Starting therapy can feel both hopeful and hopeless all at once, & I welcome the contradictions and overwhelm that may show up. Our work together will focus on what is coming up for you at this current juncture in your life. I practice contemporary Gestalt therapy, which means I work relationality, and in the here-and-now present moment, with a focus on expanding self awareness. My approach is direct, gentle, and judgement free. My practice is also informed by my degree in gender and sexuality, lived experience of being queer, and a career in hospitality management. If this resonates, please feel free to book a free consultation
Call or Kez S Garber now for a free 15 minute consultation - (647) 360-2497
