage of subversive and transformative healers. https://www.kintsugitherapistcollective.com/kim-konopka daily 0.75 2022-07-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6191a60d71dd59539a92fa48/5824abf4-a9f8-424c-9877-009c4f0063ca/Kim.jpg Kim Konopka - Meet Kim Kim Konopka, LCSW (NY/NJ/CA) they/them I don’t believe we seek out therapy because we are “flawed” or because we need to be “fixed.” Instead, I view therapy as an act of empowerment when navigating challenging systems, -isms, and circumstances. My own lived experience as a neurodivergent Korean adoptee drives my commitment to practicing from a place that holds space for - and celebrates- each person’s multiple and intersecting identities. In my work, I don’t operate from the role of “expert.” I see myself as a compassionate collaborator who shows up with curiosity and care as clients navigate the cusps of their growing edges. Shedding light on our hidden spots and stretching beyond our current edges - in all of its excitement, tenderness, and discomfort- leads us to new places, new practices, and new ways of being with ourselves and others. Some of the theoretical perspectives that inform my work include: anti-oppressive practices, disability, healing and transformative justice, intersectionality, relational approaches, mindfulness, and trauma-focused somatic-based modalities including elements of Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR), and Brainspotting. I owe what I know about vulnerability and resilience to those who have been brave enough to share therapeutic space with me. I’m grateful for the spaces where I both learn and teach- and where I am simultaneously challenged, and held, in accountability and with care. I work primarily with fellow neurodivergent LGBTQIA+ people of color, and transracial/transnational adoptees at these intersections who are navigating the trauma of oppressive systems, challenging relational dynamics, transitions/changes, and/or self-exploration/ emergent identities. My practice is entirely telehealth/ virtual only, and I work with residents of New York, New Jersey and California. Please learn more about my practice here: www.yungmeepsychotherapy.com I am best reached via email: kim@yungmeepsychotherarpy.com https://www.kintsugitherapistcollective.com/sophia-zucker daily 0.75 2022-07-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6191a60d71dd59539a92fa48/be14bd0f-4428-4f3a-a34a-37777cfda2f5/Sophia.png Sophia Zucker - Meet Sophia Sophia Zucker, LICSW (MA) she/her I am a white, queer, cis woman of Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry in private practice in Northampton, MA on Nipmuc and Pocumtuc land. I offer collaborative, liberation-focused psychotherapy for complex trauma and dissociation, life transitions, and identity exploration. I prioritize - and take joy in! - working with queer, disabled, neurodivergent folks, outsiders, and trauma survivors. I believe deeply that the distress that brings people to therapy is most often rooted in experiences of interpersonal and structural oppression and trauma. My approach to therapy draws on my training and education in psychodynamic, somatic, ego states, narrative, and feminist theory and practice, but is above all deeply relational, grounded in loving connection. I am especially grateful for the teachings of reproductive justice, disability justice, psychiatric survivor, and other intersecting movements that lift up the wisdom of lived experience and the centrality of mutual aid in our shared survival. I work with people to listen and respond to information from their bodies, memories, and values, to unravel and uproot the legacies of oppressive systems that teach us that the problem lies within. I am deeply committed to and moved by my clients and the relationships we build in therapy. This work can be profound, connected, and often playful! If you are located in Massachusetts and interested in working together, I occasionally have openings in my practice and welcome your contact. I also offer clinical consultation to early-career therapists and welcome inquiries about this as well. sophia@sophiazuckerlicsw.com https://therapist.com/clinician/sophia-zucker-112445/ https://www.kintsugitherapistcollective.com/sara-yassky daily 0.75 2022-07-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6191a60d71dd59539a92fa48/88ad51d9-2a09-48ac-bf9d-5a664dac958a/yassky.jpg Sara Yassky - Meet Sara Sara Yassky, LCSW, SEP (PA) they/them Website: www.sarayassky.com Contact: syassky@sarayassky.com I am a white, queer, non-binary, non-disabled, politicized somatic psychotherapist, dance artist, and touch practitioner living and working on Lenni Lenape land in Philadelphia. I integrate various relational, attachment and psychodynamic approaches with somatic work. Since 2013, I heavily draw from my ever-evolving learning as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, as well as being deeply influenced by my training with Generative Somatics and additional somatic lineages through movement and bodywork. I am invested and practiced in the use of therapeutic touch for trauma recovery/healing and the growing of somatic awareness to support deeper connections to self and others. I continue to study, refine, and marvel in its power. I endlessly geek out about the practices of touch within the many complicated structures and systems it is shaped by. In addition to one-on-one client work, I assist in the training of clinicians and professionals through the Somatic Experiencing Institute for Trauma and offer consultations for clinicians and touch practitioners working with trauma. I’m also excited to be building more collective and public offerings rooted in practices of politicized embodiment. I commit to root my work and offerings in anti-oppressive and liberatory visions and actions. I think about clinical practice as a piece of healing justice work that sits within the intersections of both individual and collective change. I deeply care about this work and strive to be in continued community to support one another in the joy and grief of it. Outside of my private practice, I dance and make creative work with other curious bodies - including my cat while cooking in the kitchen. My garden has been one of my strongest lifelines throughout the past years as well as finding myself by water as much as possible with my loved ones. https://www.kintsugitherapistcollective.com/mahyar-nili daily 0.75 2022-07-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6191a60d71dd59539a92fa48/bc95e325-82ca-4cf0-95c3-d14a0b24b114/Mahyar.jpg Mahyar Nili - Meet Mahyar Mahyar Nili, LMFT, SEP (CA) she/they Hi, my name is Mahyar. I’m a diasporic Iranian somatic therapist based in Los Angeles, and have been practicing in CA for 11 years. I’m most passionate about growing and learning, individually and collectively, in ways that connect spirit and heart, the body, and community, moving towards collective liberation. I love dancing and movement, the grounding beauty and joy in nature, the arts, resting and all things self-care, and spending time with loved ones. My work is grounded in heart-centered non-judgment, deep acceptance and compassion, curiosity, collaboration, cultural sensitivity and humility, love and affirmation of identities, anti-oppression, and openness to the unknown. As a trauma-informed, person-centered and holistic therapist, I integrate talk therapy with learning from somatic, and attachment-oriented modalities, including Somatic Experiencing, Somatic Touch skills online, EMDR, Comprehensive Resource Model, PACT, EFIT, and AEDP. I specialize in supporting first- and second-generation immigrants, especially Queer, Non-Binary, Trans, BIPOC, SWANA, Neurodivergent, chronically ill and disabled, spiritual, sensitive, artists, and activists, with attention to intersecting aspects of identity, and histories. mahyarnili.com https://www.kintsugitherapistcollective.com/isabel-baylor daily 0.75 2022-07-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6191a60d71dd59539a92fa48/48a54898-7073-4139-9f02-cbdbfc72effa/Isabel2.png Isabel Baylor - Meet Isabel Isabel Baylor, LMSW, E-RYT (NY) Leo Sun / Libra Moon / Sagittarius Rising she/they I’m Isabel, LMSW (she/they). I am a queer, Black, biracial, femme therapist and movement teacher based out of Hudson, NY. I find my work gravitating toward the richness and complexity of our identities and how that impacts the ways in which we understand ourselves and the world. Our cultural experiences and how we identify are integral to who we are, and exploring such experiences is essential to the therapeutic process. I also believe that the body holds infinite wisdom and insight, and by slowing down and tuning in we can access a wealth of information that isn’t always available to us in the day to day. I enjoy supporting adults and teens with a wide range of issues, including depression, anxiety and stress, relationships, trauma, grief and loss, sexuality, gender identity and cultural issues. I’ve been finding joy in the facilitation of groups for QTPOC and BIPOC folks around gender and sexuality, relationships, mindful movement, and creative writing. I would describe my approach to therapy as eclectic. It is broadly psychodynamic and also highly relational and I use somatic lineages and social justice to inform my clinical practice. I believe that healing in community helps us to remember and recall collective knowledge that has been suppressed and forgotten due to systemic violence and oppression. I am passionate about community care, liberation, growth, joy, and healing. I make time to cook delicious things, swim whenever possible, and take long walks with my dog, Sage. I find refuge in watching cartoons and following the Marvel universe. I am deeply inspired by queer feminist luminaries of past, present, future, such as Audre Lorde, bell hooks, Alice Walker, and Alexis Pauline Gumbs. I am embracing moving slower and becoming softer.

My experience living with chronic illness, and the uncertainty and frequently shifting needs that come with it, is perhaps a part of what has made therapeutic connection come easily to me, leading with curiosity and acceptance. As a nurse practitioner with a specialty in Adult Psych-Mental Health, I was trained to utilize both the tools of psychotherapy and the prescription pad. Providing evidence based treatment is important to me, as is the acknowledgement of the limits and challenges of psychopharmacological treatment. In my private practice, I split my time between shorter medication management visits, and longer visits where I maintain a panel of psychotherapy patients seen weekly or biweekly.

I am a white, disabled, nonbinary, Jewish person running a private practice in Southern Vermont for queer and trans teens and young adults. I’m excited about psychiatric abolition, non-pathologization of survival skills and neurodivergence, and transparency about the therapeutic process.

My name is summer koo (they/them). I’m never quite settled on a label for my gender; I also identify as mixed race (Chinese & white), neurodivergent (ADHD), and queer. As a healing practitioner, I have special interest and experience with issues related to privilege, oppression, and identity; chronic, complex, and generational trauma; as well as challenges related to anxiety and mood. My practice rests on a foundation of authentic care, compassion, and respect for the wholeness of my clients; my approach is anti-oppressive, intersectional, and decolonial. While I choose to practice eclectically to meet my client-community’s unique needs, I mostly find myself pulling from somatic, narrative, and relational-cultural modalities. I strive to co-create safe and empowering relationships that invite us to lean into our discomforts and ultimately, our growth. My practice is open to folx across the lifespan, though I have a special place in my heart for working with QTBIPOC teens (including our inner teenagers!).

