I specialize in gender! I specialize in gender-affirmative therapy for transgender, gender non-binary, gender-expansive folks, and people questioning their gender identity. The big picture goal in gender-affirmative therapy is to turn down the “noise” in your head and get you on track to living your best life. I also provide support letters for transition-related surgeries and procedures.

I work best with people who are 18 and over, with a variety of concerns. I especially like working with the LGBTQ+ community and am a member of the community.

I’ve worked with individuals who are exploring alternative ways of being in relationships such as polyamory, and non monogamous/ non traditional relationships. I work with individuals and couples. I support non judgmental exploration and discussion of conflicts they may face, in terms of family, religious upbringing and internal struggles. I encourage a sex positive environment and I am kink allied. My background is in substance misuse counseling. I also see a large proportion of clients struggling with body image concerns and disordered eating. I work in a relational way, that invites the client into the therapeutic process, setting goals, assigning homework if appropriate, coming up with ways to better resource in times of stress/ emotional overwhelm. I enjoy working with people who view themselves as sensitive beings, intuitives /empaths. I am somatically trained, which means I invite the body into the therapy, offering interventions such as grounding exercises/ mindfulness, aromatherapy and other somatic resourcing techniques.

I have been working with the LGBT+, more-than-monogamous, poly, and kink community for over 10 years. I strive to make my office a safe and affirming place to talk about your life issues, no matter your practices, interests, or relationship structures. I am not just affirming, but educated and competent in the specific needs of these communities and am sought out to provide trainings to other mental health therapists on these topics.

Dr. Demers is passionate about creating an affirming, non-judgmental, and compassionate space for individuals within the LGBTQIA+ community and people in non-traditional, non-monogamous, or polyamorous relationships.

Dr. Demers believes that a trusting and collaborative therapeutic relationship is necessary for meaningful behavioral change. His approach emphasizes the development of rapport and encourages patients to provide open and honest feedback throughout the therapeutic relationship. His practice utilizes a variety of modalities including cognitive behavioral (CBT), acceptance and commitment (ACT), dialectical behavioral (DBT) and functional analytic (FAP) therapies.

Dr. Demers completed his doctorate at Adler University in Chicago. He has experience working with school-age children, adolescents, and adults. Dr. Demers worked in the not-for-profit field where he treated individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities (including autism spectrum disorder) and co-occurring anxiety disorders, OCD, depression, schizophrenia spectrum disorders, and impulse-control disorders in both individual and group modalities.

Dr. Demers has worked in a variety of settings including outpatient private practice, schools, therapeutic day programs, and mobile crisis prevention. He previously trained agency staff and families who support individuals with high-intensity, challenging behavior in crisis de-escalation.

As a practitioner, I am skilled in cognitive behavioral therapy for adults. I see clients who are 18 years and older. My specialty is in LGBTQIA clients.

I treat gender dysphoria and questioning, depression, bipolar disorder, panic disorder, trauma, and other concerns. 

Hi! I’m Urielle (she/her). I am a queer therapist offering an inclusive space where you can rebuild your sense of connection, effectiveness, and joy! I offer sex-positive individual therapy and poly-affirming relationship counseling. As a sex-positive and kink-aware therapist, I affirm and respect all experiences and expressions of gender, sexual orientation, consensual sex, and relationship styles. I use a trauma-informed approach that focuses on improving the present, while also addressing the root of the issue. I work with adults and teens, offering both in-person sessions and telehealth to anyone living in the state of Tennessee.

Take that first step and reach out through my website or by texting/calling to schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation!

I offer decision coaching to individuals, couples and groups who want to solve problems together. I use tools to help you think more creatively and systematically about your big choices, and to help you tackle the small choices along the way and overcome your obstacles.

My approach is very pragmatic, and you will benefit most from working with me if you want to focus on your current situation and your upcoming decisions, rather than on the past. Steps along the way include clarifying core goals and values; evaluating options; dealing with trade-offs, risks and uncertainties; developing smarter solutions; and implementing plans to achieve goals. For couples and groups, the process also includes clarification of common and differing interests. Whenever possible, we will shoot for creative problem solving rather than negotiation and compromises. This works best if all parties are willing to consider new ideas and think harder and further. It is surprising how often the best solutions are not the ones that first come to mind.

We may also work via phone, Skype, FaceTime, or other online channels, including shared online documents and tools.

