Counseling and Clinical Supervision
For Clients
Here are a number of resources for counseling clients, including research, general information about some of the methodologies I practice, and where to seek support in the community. I have also included a number of LGBTQ-specific resources to find community and information. I also have a page of resources available to other counseling and healing professionals which may be of interest.