I live off grid in the woods, where I learn to build, sustain and grow my home. I am a settler here, learning how to take care of the land, and bodies that exist around me. I am on this journey working along side my clients trying to understand how to be in this world as a body that feels deeply, and being with bodies that feel deeply. I come to this work with humility, knowing that being with the unknown can be a practice of healing itself. Being silly is my favorite expression of life. I love my work. I am influenced by the philosophy of Hakomi, and practice holding a loving presence as a foundation for my work. I strive to prioritize safety in the continuous work of decolonizing and de-pathologizing the therapist–client dynamic. I graduated from the somatic Masters program in San Francisco at California Institute of Integral Studies. I currently work at a clinic in Halifax, and in private practice. I also have extensive experience creating workshops designed to prevent bullying and sexual harassment in remote workplace environments. azrapoetherapy.com azrapoetherapy@gmail.com https://www.kintsugitherapistcollective.com/veronica-n-chin-hing-michaluk daily 0.75 2023-03-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6191a60d71dd59539a92fa48/07ce2591-ef97-4fe2-a17e-c9287d3c8a9e/veronica.png Veronica N. Chin Hing-Michaluk - Meet Veronica Veronica N. Chin Hing-Michaluk, LMHC (NY) they/them I'm Veronica, and some of the ways I locate myself in space are through my identities and experiences navigating the world within that evolving constellation. Some fixed aspects of Self include grounding in a Black Indigenous Chinese and Caribbean upbringing with a diverse ancestral plane; reconnecting to BIPOC, queer identity in young adulthood; connecting more deeply to nonbinary indigenous identity in adulthood; and reflecting anti-oppressive healing frameworks in my own communities and professional practice to help dismantle the stats on mental health outcomes. VNC Therapy New York was founded to provide a healing space for BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ humans to reconnect with their identities and explore new pathways to pleasure in a radically affirming and expansive way. Some of the healing has included dismantling ideas around perfectionism, entitlement, and oppression that may be specific to AAPI, BIPOC, Latinx, LGBQAI+ and TGNC communities and which show up intersectionally to create unique barriers to pleasure. I'm elated to connect with others in the Embodied Private Practice Cohort navigating how to honor our individual capacities and pain points, respond to these evolving global crises with new healing frameworks, and still leave time for inner child play and cultivating new homeostasis!

I am neurodiverse and highly sensitive. I am a politicized, somatic and relational healing practitioner. I care deeply about my queer friendships and chosen family, and I am a new parent striving to do my part in healing intergenerational trauma. I am a sucker for beautiful and cute things such as oceans and googly eyes. I am a retired dancer, but remain a mover. I love to cook and I often grieve. I laugh more now than ever before, and I also still cry often. I created my practice as a politicized healing space for QTBIPOC. I care deeply about queer and trans Black, Indigenous, and other People of Color getting to move beyond coping with trauma to reclaiming their curiosity and joy. I specialize in somatic, trauma-focused therapy with extensive experience in sexual trauma, intimate partner violence, relational ruptures, intergenerational trauma, racial trauma, and burnout among healing practitioners, activists, community organizers, social justice movement leaders, and artists. I am a new parent, and I enjoy working with queer and trans* folks who are trying to conceive, pregnant, postpartum, and parenting. I also work with somatic experiences such as chronic illness and pain, disordered eating, gender dysphoria, and fatphobia-- generally, I am a nerd about all things body. I am comfortable holding space for big emotional states such as grief, despair, and shame. While I primarily work with individuals and couples or small groups, our work together always has in mind the larger forces that seek to shape us, and that we as individuals can shape back. As a somatic therapist, I work with a view towards bodies: individual bodies, collective bodies, systemic bodies, and the space beyond bodies (nature, ancestors, imagination). I support individuals in learning to love and respect their survival reactions, while also growing their nervous system to act in alignment with current day desires and commitments. I come by this work through my personal healing journey; activism in anti-violence, pro-survivor movement spaces; training in generative somatics, Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Brainspotting; and a healthy critique of individualistic approaches to mental health. I first stepped into the “professional field” in 1999. I completed a Bachelors in Psychology and Visual Art in 2004, a Masters in Social Work in 2007, and worked in various community, hospital, and crisis settings prior to earning my License in Clinical Social Work in 2019. My views are heavily shaped by ongoing learning in healing justice, disability justice, and reproductive justice. https://www.centeringhealing.com https://www.kintsugitherapistcollective.com/cynthia-magana daily 0.75 2024-03-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6191a60d71dd59539a92fa48/bad0f21b-7051-4f06-bbdb-2482ac6038db/CynMaganaHealing+%28Website%29.jpg Cynthia Magaña - Meet Cyn Cynthia (Cyn) Magaña, LCSW (CA/NY) Leo Sun / Virgo Moon / Pisces Rising she/they Hello! My name is Cynthia (she/they), feel free to call me Cyn. I identify as a queer latinx clinical social worker and trauma informed wellness practitioner. I am a certified Level 1 Internal Family Systems therapist and yoga teacher. I aim to co-create affirming spaces for first generation college grads, queer and trans folx who may have not had access to a BIPOC and queer mental health provider. Working together, I offer direct reflections and feedback of themes emerging. I invite the opportunity to go deeper to explore emotions, thoughts, and old stories emerging with the built trust of our therapeutic alliance. I developed a particular insight for the past several years working with emerging professionals of color and creatives who experience anxiety, feel stuck and experience perfectionism anticipating major life transitions as a result of intercultural and immigrant life experiences. I am highly attuned to supporting adult children of dysfunctional families who identify as intuitive, creative and self critical. Lastly, as a therapist, I enjoy providing community care to other therapists, therapists- in- training and healers who are actively invested in reclaiming cultural affirming healing practices. My goal is to support your healing, choices and change that feels embodied and right for you. I am a Los Angeles native and spent my formative years in New York City. I am a graduate of New York University Silver School of Social Work, California State University, Long Beach.

Chang - Meet Luca Luca J. Chang, LMFT (CA) 白瑾琳 Rooster (zodiac) they/he Hi, I’m Luca. I am a queer, trans, non-binary, neuroqueer, disabled, mixed Chinese and White clinician. A Bay Area kid, I currently reside on unceded Chochenyo Ohlone Land (colonially known as Oakland, CA). Moving along the various planes of my identities, I am intimately familiar with the ways in which oppressive systems instill doubt and fear about who we are and our futures. Most of the folks I work with similarly experience systematic and interpersonal barriers to being their full selves in the world. They have been made to feel that they do not belong; that they are too fat, too small, too disabled, too queer, too quiet, too loud, too dark, too light, and so on. They learned how to bury critical parts of themselves in order to survive, to avoid abandonment or rejection. When clients reach out, they express a desire for relief from the heaviness of hiding. Together we explore what it can mean to create abundant, loving space for all the different parts. We imagine, dream, and honor honesty over comfort. At the core of my clinical stance is the therapy relationship itself. Within relationships is where we can experience the transformative power of connection, of truly being together in an expansive, honest, nuanced way—a need that we all have. This feels especially important given how oppressive systems keep us disconnected from one another and ourselves. I value co-creating a space where my clients and I can find reprieve from this isolation, push back against confinement, and breathe in solidarity. As well as being relationally oriented, I draw from a number of different approaches. These include psychodynamic theory, attachment theory, somatics, parts work (Internal Family Systems), and storytelling practices. All of these modalities are exciting to me, in that they support my understanding of my clients’ experiences. I enjoy collaborating with folks around what resonates with them and doing away with what doesn’t. My practice is additionally informed by anti-oppression, anti-pathology, anti-diet culture, disability justice, sex and pleasure advocacy, humility, accountability (especially regarding my privilege and the power dynamic in the therapy relationship), curiosity, hope, and playfulness. I deeply value non-linear, non-outcome-oriented processing. This might mean that questions lead to more questions, and that we arrive at ourselves rather than an answer. In our work together, healing can look like dismantling barriers to being ourselves, centering our needs, tending to shame, trusting the wisdom of the bodymind, developing sacred practices for joy and pleasure, seeking alignment with our values, and grounding in the felt knowledge that there is enough space for all of our different parts.

Somatically-based, I balance this approach with the use of mindfulness, cognitive, the expressive arts, relational, and psychoanalytic practices in order to best individualize your care. I help those to better understand, repair, and work with their mind/body/emotional connection in order to sustainably and holistically heal and address their symptoms and issues. I have spent the last decade honing these skills and currently support adults with a wide range of issues including challenges with trauma, low self-worth/self-esteem, mood disorders, grief, and life transitions. I believe the therapeutic relationship itself is healing, and therefore I bring an open, curious, and collaborative energy to the space. I am grateful to join the Kintsugi Therapist Collective and the Embodied Private Practice Cohort. As an embodied therapist, having a space of like-minded individuals who are committed to exploring and upholding the authenticity of the healing work and ourselves, is such a gift.

Along the way, I've been on a journey of self discovery that has deepened my desire to strengthen connections with both others and myself. For over a decade, I worked in the nonprofit sector, addressing inequities and systemic racism in our criminal justice system, as well as combating gender-based oppression and violence. Alongside my systems change work, I spent several years providing trauma-informed therapy to children and their families in the Bronx. I think of therapy not as a linear path, destination, or as a "fix" of any kind, but instead as a lifelong journey of self discovery. As a nonbinary, neurodivergent and neuroqueer parent of multiple children born during the pandemic, I've seen the ways in which isolation and lack of societal supports can create daily struggles for parents. My goal is to support parents in addressing those daily struggles, so that they can continue on their path of self discovery, and better understand the shifts in identity that often come with parenthood. I provide therapy to parents and adults as they develop a better understanding of themselves, affirming their experiences with broken support systems and helping them to build and strengthen new supports. I help folks address trauma, anxiety, stress, sensory sensitivities, and other daily struggles; I also seek to help individuals deepen and build connections within their chosen community.

I am Chad living and working in Tucson, Arizona (unceded Tohono O’Odham land). I’m a Virgo sun, Taurus moon, and Pisces ascendant, a socialist Gen-Xer, and queer/nonbinary fat, goth, femme White person of Northern European (Germanic and Southern England) descent. My therapy practice has changed over the past several years, and now integrates somatic work into liberation-based, psychoanalytic, humanistic/existential and feminist/multicultural frameworks. Much of my work is with transgender youth and adults, and their families/partners. Clients enter the therapy relationship with neurodivergent experiences, trauma, pluralism/dissociation, interpersonal distress and coping difficulties, and issues of oppression and suppression. It is difficult to write about my specific therapeutic approach because I am influenced by various approaches and philosophies, yet have also begun the process of unlearning and relearning practices that challenge white supremacy, emphasizes collective liberation, and focuses on the therapeutic relationship. For me, therapy centered the lived experiences and goals of the client and not the types of techniques I use –so I try to apply what I know, what we know together, and to work towards the client’s expression of needs and healing processes.

