I have also received formal training as a therapist from Oregon State University’s Master in Counseling Program, the Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling program at George Fox University as well as the Master of Arts in Counseling Program from Multnomah University.

The course work included in these programs comprised of the following: social development, human diversity, chemistry & growth of the brain, family dynamics, crisis & grief, cross-cultural issues, and adolescent challenges.

As a bisexual woman who has been part of the non monogamy community for over two decades I approach my clients with empathy and compassion as I assist them in their emotional journey. I have taken extensive education and certification in regards to the specialized needs of our LGBTQIA2S+ community members. (LGBTQIA Affirmative Certification, LGBTQIA+ Informed Professional Certification, Queer informed intake paperwork assessment, recognizing traumatic effects of systematically structured social discrimination against Queer community, tumultuous relationship with spiritual/religious beliefs and having those beliefs used as a weapon against them, finding supportive primary doctors/health professionals, building positive cultural identity/pride/resilience)

My counseling approach is wellness-based and holistic, and I offer individual counseling for late teens (16 yrs +), young adults, and adults as well as partner(s)/relationship counseling and workshops. My specialties include anxiety, depression, stress management, assertiveness training, women's issues, GLBTQIQ issues, spirituality (especially alternative spiritual affiliations/traditions), and polyamory/non-monogamous relationship styles.

I specialize in working with kink (BDSM) & fetish. Kink, Queer & Poly Affirming. I only work with Adults ages 18+.

Poly, non-monogamous, and mixed-orientation relationships are just as unique as monogamous one, be it rewarding / enjoyable or challenging. Relationships can go from absolutely amazing to being on the verge of the breaking point without us even knowing how we got there. Sometimes this means that we need to gain a better understanding of ourselves and the relationship overall. This can happen through self-exploration, communication building, and renegotiating expectations, just to name a few.

Because I work with both those in relationships and individuals I know not everyone I work with will focus directly on their relationship, every client deserves someone who is affirming and accepting of who they are as an individual. I provide services to the broader LGBT community across the lifespan, including children and teens. I also make every attempt to ensure that therapy fits my clients lives and their lifestyles. This means telehealth session so that you can be in your most comfortable environment as well as late evening sessions.

But if you are looking for a therapist that will just nod or agree with everything you have to say, I am not the therapist you. But if you are looking for a therapist that is down to earth, direct, and will help you establish true goals and actually teach you the tools to reach those goals, then you have found the right therapist

Through ICU Transformative Consulting (pronounced I See You), she offers coaching, consulting, and education for individuals, partners, professionals, and communities. These services support people exploring ethical non-monogamy (ENM), values-aligned relationships, and relational conflict—alongside consulting for clinicians and facilitators seeking guidance in working with non-normative identities and practices.

Her work blends emotional fluency, relational skill-building, and systemic awareness, creating space for people to grow, repair, and relate on purpose.

As a therapist I believe that you have the power and knowledge within you to help with the problems you are experiencing; to heal and to grow. As a practitioner I make a commitment to you to help and support you with what you bring to me. To do this I use my experience and understanding to support you in a way which is open, non-judgmental, focused on your issues and as real and human as possible.

I believe therapy is about your felt experience inside and outside of the therapy room, rather than about cognitive interpretations of your past and behaviour.

Through effective therapy we can become more able to accept and respond flexibly to our feelings, relationships and circumstances.

I work with a wide variety of people including LGBTQ+ individuals and their family members; people with or supporting people with disabilities and long term health conditions; people experiencing difficulties or abuse in their relationships

I provide affirming therapy for individuals, couples, and polycules navigating identity, intimacy, and relationship dynamics.

I work with adults and teens, offering a nonjudgmental space to explore concerns such as opening relationships, navigating jealousy, and cultivating authentic connections.

I am Jessy, a non-binary and queer professional dedicated to providing compassionate and affirming care for all LGBTQ+ individuals. Fluent in both Chinese and English, I specialize in supporting diverse clients, particularly those who are BIPOC. My journey navigating my own identity and relationships, along with my background as a former sex worker, has given me a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced within these communities.

In my practice, I offer specialized services tailored to LGBTQ+ individuals, including kink-affirming and trans-affirming care, as well as support for ENM relationships. My therapeutic approach blends techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, somatic work, Gestalt therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS). As a longtime practitioner of the Alexander Technique, I incorporate somatic methods to help clients reconnect with and understand their bodies on a deeper level.

Currently, I am training to become a licensed sex therapist, with a focus on guiding clients through gender and sexuality exploration and addressing issues related to sex and sexual trauma. Whether you are seeking support for anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, or navigating complex issues related to gender and sexuality, I am here to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing and self-discovery. My collaborative approach ensures that your voice is heard and valued, and together, we can work towards achieving your personal and therapeutic goals.

As a bilingual therapist fluent in both Chinese and English, I am uniquely positioned to provide culturally competent care to Chinese-speaking clients. This includes navigating issues related to immigration, acculturation, and the intersection of cultural identity with gender and sexuality.

