Let’s create a space together where you feel free to be real. I will meet you where you are with curiosity, warmth and acceptance. My practice is client-centered, which means that I respect you as the author and expert of your own lived experience. I am anti-racist and LGBTQIA+ affirming. I also bring the values of anti-oppression, Health at Every Size, and Disability Justice to my work. My experience as a grief counselor working with individuals, groups and hospice workers has been instrumental in shaping my approach. Grief arises not just when someone dies, but in response to any type of change: in our identities, careers and relationships, to broader social and political crises like systemic racism and climate change. I also have extensive training supporting people living with chronic illness and their caregivers. Whether coping with a new diagnosis, adjusting to survivorship or preparing for the end-of-life, it’s an honor to walk beside my clients as they navigate these changes. I received my Master of Social Work degree from Hunter College in New York City. I’m so happy to be back home in the south and grateful to be a part of the Radical Healing collective!

I enjoy working with individual adults and adolescents. My approach is an eclectic approach with an emphasis on cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and aspects of psychodynamics. I am a Korean American, cisgender straight male. I work with clients who may be experiencing anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and issues of identity.

I am excited to support you in developing your own truth about who you are, or who you want to be, once you have had some time and support to sift through your beliefs about yourself and where those beliefs come from.

MADISON HURLEY they/them and she/her accepting new clients: waitlist type of clients: children, teens, adults, individual approach: DBT, psychodynamic, feminist education/training: University of North Florida insurance: BCBS (all plans except Blue Value, Blue Home and Blue Local, Aetna I am a white cisgender queer woman who is passionate about human rights and take an active stance in social justice concerns as a clinician and an advocate. I utilize feminist and multicultural counseling approaches to assist clients in dismantling internalized capitalism, misogyny, gender norms, racism, homophobia, fatphobia, and other systemic shame limiting mental well-being. I focus on creating a liberating space where clients feel seen and safe enough to engage with vulnerability; I present as my authentic self as a clinician to dispel potential power differentials and facilitate the most therapeutically beneficial relationship possible. I have experience guiding children, adolescents, and adults through collaborative treatment addressing a multitude of presentations including but not limited to general anxiety, social anxiety, OCD, depression, personality disorders, neurodivergence, behavioral concerns, and trauma. My clinical interests include addressing shame, body images concerns, identity exploration, assertiveness training, interpersonal relationships, and inner child work through dialectical behavior and schema therapy. I recognize the importance of preventative work in addition to the beforementioned healing work and engage in positive reinforcement parent training and behavioral management work with children struggling with dysregulation. No matter the age or concerns, I am constantly honored and humbled when clients trust me with their emotions, identities, and life experiences. At the end of the day, my priority as a clinician is to meet clients where they are at and make them feel seen, supported, and empowered. To truly prioritize mental well-being and community strength, we must maintain moments of joy and rest. I believe in the power of play and mindfulness as healing components no matter our age and incorporate creative interventions within therapy to engage with child-like wonder and reprieve. This includes guided imagery, body work, art activities, narrative techniques, and games. Which happen to include a lot of my own interests outside of the counseling space! I love all things creative, like ceramics, painting, woodworking; in addition to this, I love spending time with my loved ones, getting outside with my dog, and anything that has to do with dinosaurs.

I also enjoy working with issues related to identity, acculturation, immigration and life adjustments. More generally, I provide psychotherapy to those who are dissatisfied with themselves, their relationships or their career and who aspire to lead a more meaningful and fulfilling life. Psychotherapy leads to better self-knowledge, to making healthier life choices and to greater self acceptance and confidence, while reducing uncomfortable symptoms that interfere in daily living and inhibit a values driven life. I believe successful treatments are based on a warm, supportive and non-judgmental environment, where you can comfortably explore all presenting issues with me. I believe in the inherent worth and dignity of each client and design my treatments to allow each individual to live a more full and exceptional life. Click here to learn more about David. ASHLEY PARKS she/her accepting new clients: waitlist type of clients: teens, adults, individual approach: psychodynamic IFS, EMDR, education/training: I am a LCSW that specializes in working with people in the LGBTQ+ community, and people who have experienced trauma.

IMAN SAID they/he/she accepting new clients: waitlist type of clients: adults, individuals approach: education/training: University of Maryland, Baltimore County, Georgia State University, University of Maryland, College Park insurance: BCBS (all plans except Blue Local, Blue Value and Blue Home), Aetna, Cigna, self-pay When working with clients, I aim to fully understand their story to help them further understand themselves. Living as a sexual, gender, religious, and racial minority means I sit at the intersections of multiple marginalized identities. My lived experiences have led me to foster abolitionist radical healing predominantly in QTPOC (queer and trans people of color) communities. I deeply believe that we navigate the world as authors of our epic adventures, which shape our identities and self-concepts. My therapy style combines narrative and feminist techniques to provide each client with empowering tools to craft their story. Through this approach, we can work together to make space for and understand your lived experience in our sessions. As your therapist, I aim to help you use your history to shift your present narrative. We can do this by honoring not only the factors that influence you -- but the factors that you influence. In doing so, I hope we can use our sessions to build a foundation to write and rewrite your story confidently and continuously. To expand my knowledge and better support my clients, I have additional training in human sexuality and gender, traumatology, radical healing, abolitionist psychology, and embodied approaches (i.e., focusing on the body’s physiological processes). I know that supportive communities help foster supported individuals, so I have also taken the time to learn from abolitionist organizations in the South about the principles, applications, and values of utilizing transformative justice as an approach to community harm and conflict in and out of therapy. My therapeutic focus often includes identity development, interpersonal processing, emotional processing, trauma, intracommunal conflict, grief, anxiety, and depression. In my free time, I find time to play by gardening, hiking, singing, roller skating, and more recently, learning how to forage. I am currently under the supervision of David Young Oh, LCMHC.

