Disability-Affirming Therapy

“Due to the general lack of awareness around disability-affirmative therapy, I have had therapists who do not even take my disability into account when they’re talking to me and asking me about my life. They have inaccessible clinics which have steep stairs and heavy doors.”

This will not be your experience in my space!

I see you and will strive to understand your unique experience of being disabled in an able-bodied world where you are expected to comply with non-disabled ideals.

Did you blame yourself?

As a disabled child, did you pray to die somewhere, somehow because you felt isolated, excluded because you were different, without friends, unattractive?

Were you pushed to “get over it” and “look on the bright side of things” in an able-bodied world of therapy, healing, and recovery?

Have you experienced disability grief due to medical and sexual trauma, bullying, and exclusion in schools, which is often not addressed or misdiagnosed?

Now is the time for you to sit with a therapist and discover and heal from how society’s limiting beliefs and thinking errors have harmed you, stereotyped you, and disabled you from flying high on your abilities.

Once and for all, let’s speak your truth to their ignorance!

Let’s discuss how not being seen, understood, and marginalized has limited your potential. Let’s make your potential our goal.

I am here for you. Call me at (843) 779-6514.