My name is Jessica. I am a registered dietitian practicing in San Diego, CA (unceded Kumeyaay Land). I am a mixed-race Latinx, gay provider, and I center my care around lived experience. I believe that body autonomy is the foundation of nutritional counseling, and aim to support my clients in reaching their food, body, and movement related goals. I primarily serve individuals and families in the eating disorder community. Through my experience helping competitive and collegiate athletes meet their individualized performance needs, I have found a passion for inclusive sports nutrition. I am trained in trans+ inclusive care (through FEDUP Collective) and specialize in vegan and vegetarian nutrition. I have been an ethical vegan for 7+ years and utilizes my personal experience and professional training to support my vegan and vegetarian clients in both sports nutrition and eating disorder recovery. I received a Bachelor of Science in Biology with a minor in Chemistry from the University of Redlands in 2016 and a Coordinated Masters in Public Health with an emphasis in dietetics from Loma Linda University in 2019. Through my educational/practical experience serving lower socioeconomic communities, I learned the value of inclusive, accessible, and individualized care. My education, upbringing, and life experiences have shaped my nature as a provider. I practice from a fat positive, fully inclusive lens and believe in anti-carceral, harm reduced care. I aim to cultivate a safe, non-judgmental space for my clients to explore their definition of “recovery”, and meet them where they are to reach their goals. I love to explore creative approaches to healing one’s relationship with food and their body. When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with her partner, Jess (yes, we have the same name), and our dog Sven. I love to discover ways to bring joy into movement and am often found connecting with nature through running, cycling, or going for walks. Painting has become a therapeutic hobby of mine. As someone who tends to have an over-controlled personality type, I find peace and connection to my internal world through art.

I’m Jessica but please feel free to call me Jess. I am a licensed clinical social worker living and working in Manhattan. My practice grows from a place of love, curiosity and genuine care. Healing chronic neglect and creating permission to exist freely are what feel like the cornerstones of how I practice. I hope to create space for my clients' messiest and often most shameful parts to have permission to be seen, heard, understood, and valued. I care about bringing attention and affirmation to the complexities of people's life experiences, recognizing the way trauma and relationships can mold, connect, and isolate them, and the necessity of healing the ruptures that keep people feeling isolated and unlovable. My work is rooted in and informed by harm reduction, parts work, the importance of expressing creativity, transformational healing relationships I’ve had the privilege of engaging in, and in recognizing the reality of oppression, power, inequality and control in this world. My lens is anti-racist, anti-diet, and HAES positive.

As an Internal Family Systems practitioner, I aim to support clients in fostering curiosity for all parts of themselves in a nonjudgmental, supportive way. I strive to maintain an anti-oppressive, LGBTQIA+ affirming practice, which often begins with acknowledging and creating space to process our shared and differing relationships to power and privilege. I am honored to share space with other clinicians working to integrate our humanity more fully into our practices.

I reside in Portland, Oregon, on land settled by the Multnomah, Wasco, Cowlitz, Kathlamet, Clackamas, Chinook, Tualatin, Kalapuya, and Molalla tribes. As a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, I provide therapy and medication management to folx using a trauma-informed approach. I also employ a Health at Every Size philosophy that prioritizes whole person wellness above a weight-centric perspective. In my practice, the client is at the helm of choosing what areas to work on. A holistic approach is favored over one-size-fits-all formulas. My practice focuses on depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, bipolar disorders, and trauma. I strive to understand the person in their present state and identify the root cause of distress in their life. I believe that everyone in the healing profession should undergo their own journey of self-exploration, to better understand the people they’re treating. Mental health struggles give us all the opportunity to learn to ground spiritually. Joining KTC is part of that process for me. Growth happens in community, and I look forward to learning from others in the KTC cohort how to better hold space both for my clients and for myself. https://www.kintsugitherapistcollective.com/bipoc-case-consultation-group daily 0.75 2025-11-03 https://www.kintsugitherapistcollective.com/amy-maxwell daily 0.75 2024-03-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6191a60d71dd59539a92fa48/6a3e3deb-c3f0-46a9-83fe-190682507e83/amy+photo.jpg Amy Maxwell - Meet Amy Amy Maxwell, LPC (CO;TX), LCAT (NY), ATR-BC Aries Sun / Aquarius Moon / Sagittarius Rising she/her I am a white, cisgender, queer, able-bodied woman who resides in Boulder, Colorado (unceded Arapaho, Ute, and Cheyenne land). I am a creative arts psychotherapist, psychedelic-assisted practitioner and multidisciplinary artist who takes a relational psychodynamic approach with the goal of facilitating healing for individuals with experiences of complex trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and codependency. Many clients come to my practice feeling emotionally overwhelmed and disconnected from themselves, having difficulty setting boundaries, struggling with attempts at rescuing/fixing others and patterns of self-abandonment related to trauma and oppression. My practice focuses on cultivating a safe space to explore relational wounds and find healing through fostering empowerment, self-discovery, self-understanding, and self-nurturance. I incorporate approaches including art therapy, ego states therapy, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, EMDR, and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP). I enjoy the exploration of one's internal world, existential pondering, creative expression, and meaning making practices. I am a queer feminist and additionally offer LGBTQ+ affirming care. I hope to increasingly embody anti-oppression, collective liberation, and community care in my therapy practice and existence as a human.

All are welcome in my practice, and I strive to create a safer space for BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color), women, and people of diverse sexual orientations, relationship orientations and gender experiences. I am a queer Latinx immigrant and I am bilingual (Spanish is my first language), though I've lived the majority of my life in Newark, NJ and NYC. I am on the life-long journey of unlearning and challenging the biases that are inherent in the imperialist, white supremacist, heteronormative systems that have shaped the ways we relate to all beings and our environment. My intention is to face my internal and external world with compassion, curiosity, humility and love. I provide individual talk therapy, Ketamine-assisted therapy and psychedelic preparation and integration. I work virtually and also see people in-person when necessary and appropriate.

I began this labor of love as a community organizer and transferred my skills from working in the streets to a clinical focus on the intersection of the contexts, systems, and dynamics we live in. From my work with communities, I deeply believe that communities should be empowered to make decisions for themselves and I have translated this world view to my clinical work by empowering my clients to build the lives they want to live. I believe that the healing power of relationship and community is what makes the undeniable difference between suffering and suffering alone. I aspire to hold space for that suffering in preparation for the work of identifying and challenging the oppressive systems at play. I live and practice in the Maryland/DC area on the stolen ancestral lands of the Piscataway and Nacotchtank people. I benefit from the power and privilege of generational wealth, whiteness, and from being straight-sized, cisgender, heterosexual, and highly educated. My neurodivergence, chronic illness, and chronic pain make me vulnerable to ongoing experiences of ableism. I studied social determinants of health as a part of earning my Bachelor of Science in Community Health from the University of Maryland College Park and continued by specializing in Community Action and Social Policy at the University of Maryland Baltimore where I earned my Masters of Social Work. I use these community-based principles to collaborate with adolescents, adults, couples, and families to explore and identify strategies that work for them - not just what the data says should work for them. Harm reduction, fat liberation, neurodivergent-affirming care, trauma healing, and relational approaches guide my practice. I am also a musician and active member of the DC Labor Chorus, the musical arm of the revolution.

In addition to running a private therapy practice, I am a devoted partner and parent and one half of the collaborative artist duo, Abacus Corvus. My intention as a psychotherapist is to come to each relationship full of respect, presence, and curiosity. My approach is psychodynamic, integrative, and spontaneous. I'm informed by my background in somatics, meditation, and the expressive arts, as well as by my own journey being human. It is a high honor to collaborate with people as they navigate life, with all its pangs, pleasures, and plateaus. More and more, I find I'm working with people who are sensitive to - and feel the pain of - being alive during such uncertain times on this planet. jocelynmosser.com https://www.kintsugitherapistcollective.com/kate-weaver daily 0.75 2024-03-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6191a60d71dd59539a92fa48/02483dbb-f102-4252-9072-479db27b19ed/kate+headshot.jpg Kate Weaver - Meet Kate Kate Weaver, LMFT she/her Hello! My name is Kate and I am a queer, white therapist practicing in unceded Tongva land (Los Angeles). I work with queer/LGBTQIA+ adults, focusing on issues like identity, self esteem/self worth, dating and relational challenges, trauma, and life transitions. I also facilitate groups at a dual-diagnosis mental health treatment program. In my clinical practice, I work to provide trauma-informed, queer affirming and competent, culturally sensitive + responsive therapy, drawing from relational, somatic, and cognitive frameworks and validating the unique experience of each individual. My goal is to create an environment of respect, rooted in a desire to learn from and support people in their process of healing, wherever they might be. It is imperative that the work I do is liberation-oriented, examining and challenging my own privileges, supporting and uplifting marginalized identities and communities, and building community with others focused on anti-oppression, social justice, and decolonizing mental healthcare. https://www.kintsugitherapistcollective.com/laura-grossman daily 0.75 2024-03-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6191a60d71dd59539a92fa48/b0beda02-0a1c-41dc-92f8-8319ab26fed1/Laura+G.jpg Laura Grossman - Meet Laura Laura Grossman, LMFT Huchiun Ohlone Land (also known as Berkeley, CA) Gemini she/her Hey there! I'm Laura Grossman. I'm an individual, couples, and group therapist (and dog mom) who proudly identifies as queer. My passion lies in helping individuals and couples navigate life's ups and downs, especially those who identify as queer and trans. My practice is grounded in compassion, respect, and a deep understanding of the intersecting challenges faced by the LGBTQ+ community. I hold space for clients to navigate issues such as gender identity, sexual orientation, relationship dynamics, and self-acceptance. I find great pleasure in honoring the humanness in all of us. Whether that’s through recognizing the impact of oppression, the attempts we make to “feel better”, or being witness to all the messy parts that make up the self, the role of therapist is one that I hold with great care. My identity as a white, queer, fat, class privileged, able-bodied, cisgender woman of Jewish and European heritage means that I will always be committed to ongoing learning regarding privilege, white supremacy, disability justice, and oppression. I do not believe therapy can ever be a space free from the impacts of oppression, but my involvement in the Kintsugi Therapist Collective is one of the ways in which I seek to continue learning, minimize harm, and embody my commitment to liberation for all. www.lauragrossmantherapy.com IG: @lauragrossmantherapy https://www.kintsugitherapistcollective.com/laura-welp daily 0.75 2025-01-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6191a60d71dd59539a92fa48/b905980b-783c-4d98-8c4f-312820bbdb97/KTC_headshot.jpg Laura Welp - Meet Laura Laura R Welp, MA, LMHC (MA) she/her laurawelplmhc@gmail.com 617-866-0317 https://www.kintsugitherapistcollective.com/lior-effinger-weintraub daily 0.75 2024-03-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6191a60d71dd59539a92fa48/79a6b56d-17ee-4a0b-b036-c2965d856e54/Lior+headshot.jpg Lior Effinger-Weintraub - Meet Lior Leora (Lior) Effinger-Weintraub, MSW, LICSW (MN) practicing on occupied ancestral lands of the Dakota people (Minneapolis, MN) they/them I am a mixed race, queer, trans, nonbinary, invisibly disabled, and pagan human, who came to my clinical social work practice after a previous career in public service. One of my core values is authenticity and I focus on using my identity and presence to create a true safe place for my clients, honoring and making space for all of the intersections of our being human in this complicated world. I work from a trauma-informed, harm reduction, and attachment-based perspective, and leverage my liberatory beliefs to dismantle the pathologizing stance of the medical model. Our deepest hurts come from relationships and our truest healing can come through relationships. The goal of my practice is to offer my clients an experience of a true other within a securely attached therapeutic alliance, unlocking their potential to manifest their most resourced self. The modality I use most is Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) and I am a level-2 trained AEDP therapist. I specialize in working with LGBTQ+ clients, especially those with complex experiences of trauma, dissociation, and plurality. Together with my clients, we explore identity, relationships, and how to heal within a societal structure that oppresses us. https://www.socialworkingqueer.com/home lior@socialworkingqueer.com https://instagram.com/socialworkingqueer https://www.kintsugitherapistcollective.com/liz-afton daily 0.75 2024-03-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6191a60d71dd59539a92fa48/b079fda0-0cbb-41d5-aec8-5b6a63ad4fa8/liz-FINAL.jpg Liz Afton - Meet Liz Liz Afton, LMSW (NY) Cancer Sun / Pisces Moon / Leo Rising they/she Hello! My name is Liz and I am a white, queer, neurodivergent, non-binary femme person living and working with invisible disabilities on unceded Lenape land in Queens, NY. I launched my virtual private therapy and integrative coaching practice at the start of COVID, guided by trauma informed, harm reduction, human rights, and neurobiological frameworks and centered around the needs of queer and trans survivors, sex workers, artists, activists, caregivers, and neurodivergent and chronically ill people. It is a great honor to me that the majority of my client referrals are word of mouth from within the communities I serve. I offer an eclectic and empowering model of care that blends attachment based therapy, somatic parts work, mindful self compassion, creative arts, ancestral healing, and spiritual ritual work in genuine partnership with my clients. My relationship and intimacy coaching is enthusiastically polyamory/ENM and kink affirming. I aim to support people to be their most authentic selves, free of shame, and to befriend all their complexity. I currently facilitate a free monthly drop-in sex worker support group, and in the past have created groups with themes of Somatic Parts Work for Gender Expansion, Self Care for Caregivers, and Compassion to Action: Transforming White Shame. I also provide training and consultation to organizations on themes of trauma informed care, LGBTQ+ cultural competency, sex worker health, and burnout prevention for providers. My previous experiences in a gender and sex therapy practice, full spectrum doula work, pleasure-centered sex education, and over a decade of advocating for sex workers and human trafficking survivors in legal and health care settings have helped me develop a deep commitment to the interconnectivity of mind, body, and spirit in our collective healing and liberation. therapy@lizafton.com https://www.kintsugitherapistcollective.com/lorraine-irlam daily 0.75 2024-03-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6191a60d71dd59539a92fa48/f89790b7-8a09-4f2e-8b52-3517ecd07e61/Lorraine+headshot.jpeg Lorraine Irlam - Meet Lorraine Lorraine Irlam, MA (Vancouver, BC) Registered Clinical Counsellor she/her Living and working in Vancouver, BC – unceded Coast Salish territories, including xwməθkwəy̓ əm (Musqueam), Səl̓ ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) and Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish) Nations. After over 20 years of dependency on sleep meds, I’m happy to say that I’ve fully recovered from chronic insomnia and now specialize in helping others learn how to sleep and live well. I love helping people stop wasting their lives (or at least, quality of life) to insomnia. Anyone struggling with insomnia knows how hard it is to enjoy life to the fullest without good sleep. And improving sleep often leads to improvement in depression, anxiety and even PTSD symptoms. It is key to almost everything! My background and training include: • All things sleep, including: o CBT-I (aka Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia – it’s not your usual CBT!) o Sleep-related anxiety o Nightmares o Parasomnias o Pediatric sleep o Circadian rhythm issues and disorders o Shift Work Disorder • Anxiety • Depression • Grief and loss • Chronic illness and other disabilities • Trauma • Feminist therapy • Mindful Self-Compassion • Acceptance and Commitment therapy As a multiply disabled therapist, I’m excited to be joining a collective that centers marginalized voices and experiences, while aiming to deconstruct and minimize the inherent power imbalance in therapeutic relationships. I look forward to the support and collective wisdom of the many KTC members.

