Seeking help requires a vulnerability that can be uncomfortable and scary at times. I want to commend you for making that choice for yourself. I am originally from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and was an international student in the US. The experiences faced by immigrants and international students can be challenging and lonely which I have a deep understanding of. As a therapist, I focus on helping individuals’ transition and adapt through increasing their awareness. I am focused on practicing cultural humility when working with clients. Every person has an individualized trajectory to growth, and I am dedicated to supporting you to reach your personal goals. I focus on repairing interpersonal relationships with others and mending the relationship with yourself through awareness and compassion. I have a background in trauma and substance use, and can help with managing anxiety & depression. My aim with all clients is to provide a non-judgmental and compassionate treatment using an eclectic approach that pulls from techniques such as Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavior. I am confident my experiences have shaped me into the therapist I am. I look forward to supporting and challenging you through this special journey of yours.

I aim to create a safe and welcoming environment where my clients can feel comfortable sharing their life stressors and experiences. My goal is to meet my client where they are, as every person and their experiences are different and should be treated as such. I work to provide a collaborative approach to treatment with my clients by developing goals that address their needs and what they hope to achieve in therapy. I provide counseling services to teens and adults from the ages of 14 and up. The majority of my clients experience anxiety, depression, relationship issues, grief and loss, sexuality, or gender identity issues. My primary treatment modalities are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Brief Solution Focused Psychotherapy and Acceptance and Committment Therapy.

My private online therapy practice offers a space where you can genuinely explore your concerns, talk through difficulties, and work collaboratively to discover practical solutions.

My goal is to create a supportive environment where you feel truly heard and empowered to create positive change in your life.

Hey, Hi, I'm Fig—I'm a witchy, disabled, neurospicy, agender, queerdo who also happens to be a therapist. As an AuDHDer who has spent many years navigating the crushing weight of autism burnout in late stage capitalism, and the "Too Muchness" that seems to get tacked onto neurodivergent identities, I need you to know that I'm not here to "fix" you. I don't view therapy as a place where we show up and magically make everything perfect, and I'm not a therapist who claims to have a solution for every problem, or even most of them. I am here to walk with you as you reconnect with your body, your voice, and your resilience. I work primarily with neurodivergent, disabled LGBTQIA+ individuals and couples from a person-centered, trauma-focused and trauma-informed lens, which means I want our time together to be collaborative. I don't assume I know everything about you or what's going on in your brain, and I show up to sessions ready to do what feels good to you. Don't feel like "getting into it today"? Cool. Let's hang out and color instead. Need to sit on the floor for this or every session? Done. Whether you just need to vent or you need someone to cry with you while you process some really tough stuff—I've got you. I might be a good fit for you if you're interested in processing relationship trauma and abuse, processing sexual trauma, understanding healthy relationship building and communication (in monogamous or ENM/poly/non monogamy relationships), are looking to explore kink dynamics or gender & sexuality, are looking to process grief, understand your neurodiversity better, or just need someone to talk to who might just "get" it. Therapy is hard work. If you're already this far you've already begun your hard work. Pretty cool, huh? I'm proud of you. Keep going.

