Be held, in all of who you are.
Trans-centered and trauma-informed mental health care
Dee Church, LLMSW (she/they)
My whole “thing”
It’s frustrating when we can’t talk about what’s going on without there being a million thoughts rushing through our heads about how we’re being perceived; the doubts and questions in our own minds building up because we don’t want anyone to use those thoughts against us in some way.
Perhaps you’re a trans person navigating sexual relationships and are uncomfortable with how your body is being treated, but don’t know how to set boundaries and seek pleasure for yourself
Maybe you are a couple who is newly exploring polyamory/non-monogamy but are constantly becoming emotionally overwhelmed
And maybe you’ve experienced a great deal of trauma, but don’t want your therapist to always be tying it back to your trans-ness, kinkiness, or queerness (or maybe you do. I’m not your therapist — yet)
I get that. And I’m hoping we can make a space where you can let it all out and trust I will be there to hold it for you, with joy and understanding.
My name is Dee Church (she/they)
I am a white, trans femme, able-bodied, and neurodivergent clinical social worker and sex educator who focuses on queer and trans-centered care.
I have experience providing services to LGBTQ+ youth and adults, people living with HIV/AIDS, survivors of sexual assault and intimate partner violence, kink/BDSM practitioners, people in polyamorous and non-monogamous partnerships, and sex workers.
In my free time (though, who is truly free under capitalism?), I like to practice guitar, read about chess, and annoy my partner with endless puns.
Providing you with space to relax
Offering virtual therapy appointments so that you can get the support you need from the comfort of your own home. In-person office visits will be handled in a case-by-case basis due to Covid-19 concerns.
In-person and remote options
My office is currently located in the heart of Depot Town, though throughout the Covid-19 Pandemic, I will be only doing virtual appointments unless there is a specific need for in-person.