I identify as a white, queer, neurodivergent, gender-expansive femme healer who navigates chronic illness. My practice is informed by my own experience in these identities as well as an intersex genetic condition called Turner Syndrome. Unpacking internalized ableism and unmasking have been a big part of my own trajectory over the last few years! I hold a master’s degree from the University of California, Berkeley School of Social Welfare, where I concentrated in Community Mental Health. I spent the beginning of my career working on domestic violence hotlines and serving children and youth, including immigrants and refugees, at community-based clinics and school health centers before pivoting into private practice. My therapy practice was created with the needs of queer disabled and neurodivergent folks at the center. It is deeply influenced and inspired by the inherent strengths, resilience, and wisdom of these communities. I bring a relational, queer-and-neurodiversity-affirming lens into the therapeutic space and utilize a blend of parts work, somatic work, and Attachment Focused Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to support folks to heal from trauma, connect to their body-heart-minds and move in the direction of safety, empowerment, joy and meaning. Some of my favorite wisdom teachers during these pandemic times include disability justice organizers such as Stacey Park Milbern and Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha. I’m deeply honored and excited to be joining the Kintsugi Therapist Collective cohort at this time in my professional and personal development. At a time of deep collective pain and isolation, I believe that community is vital to sustainability as we strive towards collective liberation!

I came into the therapy field to create a private practice serving QT survivors of sexual violence through expressive arts, ecospiritual, and somatic therapy. After offering this work for over a decade, I began to focus on supporting QT empaths, change makers, and creatives who experienced the trauma of abuse and ongoing oppression. I re-named my practice The Joyful Empath as a way of honoring the revolutionary nature of empathy and joy in the movement for liberation. Empathy and joy is our aliveness remembered. I am deeply critical of our field, and dedicated to both working to decolonize the inherently oppressive mental health industrial complex from within, while also exploring what a liberation focused healing practice could look like outside of the field. One that is based in community care, ancestral healing, and centering the wisdom of lived experience and those most impacted. Deep appreciation to the Kintsugi Collective for creating a space where we can come together as full human beings while envisioning and practicing a world where care work is sustainable for all. It is especially needed through this time of crisis, revolution and ongoing transformation. I am grateful to the survivors, healers, QT ancestors, disability justice and liberation movement elders, and Spirit for leading the way that we may learn and grow for the generations to come. May we honor your wisdom.

I’m Rachel, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and my practice Reclaim to Restore Counseling offers therapy that is creative, culturally affirming, neurodivergent affirming, social justice oriented for people in California. As a clinician I have had the opportunity to work in a variety of settings ranging from: memory care facilities, homes of neurodivergent children, creatives, first generation students, and beyond. I have worked as an elementary school based therapist, in the non profit space and now continue to see folks in my own practice. The foundation of my work is compassion based care. I enjoy creating a safe, affirming, collaborative space for us to co-create the best treatment plan that fits your needs. I pull from a variety of Intersectional and trauma Informed interventions to ensure the therapy space honors your identity, values, culture, and experiences. My aim is to assist you in processing and reframing your life narrative to one that is free of shame. I believe in empowering you as the expert in your life. I have had the privilege of receiving training in a BIPOC Brainspotting phase 1 training in 2022 along with a Level 3 Integrative Somatic Parts work certificate in 2023. Work with my clients aims to prove that therapy can be unconventional. We can look at who you are as a complex person not in need of fixing but instead in need of being witnessed and understood. I want people to know their rage, their fear, their irritability, their dark humor, their hobbies and comfort characters all have a place in therapy with me. I want people to know we can hold grief while also making space for joy, we can honor and work with rage, and we learn how important it is for healing. I want people to know we can create excitement and also feel uncertainty, and that forgiveness is never necessary to find peace and safety. I want people to know that working with me means together we get to figure out how to define a life of feeling seen and hopeful. I love working with: creatives, neurodivergent folks, anxiety, perfectionism, cultural trauma, cultural identity, educators, helpers, activists, performers, and those looking for insight focused therapy with a gentle yet collaborative style.

I center my practice on supporting queer couples and young adult individuals, with an increased awareness of equity and abolitionism, and dedication to share a safe place from oppression for black and brown bodies of culture. We all move through the world with a story about who we are, both to ourselves and in relation with others. I don’t see one style as therapy for beneficial for everyone, and instead choose to use narrative therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, hard questions and deep curiosity, among other things — to journey with my clients. I’m not the expert, I’m a strong hand through hold walking through the tunnel of whatever is bringing you to therapy in this moment. I am laidback, soft spoken, and assign homework. I am not afraid of the road of unlearning, of uncovering, and bringing you back to yourself. I work in a collective with a group of amazing clinicians, who provide support and networking. https://www.throughtherapy.com/therapists/rebecca-berry

located on unceded Mohican, Munsee Lenape, and Schaghticoke land aka Rockland County, NY Libra Sun / Taurus Moon / Libra Rising she/they My name is Akilah and I am a Black/mixed race/genderfluid/queer/nondisabled therapist living on unceded Munsee Lenape, Schaghticoke, and Mohican land. I work with folks virtually across NY, CT, and NJ in my private practice which centers the needs of QTBIPOC folks. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck despite having a lot of insight into their trauma, depression, disordered eating, and/or anxiety. I works with folks feeling stuck to facilitate change from a trauma-informed, evidence-based, anti-oppressive framework. I am especially committed to serving the QTBIPOC community and love working with people who are grappling with what healing and wellness mean in a world where trauma and oppression are ongoing. I am a Certified Body Trust® provider who is also trained in EMDR (a therapy that can reduce the impact of trauma symptoms). I use these trainings and a variety of therapeutic techniques to help people move toward more connection, rootedness, and peace in life. As a Body Trust® provider, I love working with people on improving their relationship to food and their body with size equity and inclusivity in mind. I am attuned to how identity shapes our experience, including the conversation that unfolds in therapy, and I’m dedicated to exploring this with clients. Outside of private practice, I enjoy cooking, reading fiction, being in nature, and if we’re being real, reality tv. I schedule free 20 minute consultations with anyone interested in beginning therapy with me.

My name is Anna Siembor. I am a white, queer, nonbinary Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker based in Western Massachusetts. I work with queer and transgender young adults and adults in my practice. My work focuses at the intersections of identity work (particularly the challenges of embodying a new identity) and healing from attachment trauma/trauma experienced in childhood. My approach to therapy is warm, boundaried, humorous, and deeply empathetic. I am trained in EMDR and DBT, and utilize elements from both in my practice. Primarily, I am a relational therapist, meaning I believe the relationship between therapist and client is paramount. Together, we work to build a relationship that acts as both a safe haven and a secure base as we tackle challenging or scary topics. I also work with fat people looking to find neutrality with their bodies using a fat liberation lens, as well as folks looking for a harm-reduction approach to substance use and other so-called “risky” behaviors.

