Beth Thomas
APCTherapist Details
As a neurodivergent, queer, Black, biracial, cisgender female, my professional practice is rooted in leveraging my various identities and privileges alongside themes of resilience, community care, and social justice. I center the values and methods that move counseling towards a practice of cultural affirmation and responsiveness, and away from the myth of “cultural competency” that is traditionally fed to clinicians.
In our time together, we’ll explore ways to pursue a lifestyle that better aligns with your unique needs. Our work together will help you: find confidence in navigating healthy relationships, escape the cycle of high achievement and burnout, become attuned with the needs of your nervous system and develop the skills and resources to better regulate its responses. My approach is both challenging and supportive, direct yet affirming. I’m committed to creating a therapy space that values your autonomy and centers your lived experiences. As a therapist, I weave lessons of self-advocacy and resilience into our work, always mindful of the broader oppressive systems we navigate.