My rich background in theater, film, visual design, music, creative writing, dance, and singing allows me to integrate creative and artistic elements into my therapeutic work. This artistic integration is especially beneficial for clients who find it challenging to articulate their feelings through words alone. By incorporating these creative and nonverbal avenues for self-expression, I aim to offer a holistic approach to healing.

I am continuously involved in further education and professional development to enhance my competence in LGBTQ+ care. Iregularly attend conferences, workshops, and training sessions to stay updated on the latest mental health care practices for these communities, ensuring that I offer informed and effective care.

I work well with people who are interested in therapy and the complexities of our experiences - this could include professional decision making, struggling with complicated family relationships and dynamics, and/or the intersections of our identities. I often work with clients who feel tired, confused, scared, hurt, avoid pleasure, don’t feel like they’re good enough, outcasted, silenced, misunderstood and like they’re “too much.” They may fear that they’ll never get better, that others will leave them, that being close to someone else or loved is scary, or that they are unlovable and undeserving of love.

In our work together, I will show up committed to building trust, with an awareness of your strengths and a conversational style that adds lightness. My goal here is to join you as a collaborator in your therapy process, confidence building and exploration of any experiences that have informed who you are today.

I welcome those who are interested in therapy to a safe, strengths-based and collaborative space. This is a space where we will be learning and getting to know you! In this space your goals are yours for the taking and we can discuss anything! I will work with you to achieve your goals by utilizing a variety of modalities and interventions that aid in conceptualizing and interpreting our life experiences. As a result, you will have the opportunity to observe and dismantle and recreate patterns of behavior and put thought into what change looks like for you. Everyone is deserving of a space to process, explore, question, feel validation, challenge their experiences, and grow! I greatly look forward to working with you!

Professional specialties and skills:

I employ a holistic approach to therapy, incorporating biological, social, spiritual, cultural, and psychological aspects. My practice is eclectic, primarily grounded in an existential-humanistic perspective.

My coursework encompassed essential subjects such as Counseling Theory, Human LifeSpan Development, Diagnosis, Appraisal and Assessment in Counseling, Legal and Ethics, Crisis and Trauma in Counseling, Couples Counseling, and Addiction Counseling.

During my internship I helped middle school students from immigrant families and young adults grappling with career choices, family relationship issues, and friendship/intimate relationship challenges.

Language(s) spoken:

English and Mandarin Chinese

Populations served - ages, concerns, etc.:

I focus on helping individual adults older than 17 and couples. Specifically, I help adults that have chosen alternative lifestyles and are grappling with challenges that related to their lifestyles, including: people having nontraditional intimate relationships, women struggling with fertility issues due to medical conditions such as endometriosis, digital nomads/immigrants, and people who are interested in trying psychedelics.

As a trained Emotionally-Focused therapist, I understand that you were built for connection and safety. You don’t have to continue feeling stuck, and you don’t have to figure it out alone.

Sessions with me feel like going to the “Feelings Gym”. It might be hard work, but you’ll leave feeling accomplished, stronger, and more flexible. The best part is, you will have a trainer with you the whole time–that’s me. I strive to make sure clients don’t feel alone or overwhelmed. I will be there to support you (and your partner) every step of the way.

I see clients who are 18+ folks and are wanting to improve their relationships with themselves and/or with their loved ones (spouse(s), partner(s), close friends, siblings, etc.)

I am committed to the work of dismantling my internalized -isms (racism, sexism, ableism, etc.) and strive to create a safe space for all identity groups. I identify as a queer relationship anarchist. I welcome all different relationship structures into my office.

I am dedicated to providing compassionate and supportive therapy to transitional aged youth and adults. I aim to honor the diversity of each client and help foster growth, empowerment, resiliency, and freedom of self-expression. My work is based on the fundamental belief that all of us have the right to live the lifestyle that we chose and within that context to feel supported and validated. Individuals of all cultures, ethnicity, race, gender, class backgrounds, and sexual orientations are welcome.

I offer individual therapy to adults working through anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, life transitions, and relationship issues. I especially love working with folks who are part of the trans, queer/LGBT+, non-monogamous, and kink/BDSM communities. I also offer assessment for ADHD, personality questions, and cognitive concerns.

Is your anxious mind driving you crazy? Are your relationships painful or confusing? Are you trying to change your life for the better but having trouble actually accomplishing it?

Maybe you are:

*    In a life transition -- recently experienced the loss or change of a relationship,
     job, or other significant thing in your life
*    Finding that your relationships are unfulfilled or troubled
*    At a crossroad of sorts, needing to make important changes in your life
*    Longing for more meaning, purpose, and/or success in your life
*    Feeling stressed, anxious, or depressed

If any of these are true for you, therapy and relationship coaching may be what you’re looking for. I would love to work with you. As a clinical social worker and relationship coach, I’ve helped hundreds of people to achieve great results in their emotional/mental/physical health and well-being, as well as in their relationships with friends, co-workers, and loved ones. I welcome you to be in touch for a free consultation. - Does online consultation - Does phone consultation