I’m a biracial (Black and white) woman psychotherapist, based in New York City. I believe the foundation of therapy is the relationship between therapist and client, and I center that relationship in our work together. My style is curious, compassionate, transparent, and collaborative. We will work as partners to navigate challenges, gain insight into your inner experiences and patterns, process your feelings, and develop new coping skills and strategies. Therapy with me isn’t about “fixing” – I believe each person already has skills and strengths that have helped you make it this far, and together we can collaborate to develop new skills, while adjusting those that no longer serve you. I practice from a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, anti-racist lens, which means I approach therapy with the understanding and recognition that people do not exist in a vacuum. Your experiences, upbringing, culture, race, sexuality, gender, family, and other intersecting parts of your identity shape you, your relationships, family dynamics, work life, and of course, your mental health. I take great joy from working with people of all different backgrounds and experiences, and I center working with those of marginalized or oppressed identities, especially BIPOC and LGBTQ+ folks, to create a therapeutic space that is affirming and culturally responsive. I pull from a variety of techniques and modalities as a therapist to individualize therapy for each person. These approaches include ACT (acceptance and commitment therapy), CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), psychodynamic, EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing), attachment theory, and systems theory. People most often work with me to navigate difficulties associated with anxiety, depression, life transitions, dysfunctional family relationships and childhoods, racial and cultural identity, gender, sexual assault, and trauma. I look forward to getting to know you!

Some of my most important values are love, justice, compassion and community. My clinical specialty is in healing trauma integrating EMDR, mindfulness, compassion, somatic and narrative practices. I love supporting parents and the neurodivergent community. I believe in the power of radical love to overcome pain and suffering and transform our hearts and our world. I am a white, cisgender, neurodivergent woman with lived(ing) experience with madness. My journey as a parent, a therapist and through my own suffering has led me to unlearning oppressive ways of being with myself, my loved ones, and my clients. I am learning about radical love, care, liberation and hope. I am committed to continued learning and unlearning about privilege and oppression, intersectionality, disability justice and ways to reduce harm within the therapy room and in broader communities. I provide services in person in San Marcos, California and virtually throughout California.

I support my clients through life’s challenges and periods of growth and evolution, using a trauma-informed, intersectional lens. I strive to be a warm and engaging therapist who sees it as a privilege to accompany my clients through their life’s difficulties, accomplishments, and times of change. As a therapist and a human, my primary value is compassion for others. This means I take into account our identities and lived experiences when working together. I recognize how my clients are impacted by the larger world socially, culturally, and politically, and how these contribute to their emotional and mental health. I don’t see a client’s concerns as an individual problem, rather quite often an understandable response to a stressful and chaotic world. I am also another person in the “room,” not an expert or a silent observer. Being a person who lives in, and is also impacted by, this world allows me to connect, relate, and support even when clients' lived experiences are very different from mine. From this foundation, some of the work I do is with folks exploring gender identity and sexuality, eating and body image issues, substance use through a harm reduction lens, and life transitions. Sometimes clients want to talk about their week, at other times they want to unburden themselves from past traumas. I make the space for both and much more, all without judgment. I know one size does not fit all, and people are working to figure out how to live a more authentic and fulfilling life. I am committed to helping clients understand themselves better and manage anxiety, depression, and other struggles within that context. I support clients in developing a deeper sense of self-compassion and peace with who they are, all the while challenging harmful internalized thoughts and beliefs thrust upon us.

I am physically located on unceded Lenape land, in Brooklyn, NY and am licensed to provide therapy to residents of New York State and North Carolina. Identities I hold include white, queer, femme, Leo, anti-Zionist Jew, recovering burnt out non-profit employee, and mom to a pitbull named David. I strive to create a therapeutic space that is a non-pathologizing, authentic, and collaborative relationship, and draw from anti-oppressive and liberatory therapeutic approaches to uplift the expertise my clients bring to our treatment. I have specialized training in behavior therapy (including dialectical behavior therapy and exposure and response prevention therapy), mindfulness based therapy, and ketamine assisted psychotherapy. I have over a decade of experience as a professional care worker with sex workers, LGBQ folks, trans and gender expansive people, and those engaged in non-normative relationship practices such as kink, BDSM, and polyamory. As a therapy client myself, I know how invalidating it can feel to work with a provider who does not understand my identities or values. I am particularly drawn to provide affirming therapy to individuals who have had their own invalidating experiences with therapists in the past.

I strive to create a different kind of space in my therapeutic approach. I view therapy as a collaborative process, recognizing that each unique individual requires different kinds of support, which can change over time. I am a multiracial (half white and half Japanese), cisgender, queer woman, with an immigrant parent and firsthand understanding of the complexities of navigating a multicultural family. My personal experience lends itself to professional curiosity and empathy in my role as a therapist. I have specialized training in multicultural psychology, LGBTQ+ psychology, and treatment of trauma (including adult survivors of childhood trauma). I utilize intersectional feminist therapy as the framework from which I integrate relational, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and trauma focused interventions. Feminist therapy for me includes the dismantling of internalized oppressive hierarchies and this work often involves discussion of various social locations and how cultural/societal narratives have impacted us. I earned a doctorate in clinical psychology from the Graduate School of Professional Psychology at the University of Denver, completed my internship at the Center for Multicultural Training in Psychology at Boston Medical Center, and completed my postdoctoral residency at AIDS Care Group/Mosaic Medical Center for LGBTQ+ Health & Wellness.

Nevertheless, I decided to join the Kintsugi Therapist Collective to be in community with other therapists who were focused on building community. Prior to working in a solo private practice, I have worked in a non-profit and a group practice providing therapy to those within the BIPOC and LGBTQ community. I strive to collaborate with clients in providing psychotherapy where client’s feel safe, heard, and free to express themselves without judgment. I can be particularly helpful in helping others develop more self-acceptance, more insight, and teach you different tools to support your mental health and well-being. Additionally, I am trained in Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, CBT, and couples/relationship therapy for couples and polycules. My approach focuses on collaboration with clients to help them find what works best for you. My specialties include but are not limited to supporting those experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, grief/loss, chronic pain, racial trauma, complex PTSD, relational/family stress, life transition, body image issues, relationship issues.

My name is Sam and I’m a queer, white, neurodivergent, non-binary femme originally from the Deep South. I’ve had the privilege of calling New York home for the last decade and currently work as a psychotherapist seeing clients both in-person and virtually. My private practice celebrates and centers the experiences of Queer, Trans, & gender-expansive folks and those seeking to explore new dimensions of their identity. My approach to therapy is a concoction of my own complex healing journey, lived experience navigating “othered” identities, 15 years of learning both in the classroom and in the community, and an endless flow of genuine curiosity. I practice utilizing frameworks that acknowledge the harm caused by larger social systems of oppression and embrace the depth of intersectionality, nuance, and contradiction. I believe that therapy is most powerful when we enter from a space to be witnessed and not “worked on” and will honor your experience from a non-pathologizing, non-judgmental lens. I encourage the unconventional and you can expect another wonderfully weird human in the room and on the journey with you. I’ve found the most kindred connections working with older teens & emerging adults, LGBTQ+ & gender expansive people, sex workers & nightlife performers, those deconstructing conditioning, people who practice kink, BDSM, or non-normative relational structures, and all those seeking to embody ever-evolving, authentic versions of themselves. When I’m not with clients, you can find me in the audience (and on occasion the stage!) at the local drag & burlesque shows. Or more often, shamelessly doting over my feline familiar, Tostones, who often joins my sessions and ostensibly runs my business & household. https://www.samsilortherapy.com hello@samsilorpsychotherapy.com https://www.kintsugitherapistcollective.com/kim-lacorte daily 0.75 2024-09-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6191a60d71dd59539a92fa48/c9e549c4-3e0c-4a5e-8cfd-d805fc987d3a/Pic.jpeg Kim Lacorte - Meet Kim Kimberly (Kim) Lacorte, LPC, ATR (TX) she/her/we/us “Remember, no one can make you feel inferior without your consent.” Eleanor Roosevelt Hello, fellow journeyer, and welcome! I commend you for taking a step forward in discovering your joy, your resilience, and how certain challenging events are impacting your innate value. Are you at a crossroads or have you experienced a life event that may affect being able to show up and be present with yourself and with your important relationships? If so, let’s talk. I would be honored to get to know you better. I am trained as an art therapist and invite you into a space where together we can foster safety, leverage your strengths, and allow me to bear witness to your struggles. You are naturally creative and bring your own unique expressiveness. Sometimes words aren’t enough and your story is a sum of different parts. Do you like to doodle, draw or paint, write poetry or music, dance, dabble in spoken word? Or perhaps you enjoy other sensory contact such as sifting through sand, popping bubble wrap, crocheting, sewing, or the smell of a good book as you flip through pages? Whatever that looks like, I encourage you to embrace what feels right for you in the moment. Some of life’s memorable moments can have lasting effects on our well-being and influence our day to day. We are living in a unique time and we all have experienced feelings of disappointment and loss. Whether it’s due to isolation from your support, a close friend or family member who passed away, adapting to work-from-home life or social justice issues, we can navigate these struggles together. I welcome the opportunity to work with BIPOC, LGBTQIA+ individuals and parents. I enjoy traveling, checking out new playgrounds, trying new foody dishes, and making a beautiful mess with my two toddlers. Whatever shore you decide to land on, know that . . . “You’re braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.” (A.A.

I provide virtual therapy services to clients across the state of Vermont. In our sessions, you can expect a therapeutic space that is thoughtful, playful, and energetic. I strive to bring my personality into our work, creating a space where healing happens through authentic connection and mutual understanding. I primarily work with queer and trans adults who are dealing with negative body image and disordered eating. Many of my clients come to me feeling a deep disconnection from their bodies as if they are living from the neck up. I am dedicated to supporting individuals in reconnecting with their bodies in ways that feel authentic, dynamic, and uniquely theirs. My therapeutic framework is grounded in principles of body liberation, disability justice, and trauma-informed care. In my practice, I integrate various therapeutic approaches, including social-cultural, EMDR (Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing ) narrative therapy, and somatic techniques, to address the multifaceted nature of each individual’s experiences. My approach is informed by a deep respect for each person’s unique journey and a commitment to working against societal pressures and restrictive norms. I believe therapy can be a powerful space for exploring and understanding all aspects of yourself, helping you discover new ways of being that feel more aligned. I am here to actively support you throughout this journey. I will celebrate your successes and support you in navigating difficult times. I believe meaningful progress occurs within a genuine and engaged therapeutic relationship. I offer one-on-one therapy and EMDR intensives.

As a therapist, I have worked in public and private settings such as group practices, community mental health centers, and "correctional" settings. I have experience in supporting clients through self-harm, parenting concerns, suicidality, substance use concerns, depression, anxiety, trauma, people-pleasing, cultural concerns, relationship difficulties, and ADHD. I utilize eclectic modalities to achieve your goals and have received intensive training in DBT, DBT-PE, Motivational Interviewing, person-centered therapy, couples therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Experiential Therapy. I also hold an anti-carceral and neurodivergence-affirming approach to mental health concerns.

