psychotherapy for late bloomers

I work with neurodivergent, queer and trans BIPOC who want to trust and come home to themselves. Our therapy space makes room for exploring grief, relationships with food and body image, and the tender work of parenting and reparenting.

hi! i’m jocelyn (they/them).
i’m so glad you’re here.

My specialties include:

  • Culturally affirming care for queer and trans BIPOC

  • Exploration of later discovered neurodivergence

  • Exploration of later discovered queer identity

  • Eating disorders and body image

  • Parenting as a neurodivergent parent, and/or for neurodivergent children

  • Grief and loss, including disenfranchised and nontraditionally recognized grief

  • Complex trauma

  • Attachment injury, including estrangement from parents, and emotional abuse and neglect

  • Polyamory and non-monogamy

currently accepting new telehealth clients in ca.

my philosophies:

  • My framework is rooted in liberation and anti-oppression. Therapy is political.

  • I often work long term with clients, and I approach unlearning a lifetime of practiced patterns gently, and with collaboration and care. Rushing is inherent in our society. Therapy doesn’t have to be that way.

  • I am honest about how behaviorism and ABA has harmed disabled and neurodivergent folks, and understand that you may be skeptical of yet another therapist who uses all the right words.

  • There is no pain too small to take up space in our sessions. You are allowed to be deeply upset about events people expect you to be long moved on from. Your grief will be recognized here.

  • Therapy doesn’t have to be masked in formality. Show up horizontal in sweatpants with your three beverage rotation, your dog, and a fidget. If you are comfortable, there is more chance our therapeutic relationship will be too.

  • I provide academic knowledge and assessment at my clients’ discretion. First and foremost, therapy is relational and you are not a case with issues. But some folks love data and rooting in cognitive discovery, and I am happy to meet you there.

  • I will gladly look at your memes, listen to your playlists, and be interested in your infodumps. Being culturally informed means being informed about your culture and communication.

but most importantly, i’d love to talk to you.
please schedule a free 15 minute consultation to see if we’d be a good fit.