Hi, I’m Sabrina, and I am a queer, neurodivergent woman doing her best to balance working full time, engaging with my amazing partners, spending time with friends and comrades, and trying to makes this hellscape we call our country a little bit more bearable. I’m also a person-centered therapist. Who I Help I love working with folks surrounding LGBTQIA+ related concerns, gender identity, trauma & PTSD, neurodiversity, and relationship concerns especially folks in non- traditional relationships. I also work with those struggling with anxiety, depression, family conflict and dysfunction, codependency, intimacy concerns, parenting, ADHD, body image, and understanding emotions both ours and other people’s. While most of this profile is geared towards adults, I do also work with kids. I use a lot of play in sessions to help kids process what is going on in their world, but I also find a lot of my young clients are able and willing to sit and just talk for a while. Relationship Counseling I believe that one of the things that makes us human is the need to have relationships with other people. When I was in graduate school, I was always the odd woman out because I refused to call what I wanted to do “couples counseling” for two key reasons: 1) As someone who is happily polyamorous, I am well aware that not all romantic attachments involve exactly two people. 2) Romantic relationships are not the only types of relationships that matter. Ruptures in your relationship with your parents, your best friend, or a colleague can be extremely painful, and sometimes talking to a third party can help that relationship be repaired. For relationship counseling, I typically draw upon Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). This modality explores the ways that all parties form attachments, and how they feel secure (or insecure) in them. It helps us dissect the current pattern (which Sue Johnson, creator of EFT, calls “the tango”), and then together, we develop new steps for the next time a disagreement occurs. Disagreeing with each other is a normal, healthy thing for people to do; therapy can help us learn how to disagree without feeling threatened. I am a big believer that there are many, many ways to have a healthy relationship and that folks are capable of making their own choices about what works for them. I will honor your relationship whether you’re monogamous, ethically nonmonogamous, polyamarous, kinky, vanilla, or exploring different styles to figure out what works best for you. Trauma Trauma rewires our brains. It can change us into people we no longer recognize. Healing, however, will also rewire us. What doesn’t kill us makes us hypervigilant and untrusting —it’s the healing that makes us stronger. While my specific approach for supporting you will be based on what you need, I generally start by exploring with you what gives you a sense of safety and ways we can return to that sense of safety when things get stressful. We will explore your past at your pace. It will be uncomfortable at times, but I will be with you every step of the way. It is also important to me to do our best to make sure our sessions end on a note that feels most comfortable for you. (Before I became a therapist myself, I had a therapist who consistently ended sessions while I was highly agitated and stressed—even after I pointed out this was happening and asked her to stop. I vowed to never do that to someone else.) Gender Identity Gender is complicated, and societal expectations are a big part of why that is. Regardless of whether or not the doctor guessed your gender correctly when you entered the world, exploring the ways in which you express your gender is often an ongoing, and sometimes complex, process. I use inclusive Feminist Therapy along with my Person-Centered Approach when talking about gender. I have supported people both in my personal and professional lives, as they’ve navigated their own relationship with their gender. While I feel that I have explored my own relationship to gender more than the average cis person, I do want to acknowledge that I do not have direct lived experience with being trans. What Can You Expect in the Room with Me? While I do still read academic articles and books, I am far more likely in session to reference a meme or Tik-Tok I just saw that feels relevant to the situation being discussed. I draw upon multiple modalities, depending on the concern we are working through and what you believe may work best for you. Person-centered Therapy however is my primary lens and it will show up even when I’m pulling from EFT techniques, Feminist Therapy, and solution-focused. Person-centered therapy is all about congruence, which means accepting ourselves fully and being our authentic selves. The process of becoming congruent is similar to forming a deep bond with someone else: your best friend has flaws, sure, but you don’t try to change them because you love them how they are. Becoming congruent is very similar to falling in love with yourself, and it is one of my favorite things to watch other people do. I have been “on the other side of the couch” a few times, and I have had amazing, horrible, and mediocre experiences as a client. In fact, I became a therapist in part because I’d had a bad experience and recognized an enormous need for more relationship counselors who understand polyamory. Even better would have been a relationship counselor who was actively practicing ENM. Cue the realization that I could be that someone, add a very supportive wife who was willing to take on student loans, and here we are. Favorite Therapist Quote “When I look at a sunset as I did the other evening, I don’t find myself saying, ‘Soften the orange a little on the right hand corner, and put a bit more purple along the base, and use a little more pink in the cloud color.’ I don’t do that. I don’t try to control a sunset. I watch it with awe as it unfolds.” —Carl Rogers, A Way of Being