My pronouns are she/her and I’m biracial-Black. I initially entered the mental health field as a way of better understanding and healing myself. When working with me, you can expect a truly holistic approach to mental health that honors the interplay between your mind, body, spirit, and relationships—each a vital component of who you are. My approach to therapy harmonizes evidence-based practices, Western psychology, nature-based healing and energy work in a way that feels truly integrated and personal. My work supports those wanting to get free from the pain of the past and grow. I especially love working with “the strong ones” or those ready to recover from taking on more responsibility than feels sustainable. You are worthy of support and ease; I’m here when you’re ready to refill your cup.

As a queer, trans therapist with chronic illness, I have worked primarily with trauma, neurodivergence, and queerness. Grief is braided into all of those things, and after major and sudden losses in my own life, I have more intentionally shifted the focus of my work to include death, dying, and grief. I am a certified end-of-life doula and have completed the grief immersion course with Inviting Abundance. I trust that life has a way of guiding us to where we’re supposed to be, even when the path there is surprising. My primary goal in my private practice is to create a safe, open, judgment-free environment where people can be witnessed. I believe people at every age are the experts of their experience and have the answers they seek already within them. My approach is rooted in object relations and attachment theories. I believe that our drive to attach, and how we learn to relate to others early in our lives, significantly influences how we move through the world and interact with ourselves and others today. Growing up in a working poor family with generational trauma, I know oppressive systems also influence how we come to know trust, our bodies, and will likely show up in our experience of therapy.

Currently in private practice, they are honored to partner with clients in exploring and healing their inner and outer worlds. Essie works from an anti-oppressive, psychodynamic, and attachment-oriented framework with teens and adults, most of whom are multiply marginalized in their gender, sexuality, race, neurotype, relationship orientation, and/or [dis]ability. As a trained social worker, they understand that individuals are deeply impacted by intersecting systems of oppression. Essie supports clients in navigating oppressive systems and experiences in their everyday lives, as well as in their personal and ancestral pasts. As many marginalized communities have been (and continue to be) disenfranchised and mistreated by the mental health field, Essie is committed to addressing power dynamics in the therapy room and working toward more just and equitable methods of change. Outside of the therapy room, Essie also trains mental health clinicians on affirmative care for those living at the margins.

As an ICF-certified coach, with certifications in ACT, CBT, and Integrative Somatics Parts Work, supporting transitional-aged youth, women, LGBTQ+ individuals, immigrants, and BIPOC communities for over a decade. My approach is also shaped by my journey of struggle and the deep work I have done around belonging, identity, and self-acceptance. These experiences have cultivated my empathy and commitment to supporting others in their growth and healing. As Lama Rod Owens said, “There’s no liberation without actually leaning forward and looking at the things that we habitually run away from, in order to see things as they really are, not as we have imagined them.” This quote deeply resonates with my mission to help clients connect with their highest Self to better understand and compassionately engage with the inner parts we often avoid—those shaped by life’s challenges. By strengthening this connection, I support clients in healing and integrating mind and body, cultivating a deeper sense of wholeness and self-compassion. Stepping into community, vulnerability, and support is why joining Kintsugi Therapy Collective is so important. I look forward to being part of a community of practitioners who value caring for ourselves, sharing where we are stuck and need support, and celebrating our wins together. This community of vulnerability and support often fosters connection and allows me to witness the humanity in all of us, deepening and expanding my compassion for both others and myself.

I came to this line of work following my own transformative experiences in therapy as well as encounters with racism, queerphobia, and relational trauma and a concurrent desire to make sense of and tend to these experiences. My interest in the connections between and amongst the intrapersonal, interpersonal, and sociopolitical, as well as the multifaceted relationship between mind and body, led me to pursue social work as well as train as a yoga teacher, seek further training in psychodynamic, relational, and experiential modalities, and ground myself in anti-oppressive praxis. I take special interest in working with queer and trans folks, BIPOC, emerging adults, and first- and second-generation individuals. An ongoing interrogation of white supremacy, cisheteropatriarchy, capitalism, and colonialism informs my stance, as does my commitment to my own continuing education and healing processes. As a therapist, I strive to center warmth, humility, and curiosity in my work with my patients. Together, we might examine the impact that prior and ongoing experiences and relationships have on your current life, notice and shift patterns that get in the way of living the life you want, learn from the dynamics that emerge in our work, gently observe and be with feelings and sensations that come up during our sessions, and practice strategies and skills to cultivate clarity, self-compassion, and empowerment. I am honored to do this work and strongly believe in each person’s capacity for healing and the power of deepening our relationships to ourselves and each other as a means by which to facilitate that healing. Lastly, my time working in residential treatment, school-based settings, hospital settings, and community mental health, as well as all I have learned and continue to learn from my past and present patients, shapes my approach and relationship to this role. I am not in private practice at this time and will update this page with contact information should this change. https://www.kintsugitherapistcollective.com/lee-robin daily 0.75 2025-03-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6191a60d71dd59539a92fa48/78bffe11-58a2-4d6d-9a1e-9c36b903f0a3/Lee+headshot.jpeg Lee Robin - Meet Lee Lee Robin, LMBT, BCST, SEP (NC) Somatic Bodyworker and Coach ze/zir Scorpio Sun / Capricorn Moon / Pisces Rising I am a queer, trans, and neurospicy Somatic Bodyworker and Coach living on Cherokee land in the Appalachian Mountains in a small town called Asheville, North Carolina. I work with folks virtually worldwide, and in-person in Asheville. I didn’t always call these mountains home and grew up on Hohokam land in the Sonoran Desert. That place, the plants, animals, sky, smells, sand, sun, weather, heat, thorns, flowers, stars, all of it is anchored deep within my bones. I was always surrounded by animals and have always had a deep kinship with creatures and plants and the land. The way I work is informed by my life experience, my community, nature, and a strong desire for us to all be free. I have spent most of my life in study and practice, and along the way have come to realize that there is more depth in the space that is beyond words and definition than any tool or modality could hold. The experience of somatics is really an art, an instinct, a wisdom that is already alive in you. In session together we weave a relational container and support your system to integrate what is emerging for you. These sessions are a mix of body-led talk focus and experiential somatic exploration. Somatic Bodywork with Biodynamic CranioSacral Therapy is another way to experience the work you are holding, by accessing your own self-healing mechanism and making space for stillness to deepen. Each approach informs the other and has its own potent way of supporting integration. My practice is centered on queer and trans folks. Many people who find me are also neurodivergent, have chronic illness, or are disabled. I am also a good fit for change-makers who are on a path towards liberation to cultivate a world they want to see. By finding somatic practices that help us embody our liberation we are not only supported to survive but to transcend to a place beyond where we can just BE and THRIVE.

I am a white, queer, transgender Licensed Clinical Social Worker working on the traditional and unceded homeland of the Canarsie, Munsee Lenape, and Wappinger people also known as New York City. As a queer and transgender therapist, I specialize in working with LGBTQ+ young adults and adults, focusing on authenticity, self-discovery, and healing from attachment trauma. My practice is grounded in Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, for which I completed Level 1 training through the IFS Institute in 2023. I am committed to ongoing professional development, harm reduction strategies, and fat liberation principles. These commitments inform my therapeutic approach, advocacy work, and personal growth. My practice is rooted in anti-oppressive frameworks, recognizing the impact of systemic oppression on mental health and well-being. I strive to challenge discriminatory practices and promote social justice, equity, and self-determination in my work. Outside of my private practice, you can find me drinking seltzer playing with my dog, and listening to comedy podcasts that feature queer and trans comedians. I can be reached at therapy@edenkatz.com or at my website. https://www.kintsugitherapistcollective.com/ellison-rugg daily 0.75 2025-03-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6191a60d71dd59539a92fa48/4a329497-51dd-4702-903a-911c414b8445/KTC+Headshot+Ellison.jpg Ellison Rugg - Meet Ellison Ellison (Cicada) Rugg, LMHC (MA) they/it cancer sun / cancer moon / sagittarius rising Hello! My name is Ellison, and I’m a white, autistic, queer, non-monogamous, disabled, kinky and trans-nonbinary therapist living and working in Eastern Massachusetts (on unceded Agawam, Nipmuc, Pawtucket, and Wabanaki land). I believe in decolonizing therapy and building intersectional spaces for healing. My identities inform my work both through specific lived experiences and the ways those experiences have shaped my worldview. My goal in therapy is never to help people become "better" according to any one cultural group or diagnostic manual. Instead, I hope to explore each individual's deeply held values, beliefs, and identities and then work to dismantle the barriers--internal, structural, systemic, and generational--that hold us back from fully expressing that authentic self in the world. I am first and foremost an existential therapist, and my practice is grounded in the belief that humans individually and collectively create meaning in our lives. I believe that both suffering and joy are core parts of a universal human experience, and as a therapist my role is to help each client navigate their suffering and fully embody their joy. While I integrate a variety of therapy models into my work, I am partial to existential therapy, IFS/parts work, and person-centered therapy. I hope to decenter the Western medical framework of therapy and offer the broadest possible range of what therapy "looks like"--healing and self-actualization exist not just in speaking out loud about our experiences, but in narrative, metaphor, art, music, movement, coregulation, community, play, communion with nature, and relationship. I strive to create a safe space for exploration and discovery--bring your whole self and show me how you heal. www.capycounseling.com | ellison@capycounseling.com | (351)220-1975 https://www.kintsugitherapistcollective.com/amber-arnold daily 0.75 2025-03-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6191a60d71dd59539a92fa48/1030ace7-3682-450d-a83d-20de9b4138f2/ArnoldAmberPhoto.jpg Amber Arnold - Meet Amber Amber Arnold she/her Amber Arnold is a Taurus Sun, Sagittarius Moon, and Scorpio Rising—a Black multiracial Black Womanist somatic and embodiment coach, ritualist, herbalist, sound healer, and artist.

I’m Resha. I’m a third-generation healing arts practitioner and licensed clinical social worker. I identify as a neuroqueer, mixed (Iraqi and Welsh), cisgender woman. My passion lies in helping individuals who identify as LGBTQ2IA+, neurodivergent, and/or mixed come into or back to themselves with compassion, self-understanding, and awe. My practice as a therapist weaves together my knowledge and training of Western psychotherapies, my life experiences, and my intuition. Modalities I use include relational psychodynamic psychotherapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), parts work, and somatic based interventions. I also use body sensations, images, humor, and metaphor as important tools and sources of information. My practice is kink & BDSM informed and affirming, as well as sex work allied. Within our current paradigm, I don't believe that therapy can be fully free from systems of oppression and harm. My involvement with Kintsugi Therapist Collective is an act of accountability in continuing to unlearn and develop in community. I provide services virtually across California and in person in Northeast Los Angeles.

