I work with members of the queer community – including those along the asexuality spectrum – couples, folks in the midst of life transitions, and people who are neurodiverse. I am here to support those who are trying to get out of distressing spirals/ patterns; who are seeking reconnection to their values and meaningful coping strategies; who are struggling with body image; who are looking for a sex- and kink-positive space; and those needing to unpack shame cycles. I am a values-led therapist, meaning I prioritize a social justice and anti-racist lens throughout discussions related to mental health.

Hi! I’m Taye! I’m a non-binary, queer, neurodivergent therapist who uses a strength based, feminist lens when it comes to therapy. You’ve done the work to show up for everyone else and now you’re wondering what it would be like to finally show up as your full self. Maybe you’re navigating the layers of identity, relationships, and life changes that don’t fit into neat boxes, and you’re ready for a space where nothing about you is “too much” or “not enough.” I use nature as a teacher—I find wisdom in the messy, nonlinear, and beautiful ways things grow. I believe healing can be nonlinear and even a little messy—and that’s okay.

I love working with GLBTQ+ individuals, couples, and parents. I am passionate about supporting people who are wanting to; explore their sexuality, desires and/or gender, feel more agency, critique dominant culture, or feel a sense of belonging to something bigger. It is my hope that the therapeutic journey will lead you to feel a deeper connection with yourself and a richer set of community/spiritual connections that let you experience full aliveness. I want to co-create a space of courageous introspection that allows you to look back at your past and to name the moments in your present that need tending.

I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship and co-creating an environment for you to share and feel your most authentic range of emotions, especially the ones you were taught to hide or felt too big to face. I prioritize working with our collective process in the room so that you may better understand the experiences and familiar narratives that have left you feeling stuck, unheard, or disconnected in order to create room to explore and connect more deeply with yourself and others. I often work with trans and queer community and folks with marginalized relationship structures/embodiments.

I work virtually with LGBTQ+ and BIPOC individuals and couples of all ages. I use narrative therapy to help clients explore the stories shaping their lives and draw from Internal Family Systems (IFS) to better understand the parts within them. I have a special interest in ADHD, religious deconstruction, racial and cultural identity, and queer experience. My goal is to offer a supportive space where you can question what no longer fits and move toward a life that feels more grounded, authentic, and your own.

It's hard to be a human in general, and when mental health is struggling, it can feel impossible! I find that when we are struggling we can either feel controlled by emotions, or have trouble connecting with them. Sometimes it's hard to trust your yourself; You might not know how to move through life with everything going on. Having a safe place where you can be curious and let your emotions come out is incredibly important.

Hello! I’m Brittany, and I am so excited to meet you! My therapy practice centers on you, the client, and what you want to achieve. If you enjoy using creativity, playfulness, and humor, we might connect over puzzles, art projects, or even a game while exploring tough topics. I am nonbinary, queer, and neurodivergent, and recognize the importance of shared identities. Because my work is rooted in abolitionist values, clients can expect a space that challenges oppressive systems while centering their autonomy and community connections.

Maybe you have a sense of what life could be like if you were truly expressing yourself without fear or shame. Maybe you haven’t even let yourself dream about what that could look like—just yet. Maybe there are barriers in the way and you don’t know how to navigate through them. This is where I can be of help. I work with creative folks to more fully embrace their identities and better understand how their past impacts their present moment. I focus on social identity development, (ie gender, sexuality, etc) and sex therapy through a trauma-informed lens. Let’s work together so that you can cultivate a life that celebrates you!

Every person needs a secure space where they can become their most authentic selves. I strive to approach therapy with radical genuineness, compassion, warmth, and humor. I believe that therapy at its best is a creative, judgment-free space between equals. This creates an environment where you can be yourself and learn to manage thoughts and emotions getting in your way. I like to incorporate techniques from DBT, ACT, Person-Centered Therapy, Anchored Relational Therapy, body-centered approaches, sports psychology, body positivity, trauma-informed practices, and a dash of geek culture references.

I work with many clients who may be unsure how to describe what's "wrong" and whether therapy can help. They may not know where their "self" ends and their "problem" begins. To me, the task of therapy is to locate and understand our “self” in ways we cannot alone. I see meaning and healing as deeply connected, and hope to find both in our work together.

Non-Binary Therapists

What are the advantages of seeing a non-binary therapist?

Working with a non-binary therapist can offer unique benefits for individuals seeking support around gender identity. Therapists who personally identify as non-binary may bring both professional training and personal insight to their work, creating a therapeutic space that some clients may find more affirming and welcoming. These therapists often have specialized knowledge in areas such as gender-affirming care, gender dysphoria, and navigating family or social acceptance. They may also be particularly skilled in helping clients find additional resources, such as affirming healthcare providers or community-based supports that align with and affirm their identity.

Does it matter what gender my therapist is?

The gender of your therapist can matter, depending on your individual comfort preferences and therapeutic goals. While therapy outcomes are often driven by the therapist’s methodology and the strength of the therapeutic relationship, many people feel more at ease working with a therapist who shares or understands their gender identity, which can enhance trust and improve therapy outcomes.

For clients who are non-binary or gender-diverse, working with a therapist of a similar identity may reduce the need to explain or justify their experiences and can increase the sense of being seen and understood. This dynamic may be especially important when addressing topics related to gender, sexuality, trauma, or relationships. Ultimately, what matters most is finding a therapist who is respectful and knowledgeable of your identity—regardless of their own gender.

How can I find a non-binary therapist?

The Psychology Today online directory is a helpful tool for identifying therapists who identify as non-binary. You can use filters to search by identity markers as well as by clinical specialty, therapeutic approach, insurance accepted, session costs, and languages spoken to help ensure a good fit.

During an initial consultation or early sessions, consider asking about the therapist’s training in gender-affirming care, their experience with LGBTQ+ clients, and their therapeutic approach to identity-related topics. An effective therapist will be open and affirming in their responses. You can also look for credentials or continuing education in areas such as LGBTQ+ mental health, trauma-informed care, and intersectionality.