My training and experience in couple therapy includes working with couples in relationship distress as well as with those who are looking for relationship enhancement, providing sex therapy including the use of the sensate focus method, conducting premarital counseling, and using evidenced-based treatment for couples facing individual stressors, such as the mental or physical illness of one partner (e.g. obsessive compulsive disorder, anorexia nervosa, breast cancer). I have significant training in several styles of individual therapy including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as well as insight-oriented therapies and psychodynamic perspectives. My more recent training in somatic approaches and mindful self-compassion complement my certification in yoga and mindfulness instruction to create a holistic approach to mental health.

My work addresses a wide variety of issues, including anxiety and depression, life transitions, trauma, identity and self-esteem issues, relational issues, as well more specialized issues such as anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa.

I have significant experience working with folks of all sexual orientations and gender expressions, those practicing non-monogamy, people of color, folks from many different backgrounds, and folks in bodies of different sizes, shapes, and abilities. I believe a compassionate respectful orientation toward understanding, hearing, and believing each person’s unique reality as a human is the most important foundation for any healing to happen. In addition to psychotherapy for individuals and couples, I also hold workshops and classes on yoga, writing, and self-compassion practices. I also offer private yoga and mindfulness instruction, and private sessions guiding expressive writing techniques. Click here to learn more about Jasmine.

I’m a 3rd generation Mexican/American, Texas born ‘n’ raised. As a person less inclined toward societal/conventional beauty standards, becoming a hairstylist wasn’t always on my radar. I had the misconception that entering the cosmetology world had to mean embracing those things blindly. The ways we adorn and groom ourselves has been central to who we are and how we engage with one another in the entirety of human history. When I realized that helping someone curate their look could have such a more profound effect — I dove right in. Being in the queer and trans community, it’s become so obvious to me how much a hair cut/style can mean changing how someone perceives their self, how others perceive them, and help folks feel more embodied. I recognize the vulnerability in sitting in a salon chair under a cape while someone sculpts your new look, and I want to make that as comfortable and enjoyable as possible for people. I’m also a firm believer that these services and “luxuries” provide an upward movement through a capitalist society and shouldn’t be reserved only for those of privilege. I provide sliding scale services with a heavy reliance on mutual aid. If you’d like to donate to help me continue, please do! I received my cosmetology certification via Durham Beauty Academy while apprenticing under Rachel Radford at Ceremony Salon in Carrboro, NC. I have also received advanced training for all hair textures in color, hair painting and balayage techniques from Whittemore House, Leftbrain Group, Bayou St. Blonde, Wella and Framesi color formulation, as well as razor and shear haircutting from Dre Donahue, Jayne Edo, Kien Hoang, R+Co and Oribe, and continue to grow my skill set with ongoing advanced education. instagram: rori.tijeras MARICON MAGIC AESTHETIC Sól Rivera they/them My name is Sól Rivera (latine and they/them) and I have worked in hair and cosmetics for seven years. In my time span working in the industry, I have seen the truly expressive queers doing their own hair in their bathrooms at home or kitchens or in the basements of DIY shows and thought to myself, “It’s my full belief that queers have always had to resort to ‘kitchen’ hair even if they do not want to.” It is my belief also that luxury hair and experiences should be accessible, sincerely, to all. The cosmetic industry has always catered to cis straight individuals and this space is a reclamation of aesthetic healing. I provide haircuts and coloring, brow stylings, and makeup services to teach one on one makeup skills in a comfortable environment or by request, for specific events. instaslam: mariconmagicaesthetic |
NON-DISCRIMINATION & INCLUSION STATEMENT
Systems of power, privilege, and oppression have traditionally created barriers for persons and groups with particular identities, ages, abilities, and histories. We pledge to do all we can to replace such barriers with ever-widening circles of solidarity and mutual respect. We strive to be a center for health and healing that truly welcomes all persons and commits to structuring the center in ways that empower and enhance everyone’s participation.
We intentionally welcome all. We foster a climate of purposeful inclusion, an environment where all can feel safe, valued, cared for, and given an opportunity to form meaningful connections with each other. We value the diversity of differences which includes (but is not limited to) gender identity and its expression, age, race, ethnicity, and national origin, range of abilities, sexual orientation, financial means, family structure, educational and class status and political perspective.
