EDIT: Hi thanks so much everyone for joining! I am ending for the night and appreciate everyone's awesome Qs! You can find out more about me and my work at www.TheUnexpectedTherapist.com. It is currently under construction as I update my site and systems but it still conveys a bit more about me and the type of work I do via telehealth (in NY and FL presently) for anyone that may be interested. Thanks again! :)

​

Hey Reddit! IAMa psychotherapist (NY/FL) and I help: unconventional people, non-conformists, free spirits, ppl w/ atypical identities and lifestyles, LGBTQIA (I tend to work w/ as the majority), sex , poly/non-monogomous, misfits, ppl that have felt like they don't fit in- you get the idea! :)

I work w/ them re everyday life issues and often work well w/ those who haven't been able to find a therapist they feel truly "gets" them. Ppl who often also struggle w/ their identity, their authentic selves due to the conflicts and consequences that arise in life simply bc they're trying to live as their true selves in this fickle society of revolving societal constructs that change w/ each dang gust of wind!

Research continues to indicate that our engagement w/ our therapist is the best indicator of progress in therapy. I couldn't find the kind of therapist that I was looking for so I set out to be the therapist that I couldn't find while also crushing stigmas around therapy.

I work with ppl to take the risk to be vulnerable ie courageous- bc living authentically isn't always easy but it's always worth it! AMA about general mental health, psychotherapy, online therapy and the work I do.

NOTE:I can not provide therapy via Reddit- please seek professional support if needed.
