Hi! In a world where so many of us regularly get the message that we are flawed, I think it is important to start by saying something that we might not hear so regularly, which is, that it is okay to be you. But if I’m being honest, being yourself is not always an easy thing to do. As a therapist, I place priority in creating a therapy environment where clients feel safe to share the most authentic versions of themselves without fear of judgement. In addition to a safe therapeutic space, my goal is to assist clients on their paths towards self-expression and self-acceptance no matter where they are in their journey.

solutions-focused therapy and DBT solutions-focused therapy to gender expansive, queer, and neurodivergent clients. This work is skills-based, fun, sometimes honestly hilarious, compassionate, non-judgmental and meant to help clients reach their goals with distress tolerance, behavior change, executive functioning challenges, task completion, short-term blocks or hurdles, and long-term planning, organization, and emotion regulation.
Ride The Wave Recovery
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC, LCPC, CGP, C-DBT

Ride The Wave Recovery offers group, individual, and family therapy to clients of all genders and sexualities living with or in recovery from eating disorders, addictions, codependency, co-occurring trauma and
ADHD
. "Ride the wave" reminds us that sorrow, pain, happiness, triggers, relapses, slips, high highs, low lows, and everything in-between need not be waves that consume us, overtake us, define us, or drown us; rather we can gently and skillfully navigate these waves, from the surface, as if on a psychological surfboard, with the help of others, our Wise Mind, our Higher Power, or Self keeping us afloat.

I believe you can not only cope, you can thrive by engaging in an authentic, mindful process of exploring your amazing mind and how it connects to your body, to others and within lived experiences. I would like to be your guide by helping you process key past experiences to identify the wisdom you gained and heal the wounds and burdens you may still carry. We can also strategize and problem-solve your current challenges. First we explore your values and goals, then work together toward achieving them.

“Bridging is the work of opening the gate to the stranger, within and without.” – Gloria E. Anzaldúa. You’re at an inflection point. A chasm appears insurmountable. The ground has shifted; you’re on rocky terrain. The trail’s end is hazy, but you catch a glimpse: the outline of a hopeful future, somehow. Neglect can match abuse in its decimation of the soul. So let us nurture those neglected pieces of yourself too long ignored.

Being in relationship with others is challenging and can be a difficult act to maintain. But only in relationship can we grow closer to learning to live in community and remain connected to others. I am comfortable with alternative types of relationships, as well as all people on the gender spectrum. Together we will explore ways that are best for you to learn how to communicate in a way that enables you to live more authentically and develops connection with others.

***ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS!!!*** Are you a trans, kinky, or poly person who is looking for a therapist who understands and reflects your identity/lifestyle? Are you chronically ill and tired of having to educate your therapists about your medical conditions? If so, you've come to the right therapist page. I want to give you the care you *deserve.* I want to work with you on the unique challenges you might be facing, like how to manage social and physical transitioning, exploring sexual dynamics with a new partner, sitting with feelings of jealousy, and finding balance with your health. Therapy should cater to you and your needs.

We live in a hectic and chaotic world. Sometimes the tools we have just stop cutting it. Everything is suddenly a struggle. You may have been to a bunch of therapists and it didn't work. You may never have been to therapy and you just want to figure out how to feel better. You’re not alone, you’re not “crazy”. I can help. I'm a sex positive, trauma informed therapist with an impressive list of trainings and certifications, but more importantly, I'm an empathic person who's here to connect with you on a genuine and authentic level.

Marriage & Family Therapist Associate, AMFT
Verified
I have had the privilege of working with a diverse set of clients with a wide range of backgrounds and needs. I offer a supportive space that counters the normativity within this culture that often is oppressive to people based on their identities. I recognize that what healing journey one person, relationship or family may need may be different than another and help to support you on that journey. In addition to being neurodivergent and transgender myself, I have also supported folks who are neurodivergent, queer and/or plural.

*ACCEPTING CALIFORNIA, ILLINOIS, AND MISSOURI CLIENTS* Have you experienced trauma or wonder if you have? Curious how trauma may still be affecting you? Are you hesitant to seek out therapy out of fear of judgement about your cultural identity? Do you feel like you encounter more microaggressions than support when seeking healing? If you answered 'yes' to any of these questions, then you may be in the right place. Trauma is more than PTSD. Numbness, difficulty making decisions, perfectionism, dissociation, low self-worth, addiction, insomnia, panic, anger, codependency, self-sabotage, and isolating can all be symptoms of trauma.
Lauren Phelps
Marriage & Family Therapist, MA, LMFT

Are you curious who you can trust with your fears and worries, or your hopes and dreams? Have you tried quitting/cutting back on those negative coping skills but seem to keep falling back into your old patterns? You might be wondering if there's someone out there who can celebrate you for being a little "outside the box". Maybe you’re in a consensual non-monogamous relationship, you identify as LBGTQIA2+ or you’re considering transitioning your gender or sexual orientation and you're wondering who you can trust to be affirming and knowledgeable. You deserve to be truly seen and celebrated for everything you bring to this world.
Tyler Byrne
Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT

I believe that healing, growth, and change are available to all people, regardless of their present circumstances or their past misfortune. I utilize a collaborative approach to therapy to work with clients to understand both their challenges and their goals, and to find viable ways to help each client make changes for the better along the psychological, social, and biological axes of life. I believe that no one is an island, and that there is no shame in reaching out for help. I seek to provide an empathetic and intellectually engaged environment to cultivate insights and promote growth.

Welcome! I'm Teddy (they/them). I am a queer/trans and neurodivergent therapist. My clients often come to therapy looking for a safe, supportive, and collaborative environment where all of you is seen, heard, respected, and empowered in working towards your goals. I work with my clients to create a space that works for them – it might be focused on specific goals, self-acceptance, and/or identity exploration. While I work with many different populations and concerns, my clients most often identify as queer, trans, and/or neurodivergent. I work with individuals, families, and relationships.

Teletherapy
Teletherapy and Online counseling have grown enormously as a medium for therapy since the advent of social distancing. Most therapists are happy to provide sessions by video or phone.
All professionals are licensed to provide video therapy to clients within the State in which they hold their license. Cross State licensing exists, but is rare.
So if you're a client in California, this list of teletherapists are licensed to provide therapy to you online (by phone, video or text based chat) because they are within your state. They are sorted nearest to furthest, with professionals in California listed first.
Teletherapy via phone or video can be very similar to conventional in person sessions. The message is the same, even if the medium is different. There are some advantages in the form of convenience, lack of travel and being in comfort of your own home. Set against those, professionals find it more difficult to read non-verbal signals of their clients, and you may find you yourself can be more easily distracted.
