When we're feeling the weight of the world, it's a good time to have some extra support in our corner. At Bespoke Healing, we like to form connections with folks that feel supportive, brave, and most of all, REAL. We know therapy is going well when we see folks begin to step out in new ways to improve their relationships and quality of life. We find it fruitful to explore how past traumas show up in current relationships, and our therapists are active in session as part of our relational style. We also help folks befriend their bodies as an important resource.
We work with folks of all identities, but we specialize in offering therapy to queer folks and their loved ones. We are sex-positive, fat-positive, and we base our work on a foundation of lifelong learning. We often find ourselves working with folks experiencing life transitions or relationship changes.
Whatever brings you to your search for the ideal therapist, let's chat! We provide free 15-minute phone consultations to get a sense of where you're headed and whether we might be a good fit as you take next steps. We offer individual therapy, couples/relationship therapy, as well as group experiences to create community around stories.