I received my B.A in Psychology from Bowdoin College in 2017 and my MSW from the University of Pennsylvania in 2021. A few years ago I began experiencing chronic pain from a condition called hip dysplasia and I have been navigating the physical and emotional changes it has brought to my life. I am in the process of developing my private practice. My work is grounded in the belief that some level of liberation is possible despite the challenges of our social, political, and economic systems. I’m focused on using identity development as an avenue to help people explore and cultivate a sense of self, passion, and purpose. The more we are aware of those things the better we can shed what is harmful to us and keep what is helpful. I am also interested in helping people through trauma processing, life transitions, grief & loss, and anxiety. Outside of my professional interests, I love watching the sun set, trying new arts and crafts projects, dancing, and playing games on my Nintendo Switch :) https://www.kintsugitherapistcollective.com/ohio daily 0.75 2026-03-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6191a60d71dd59539a92fa48/fc06523a-a130-41f9-9ccb-0f203296287b/Ellen+H+-+headshot.jpg Ohio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6191a60d71dd59539a92fa48/5c241402-b11d-444e-9327-72df78ade735/Selah.jpg Ohio https://www.kintsugitherapistcollective.com/janeen-singer daily 0.75 2025-03-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6191a60d71dd59539a92fa48/3342ac04-3a24-4020-9b5b-509bcb5847c6/janeen+singer+2025.jpg Janeen Singer - Meet Janeen Janeen Singer, MSW Tewa land / northern NM she / they Sagittarius Sun / Capricorn Rising / Gemini Moon I am a queer dreamworker, therapist, and artist living on Tewa land in northern New Mexico. An extroverted introvert, I value solitude and time exploring in nature as much as connecting with my dearests. I find dreams to be one of the most honest and accessible forms of communication with ancestors, self, and the collective. I also believe dreams are meant to be shared, and so I facilitate ongoing groups (in person on virtually) focused on dreams. I approach therapeutic work compassionately, relationally, and through a decolonial lens. Areas of focus include queer identity, religious trauma, estrangement from family of origin, creativity, grief, recognizing the role of capitalism and oppressive systems in *everything* inside and out, ancestral connection, and healing with nature/recognizing we are nature. I work with people individually and in groups, in person and virtually. ig: @janeensingerstudio website: janeensinger.com https://www.kintsugitherapistcollective.com/amy-desmidt daily 0.75 2025-09-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6191a60d71dd59539a92fa48/e3d2b58b-fd88-4c1a-80ea-3f7b0d9d4884/DSC_0172.jpg Amy DeSmidt - Meet Amy Amy DeSmidt, LMFT Philadelphia, PA she / her Hello! I’m Amy - a white, queer, culturally Jewish, cis woman, Licensed Marriage and Family therapist, and West Coast transplant based in Philadelphia. I am trained in Internal Family Systems (“parts work”) and EMDR and integrate these models to help clients process what keeps them stuck in the past and reconnect with themselves and their important others in the present. I work from a trauma-informed, relational lens with clients impacted by trauma, depression, anxiety, relational distress, and complex attachment experiences. Many of my clients come to therapy struggling to set boundaries, feeling overly responsible for others, and lacking a sturdy sense of self. With warmth and compassion, I support my clients to tune inward, confront these old patterns, and learn new ways of responding. Ultimately, I help clients shift from feeling trapped by their challenges to feeling more embodiment, agency, and groundedness from which to navigate them. In my practice, I aim to create an antioppressive, liberatory space for clients to show up in their full humanity. I hold the impact of our social/political systems on our identities, experiences, and dynamics within therapy. I welcome clients in all of their identities, complexities, joys, and pain. I feel grateful to join in this healing work together. Outside of my practice, I find delight in strong coffee, befriending any cat that will have me, and that suspended moment in the morning before the world begins to bump into you. I’m often traveling, practicing yoga, collaging, and leaving rambling voice messages to far-flung friends.

My work is rooted in the recognition that we all exist within the context of oppressive systems, and that the individual work of therapy can be a transformative tool to support us to be better members of our communities. My goal in therapy is to create a collaborative space in which to rework patterned behaviour and experience new ways of relating. I particularly enjoy working with queer, trans and neurodivergent people, relationship configurations of all kinds, and people at any stage of the perinatal process. My practice is centered in providing trauma-informed therapy, drawing on many theoretical frameworks including psychodynamic, narrative, and somatic work. Outside of my work, I enjoy working with my hands on projects that have a clear beginning and end. I love intricate baking projects, gardening, knitting, and ceramics, and much of my free time recently has been spent learning about herbal medicine.

My name is Eleanor. I am a queer, white, neurodivergent Licensed Clinical Social Worker and psychotherapist based in Chicago, Illinois. I primarily work with people with cognitive impairment and their loved ones, whether due to strokes, traumatic brain injuries, dementia, neurodivergence, chronic health issues (i.e. multiple sclerosis, Long-COVID), or functional neurological symptoms, or some combination thereof. My work experiences range from hospice care to a helpline to skilled nursing to support services for older adults. I aim to work from an anti-racist and anti-oppressive lens. My approach is collaborative and relational, utilizing Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Solutions-Focused Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I also provide Cognitive Rehabilitation, which involves working with individuals and their care partners to implement compensatory tools, strategies, and resources to adapt to and potentially improve upon cognitive issues that impact daily life. I’m a sponge for information and stories, and often utilize podcasts, poetry, and other creative tools, as well as sharing resources, events, and the latest research with colleagues, clients, and let’s be real—my loved ones, too. Whether virtual, in-person, or over the phone, I work to create a warm and open atmosphere. For in-person sessions, I wear a KN95 mask and run an air purifier, and others are not required, however encouraged to mask as well.

I am a White, queer, neurodivergent, polyamorous woman practicing trauma-informed psychotherapy in Chicago, Illinois, which is located on the unceded traditional homelands of the Council of the Three Fires: the Ojibwe, Odawa, and Potawatomi Nations. I initially came to this vocation through having been on the receiving side of both unhelpful therapy and good therapy in my late teens, which instilled in me the desire to become the kind of therapist I wished I could have had the first time. In my current practice, I primarily work with people who identify as neurodivergent, queer, trans, or a combination of the above, as well as with folks who are polyamorous, kinky, or other kinds of relationship-diverse. I practice the principles of harm reduction, sex positivity, disability justice, and anti-oppression work (in all its various forms) to the best of my ability, and I’m always striving to do better tomorrow than I did yesterday. Much of my praxis in the therapy room focuses on EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), which I’ve found to be an outstanding method of helping clients work through trauma while disclosing exactly as much as they want to during the process. I was trained in EMDR in 2021 and have been using it consistently ever since. I also draw from exploratory psychodynamic therapy, parts work (Internal Family Systems), and DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) skills practice as the moment requires.

My practice, The Story Within Holistic Therapy, centers QTBIPOC, neurodivergent, and trauma-impacted clients who are unlearning survival strategies, rewriting inherited narratives, and returning to their truth. I integrate depth psychology, narrative therapy, ancestral healing, and psychedelic integration in a space that honors your pace, your story, and your becoming. Whether you’re healing relational wounds, navigating identity, or tending to transitions, I support clients in reconnecting to their body, values, and voice. https://www.kintsugitherapistcollective.com/ro-oppenheimer daily 0.75 2025-08-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6191a60d71dd59539a92fa48/f44cb672-a267-461f-bd90-844fe91437cb/Ro.jpeg Ro Oppenheimer - Meet Ro Ro Oppenheimer, LCSW they/them My name is Ro Oppenheimer, LCSW and I am a white anti-Zionist Ashkenazi Jewish therapist and artist living on Lenape land in Brooklyn, NY. I offer an on-site combination of loving somatic therapy and bodywork focused on healing relational trauma. I am licensed in NY and CA and also see folks on telehealth. It is an honor of my life to grieve with my clients, to rage and marvel with them, to giggle together with and at ourselves. Being a therapist, to me, is the holy work of accompanying people as they come home to what’s real. I believe in being brave and authentic alongside my clients. Alongside somatic work, I get excited about draglesque, ceramics, Oracle readings, ritual tattooing, play, magic, consent, love in liberatory forms. and other ways of knowing ourselves, each other, and the world. My experiences surviving sexual abuse and an eating disorder, as well as growing up in an insular Zionist Jewish community, were politicizing—and are dear to me in my work with others. I see queer and trans people as visionaries in re/un/discovering what healing and wellness look like under end-stage capitalism. I am excited to join with other radical folks to dream together about mental health care that meets this moment of ecological crisis, genocide, fascism and other urgent collapses. I live with my platonic life partner and angry little supermodel dog, Leonard Cohen. https://www.goldenclovetherapy.com/ https://www.kintsugitherapistcollective.com/kaysyn-hsu daily 0.75 2025-08-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6191a60d71dd59539a92fa48/b3d58310-4742-4e02-9b33-6b05d083957c/Kaysyn.png Kaysyn Hsu - Meet Kaysyn Kaysyn Hsu, LMHC Brooklyn, NY Sagittarius Sun / Capricorn Moon / Taurus Rising they/he In my private practice, I take a collaborative, human-centered approach shaped by intersectional, relational-cultural, and psychodynamic perspectives. I tailor therapy to each person's unique needs, honoring the influence of family history, present-day realities, and diverse identities. As a first-generation queer Asian-American therapist of color, I bring warmth, authenticity, and cultural humility into the room, while also naming and navigating dynamics of power, oppression, and privilege. My goal is to build trust and connection—embracing both my and client's shared humanness—and to support client's in moving toward greater self-honesty, healing, and clarity. https://kaysynhsu-privatepractice.com/ https://www.kintsugitherapistcollective.com/max-ruin daily 0.75 2025-08-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6191a60d71dd59539a92fa48/36aa801c-d5e6-4472-b0db-76957394ba85/IMG_6294.JPG Max Ruin - Meet Max Max Ruin, MHC-LP Lenapehoking, aka Brooklyn, NY Scorpio Sun / Cancer Moon / Gemini Rising they/them I am a white, queer, trans, disabled, chronically ill, neurodivergent, therapist, herbalist, somatic practitioner, and coach who came into this work through the radical mental health movement. I am adamantly anti-carceral, pro sex-worker, anti-racist, and am against borders, policing, and any system that strips people of their autonomy. I studied herbalism and apprenticed at the Terra Sylva School of Botanical Medicine, studied embodied politicized somatics at the Strozzi Institute, and graduated from Brooklyn College with my MHC. I am a member of IDHA and the Liberatory Wellness Network, and take an abolitionist, harm reduction, disability justice lens to my practice. I see therapy clients in NY state, and herbalism, coaching, and somatic clients from all over the world. I spent my twenties and early thirties desperately seeking ethical ways to engage with the world outside of capitalism and fascism; seeking something beyond the systems that treat the human and more than human world as things to be exploited, consumed, and dominated. All the various modalities, diy subcultures, healing paths, and alternative schools of thought get incorporated into my work with clients. Having worked in the mental health field for the past fifteen years, my experience includes paid work, community support, and mutual aid. I believe that therapy is inherently political, and don't think it's possible to address any individual's mental health without also addressing the larger sociopolitical landscape. This also means being actively engaged in anti-racist and anti-zionist work, challenging ableism, fatphobia, xenophobia, and all systems of hate and hierarchy, and committing to lifelong learning so that my clients have competent care. I love working with individuals, couples, polycules, roommates, all different family configurations including chosen families and families of origin, and groups. I don't believe in pathologizing or criminalization of people's identities or modes of survival, and think struggling in a deeply unwell society is a sign of humanity, not illness. There is no system or entity, legal or otherwise, that could compel me to endanger my client’s wellbeing through coercive care or non-consensual treatment. When I’m not working, I’m making gay art, riding my bike, touching trees, collaging zines, reading queer scifi and fiction, tattooing my friends, and infodumping about medicinal plants and how much better the world would be if we looked to mecellial networks as the system to aspire to.