My Background: PhD in Psychology from the University of Freiburg, Switzerland. Currently teaching decision-making and counseling classes at Portland State University and Marylhurst University. Co-author of the book: “Heart and Mind: Mastering the Art of Decision Making,” and of numerous peer-reviewed research articles in psychology, neuroscience, decision-making, and coaching techniques.

Languages: English, German, French, Spanish

I provide a safe, non-judgmental, and trauma-informed space to support individuals to process their relationship challenges and goals. I am sex-positive, and I use warmth, humor, compassion, and honest feedback to help my clients reach their goals. I serve the LBGTQ+ community, as have supported many folks in the BDSM and Kink community. I work with adults and couples, and specialize in relationship issues, trauma, eating disorders, and bereavement. I am also skilled in supporting those with anxiety and depression.

I offer a complimentary 20 minute consultation to help you determine if our work will meet your needs.

I am an openly queer, transgender, polyamorous, and disabled clinical mental health counselor. I have a passion for working with marginalized populations, particularly serving LGBTQIA+ clients in rural communities. I strive to make my office environment affirming and approachable. I utilize a person-centered and narrative approach to counseling because I firmly believe that you are the expert of your own life and experiences and I value your autonomous and authentic story within the counseling space. Whatever your life experiences may be, and the obstacles you have faced along the way, I am here to work with you. I will collaboratively set goals with you and you will be an active participant in your treatment every step of the way. I am a member of SAIGE (Society for Sexual, Affectional, Intersex, and Gender Expansive Identities) and have actively attended and taught at SAIGE conferences since 2020. I have well over 50 hours of continuing education specific to the LGBTQIA+ community including affirming care practices, kink, non-monogamous relationships, letter writing, and advocacy work.

I speak English and serve individuals, partners, and families of folks ages 13+

I’m a first generation, Mexican-American with Native American heritage. I integrate Western psychological methods with Eastern and Indigenous teachings and traditions, along with cutting-edge research on the mind-body connection. My approach is direct, but warm, and rooted in perennial wisdom from many different cultures. I am young, but am told I have an old soul, and therapy with me can feel at once like deep, transformative work and a fun conversation with an old friend.

I specialize in trauma (EMDR), couples therapy (including non-monogamous), LGBTQIA populations, bi-racial / first-generation individuals, millennials, children, and families.

I have been a fully licensed mental health counselor for 3 years and has worked in the mental health field in various capacities for nearly 20 years. They are also trained in EMDR.

Their passion is working with populations who have a history of being pathologized by therapists and the mental health field such as: the LGBTQ+ community, individuals with various relational orientations (i.e. polyamory, power exchange, and other marginalized relationship styles), and neurodiverse individuals. These identities often under-represented and struggle to find therapists who are non-judgmental and identity affirming.

I has a wide variety of experience working with all ages and has worked in inpatient, outpatient, school, and corrections environments. They use a combination of therapeutic orientations and interventions including EMDR, CBT, and motivational interviewing.

Helping individuals & partners with aspects of sexuality including trauma, intimacy, dysfunctions, communication, boundaries, poly/open relationships, pleasure, anxiety, etc (with free educational resources at http://risetointimacy.com)

I am a Relationship Therapist. English is my primary language. I prefer to see 18 and up, but I do offer individual sessions and after a free consultation if we are a good fit then I will see the client regardless of age. However, I do prefer to see those that do not have active addictions, safety risks (such as suicidal ideation, homicidal ideation, or self-harm), or are currently working with someone to be medication compliant with mood altering diagnoses as these individuals just aren’t ready for relationship counseling until they have their individual obstacles under control.

I offer individual and couples therapy for adults with a focus on shame, inner critic voices, and childhood emotional neglect.

Oh, you hate therapy? I get it. If you’d rather spend your time and money not sifting through your problems in counseling sessions, I don’t blame you. But, if you are missing out on a sense of peace or feel like you’ll burst if something doesn’t change soon, then it’s worth it to invest in yourself with counseling services.

My approach to therapy is direct and genuine. While I adhere to a therapeutic structure, you’ll find me casual and making use of humor— no one wants to talk to a robot.

I founded VNC Therapy New York to provide a healing space for BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ humans to reconnect with their identities and explore new pathways to pleasure in a radically affirming and expansive way. Some of the healing has included dismantling ideas around perfectionism, entitlement, and oppression that may be specific to AAPI, BIPOC, Latinx, LGBQAI+ and TGNC communities and which show up intersectionally to create unique barriers to pleasure.
