About
They provide mental health care for queer and trans people, prioritizing long-term, trauma-informed treatment that recognizes the impact of societal marginalization on the psyche. Their approach emphasizes a deep and abiding affirmation of identity, a recognition of the role of trauma, and an attention to ruptures in attachment and development. The practice is committed to ultimate inclusion and treatment transparency, seeing themselves as partners on the path towards wellness rather than experts. They specialize in working with LGBTQ individuals, providing trauma-informed psychotherapy, and coordinating care with medical providers. Walnut Psychotherapy Center is dedicated to creating a safe space for unmasking and affirmation of all neurodivergent traits, honoring the need for stimming, and recognizing the intersectionality between queerness, trans identity, and neurodiversity.