They are queer, trans, chronically ill, and neurodivergent and their lived experience informs their practice. Working from a lens of integrative trauma treatment, they utilize parts work, polyvagal practices, somatic informed practices, and mindfulness skills. Kaitlyn views the therapeutic relationship as highly collaborative and challenges traditional therapy hierarchies by cultivating cooperative working relationships with those they support. Kaitlyn brings knowledge, experience, training, compassion, curiosity, empathy, and attunement, among other qualities, to the counseling relationship. The client brings insight from lived experience. Together, we grow. The settings/areas of specialty Kaitlyn has worked in include trauma, mood disorders, neurodivergence, chronic illness and disability, and learning, intellectual, and developmental disability. They support adolescents, young and older adults, LGBTQIA+, and those navigating the often overwhelming process of transition.

I am a non-binary, queer, neurodivergent (Autistic/ADHD) primary care physician assistant. I decided to become a PA to create a space where folks that have historically been harmed by the medical industrial complex would be believed, trusted in their experience and knowledge of their bodies, as well as find acceptance, inclusion, and understanding. I work with folks who are queer, trans, neurodivergent, use substances, live with HIV, experience chronic illness, and are disabled. My practice is trauma-informed and fully consent based. I subscribe to the Health at Every Size Principles, and I continue to call out and work to minimize the power differential in client interactions. I am constantly searching for ways to improve the care I offer people and recognize places where I can continue to learn and grow. I deeply enjoy my practice of medicine, and I love learning from the people I work with everyday. In my free time, I enjoy building (my previous career), spending time in the mountains I call home, playing the banjo, hanging with community and my three-legged dog, Turtle.

I’m a licensed social worker practicing in Massachusetts. One-on-one therapy with me involves building an authentic relationship, exploring personal storytelling, and working with experiences and feelings that live in the body. The aim of this process is to create more choice and find greater freedom. I have a training background in psychodynamic theory, somatics, and liberatory mental health. I work with clients across the lifespan, and I’m often a good fit for care workers, queer and trans people, teens, and those with spiritual or creative practices. Affirming and connective spaces for mental health workers are crucial for sustaining in the field. I’m excited about meeting colleagues in the Embodied Private Practice Cohort who are similarly oriented to the necessity for radically human and curious approaches to therapeutic work. With so much that is reactionary and extractive in mental health care systems, I am looking forward to building relationships that can help keep us afloat.

My work thus far has attuned me to the necessity and the power of sensitivity and curiosity, and as a result, I bring a trauma- and systems-informed approach to my work that prioritizes making full room for the honest intersections who each of us is in the world. Perhaps most fundamentally, I see therapy as a way to slow down and really notice what important messages from ourselves we might be missing. We each have so much knowledge and memory about ourselves, yet the pace and complexity of most of our lives can make it difficult to listen to - and integrate - some of the most important communication from our bodies, our intuition, our deep and specific systems of need. While I use an eclectic toolbelt of approaches to work with clients (Internal Family Systems/Parts Work, Emotion Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Training, Somatic and Experiential interventions), the most important tool that I use is that of just being truly with you: we find our way into a relational tone that supports you digging in and exploring yourself, we collaborate and examine what stories and habits you’re working with, and I offer reflections and clinical perspectives to support your process of hearing and reconnecting to what you know and what you might need next. I do this work because I fully believe that a strong and safe therapeutic relationship can be an incredibly potent tool for cultivating your growth and healing; I'm here to build that with you. I work primarily with adults, and my practice is divided evenly between working with individuals and working with couples and other forms of chosen relationships. Much of my relationship work includes considerations and practices of polyamory and non-monogamy, and explorations and transitions around gender and sexuality. therapywithjesse.com therapywithjesse@gmail.com 415.779.4115 https://www.kintsugitherapistcollective.com/kendra-boylan daily 0.75 2026-03-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6191a60d71dd59539a92fa48/a2eeb3cc-4270-47c9-9072-5074032abd33/Kendra.jpg Kendra Boylan - Meet Kendra Kendra Boylan, LCSW (NY) Leo Sun / Aries Moon / Scorpio Rising they/them My name is Kendra Boylan (they/them). I am a white, neurodivergent, queer, trans/nonbinary social worker and psychotherapist currently living on the ancestral homeland of the Lenape people (Brooklyn, NY). I came to this work through my personal experiences in therapy, where being deeply held and supported helped me understand how critical it is to have someone who understands your identity and has the language to help you feel safe and seen. Because of this, I strive to create a therapeutic space that feels supportive, curious, and emotionally safe—one that invites honesty, healing, and growth. My work is grounded in an anti-racist, anti-oppressive framework. I do not believe we can meaningfully address our experiences without acknowledging the sociopolitical systems that shape our lives, including capitalism, imperialism, and other forms of structural oppression. These forces influence how we experience ourselves, our relationships, and the world, and they are an important part of the work we do together. My approach is collaborative, relational, and rooted in harm reduction. I value feedback and view therapy as a shared process, where we work together to identify what feels most supportive and aligned for you. I draw from Internal Family Systems (IFS/parts work), somatic and trauma-informed practices, mindfulness-based therapy, and relational approaches, and I often integrate creative and art-based interventions when helpful. As a queer and trans therapist, my passion is working with LGBTQIA+ individuals exploring all aspects of gender, sexuality, and identity. I also support individuals and couples navigating relationships, boundaries, communication, intimacy, and major life transitions. If you are interested in connecting, please visit my website or send me an email. I look forward to the opportunity to work together.

My name is Sylvie. I'm a licensed therapist and a white, queer, femme, Ashkenazi Jewish person. Cliche as it may be, I know it to be true—each of us is innately good, entirely whole, and worthy of every ounce of care. That guides my work more than anything else. I am committed to listening very deeply for who you are and what you need, and to creating space for you to really hear, feel, and know yourself. As a therapist, I draw primarily on my training in somatics, psychodynamics, Internal Family Systems, narrative therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I am also currently in training to become a sex therapist. My work is shaped by ongoing political education and my understanding that the root cause of so much of our suffering is white supremacy and colonialism. While I welcome all clients, I most commonly work with queer and trans folks, young adults, and trauma survivors.

I’m a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker living and working in private practice on unceded traditional land of the Wabanaki Confederacy in so-called central Vermont. I work with queer and trans young adults, adults, and elders both virtually and in-person. My work focuses on creating a safe relational container for clients to explore their sense of self, connect to their bodies’ knowing, and move towards what is important to them. I support clients in contextualizing their experiences within the greater systems we exist within. We work together to reflect on what is and isn’t working, develop understanding and self-compassion for where they’ve been, to reimagine what is possible, and build motivation and strategies to lean into who they want to be. I believe that understanding our nervous system responses and building capacity to respond to ourselves with care is essential to the healing process. I strive to be a thoughtful, curious, and compassionate collaborator on that journey. It is such a gift to witness and support my clients. Outside of my therapeutic work, I love to garden, play with my dog, read fantasy novels, get crafty, and be involved in my community!

Woven Psychotherapy is a practice oriented to: weaving in the parts of ourselves we've had to reject, contain, or abandon weaving ourselves deeper into networks of community and interdependence weaving our individual threads into a larger sense of belonging in the universe I come to this work through my own experience of therapy and relational healing. My work is inspired by the mentors, care workers, teachers, nourishing meals, therapists who have supported me in coming into deeper relationship to myself and the world. I work primarily with survivors of trauma (individual, collective, intergenerational, historical) and those with attachment wounds/injury. My practice is grounded in psychodynamic theory, particularly relational and attachment perspectives, visions of liberation, queer theory, and humor. I work with individuals, couples, and other relationship constellations. My relationship therapy work is grounded in the Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy which merges developmental neuroscience, attachment theory, and arousal regulation. My therapeutic style is collaborative, curious, and compassionate with attention to the relationship between us, as individuals, and the systems that impact us. I seek to draw connections between clients’ histories and their experience as it unfolds in the here-and-now of the therapeutic exchange, all in service of coming into deeper relationship with oneself. wovenpsychotherapy.com mica@wovenpsychotherapy.com https://www.kintsugitherapistcollective.com/rachel-brazie daily 0.75 2026-03-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6191a60d71dd59539a92fa48/12079919-e8b4-41bd-9a5f-3dc04a9c38ae/Rachel+B.jpg Rachel Brazie - Meet Rachel Rachel Brazie, LICSW (MA) Libra Sun / Leo Moon / Libra Rising they/them I am a white, fat, queer, non-binary, neurodivergent, chronically ill, anti-zionist, Jewish therapist living on unceded Mohican and Pocumtuc land (Western Massachusetts). My practice is called A Way with Words Counseling because I believe in both the alchemy of language, storytelling, and witnessing to move us on a path towards healing and liberation (a way with words) and the need to put language aside and be in and with our bodies (away with words). This both/and is at the root of my work. I primarily work with queer, trans, and neurodivergent folks, and folks who’ve experienced interpersonal, intergenerational, and/or institutional complex trauma. My work is deeply grounded in identity, valuing the wisdom of lived experience in exploring the interplay between our inner and outer worlds. For folks in Western Mass, I offer walk and talk sessions, inviting in the trees, streams, and seasons of our landscape as collaborators and teachers in the practices of rooting down, flowing through change, and trusting that spring will one day come again. Outside of therapy, I am passionate about musical theater, jigsaw puzzles, swimming holes, Mary Oliver, board games, tactile crafts, terrible reality tv, audiobooks, and adventures with my corgi, Ziggy. I am always delighted to talk about any of these things, alongside the deep and heavy work we often hold therapy. In a world so insistent on hurting us, I believe that cultivating joy and making space for play and laughter are radical, restorative acts.