As children, we are often not taught how to understand and master our own minds, bodies, and spirits. Now is the time to learn. As a trauma-informed, person-centered therapist and licensed mental health counselor, I integrate my non-judgmental view on how life experiences have impacted your cognitive and emotional well-being with evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) strategies. Together, we work toward leaning how to promote self-awareness, empowerment, choice, autonomy, and the ability to self-regulate without guilt, shame, or blame. Over the years, I have centered my focus on the treatment of trauma-induced symptoms in patients struggling with anxiety, depression, fear, anger, low self-esteem, and general difficulty navigating life’s challenges and transitions. With my history of working in theater and film, I especially understand the difficulties that come with the decision to live a creative life. Everyone deserves to be and feel validated. I believe that my genuine quality to accept you for who you are is the cornerstone to building a strong relationship that will lead to a fruitful outcome of goal achievement in our work together. In my therapy room, you are in the driver’s seat. My role is to provide a safe, secure space for you to feel comfortable to self-explore, discover, learn, and share. Of the six ethical principles of counseling, I value autonomy highly, which means I will listen to your story and never pressure you to say or do anything you do not want to. Throughout therapy, issues related to childhood experiences with your family are likely to arise. You will come to understand that because you did not develop in a vacuum, nothing is “your fault,” although it does fall to you to heal yourself. This begins by becoming aware of and understanding the messages you tell yourself and applying effective skills to rewrite the script. My pathway into mental health began with years of rehearsals that helped me to avoid the pitfalls leading to dysphoria, dysfunction, and dissonance, which then motivated me to apply my transferable skills to “pay it forward.” I worked for five years in a group therapy setting, where I was able to utilize improvisational and role-play games to foster trust and cohesion among patients with severe mental illness and complex trauma histories, prior to transitioning to one-to-one therapy settings.

I am a culturally responsive, trauma-informed therapist that uses a variety of therapeutic techniques and theories to help support people where they are at in their lives. People who see me are often navigating various things that impact their general feelings of happiness, their relationships with family and friends, their engagement with hobbies, or their outcomes in school and work. I believe in normalizing human experiences and not pathologizing them. My intention is to help people strengthen their understandings of themselves and their experiences so they can work towards growth and healing. We will work together to identify what you want to focus on and make a plan on how to get there. I support this from a relational and trauma-informed approach and use these approaches with adolescents and adults. In addition, I am trained and/or certified in numerous trauma-focused therapies, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy. I am a firm believer that the relationship created in therapy is foundational to its process. It is my hope that those who come to work with me understand the importance I place on safety, comfort, and understanding. I offer curiosity, safety, and humility to the therapy room.

My name is Allison Fox, I graduated from the counseling program at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, and I hold my BS in Psychology from the University of Pittsburgh. Prior to pursing my graduate degree, I worked as a case manager, giving me valuable experience working with marginalized communities, including individuals impacted by housing scarcity in urban areas. My work has taken me into hospitals, nonprofit organizations, and homes—meeting people where they are and honoring the complexity of their lives. I believe that healing happens in spaces where authenticity is met with safety and connection. My approach is collaborative, transparent, and deeply rooted in the lived realities of my clients. Using frameworks from parts work/Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I aim to help clients move beyond labels into a deeper holistic understanding of the core behaviors and emotional attachments that shape their experiences. I am LGBTQIA and neurodiversity affirming, and committed to providing a therapeutic space that acknowledges the impacts of systemic oppression and trauma while fostering resilience, self-awareness, and growth. My work is informed by a belief in the power of relationships, the importance of self-compassion, and the possibility of change. Wherever you are in your journey, I look forward to working together in a way that feels meaningful, empowering, and true to you.

I have worked with a variety of populations and settings including individuals, couples, and groups. I have experience with many areas including substance use, ADHD and neurodivergence, couples therapy, trauma and recovery, anxiety, depression, and BPD. I enjoy working with couples, groups, and individuals ages 15-70. I work to customize the style and path of treatment to your individualized needs. This means I use multiple different approaches and take elements from existing styles to help you reach your goals. I employ a collaborative approach to reach your goals and create a relationship based on safety and free of judgment. I work with couples, teens, adults, and marginalized identities of any sort (race, gender, age, sexual orientation, etc.) I find it easy to work with most people, and especially with those who are neurodivergent, or suffer from anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and some personality disorders. I encourage anyone to reach out. Taking that first step is always difficult, and the fear that you may not find someone you mesh with is valid. I hope to work together with new and prospective clients to build a relationship based on trust and connection, or work to find them someone who will be a better fit.
