Daniel Pforte
Clinical Social Work/Therapist

Sometimes we need to ask for help, but may experience difficulty in doing so. Self-blame, isolation, stress, and a range of interpersonal problems from our past and present can leave us feeling lost. Relationships are the thread that enhance our capacity to address life’s many challenges. Relationships come in many forms including our relationship with ourselves, our family, our loved ones, our institutions, and our society. Engagement in the therapeutic relationship is a powerful act of courage and can be the first step to empowerment and restoring balance in our lives.

Human life is fatally fragile and subject to forces beyond our power to manage. Life is tragic." -T.

Mollie Aklepi
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LMSW
Verified
Who you are is not up for debate. I place the intersections of identity at the forefront of my practice, while staying aware of how identities can show up in the therapy room. Working with a lens of acceptance and non-judgement is imperative to support individuals and their communities. This lens is particularly important in supporting individuals in the LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities, and Kink/BDSM communities, as well as individuals who are interested in exploring alternative relationship structures. Intersections of identities frame who we are and how we experience the world. I am honored to work with those who feel ready to work.
