Are you looking for a supervision group where you feel understood, respected, and valued? This might be a good group for you!
(I’m using trans and queer as catchall QUILTBAG terms. If you land somewhere in that neighborhood but you don’t use those words, no problem— let me know which ones you do. ☺ )

About Sasha
I’m a white transfeminine non-binary queer LPC, and I’ve been in private practice since 2016. I have a passion for helping people feel connected, understood, and respected in their gender, sexual, and affectional identities. I offer individual and group therapy for queer and gender-diverse adults, as well as consultation, training, and supervision.
Some of my clinical specialties and approaches:
- mindfulness
- Hakomi
- IFS
- humanistic counseling
- client-centered DBT
- relational psychotherapy
- contemplative psychotherapy
- group therapy
- trans, non-binary, and genderqueer cultural responsiveness
- bipolar disorder
- neuroaffirming therapy
- transpersonal psychology
- anti-oppressive therapy
- integrating extraordinary experiences
Why I’m Offering this Group
I understand the power of being in a safer space where I feel that I belong. This was something I longed for throughout my clinical training and early career, particularly in relation to my queer and trans/NB identity positions. Since then, I’ve found supportive consultation groups, colleagues, and friends, but I’m not aware of supervision groups focusing on queer and trans interns and therapists. I hope this group will be a great place for you to develop as an early career therapist and feel supported and encouraged to make the authentic you part of the professional you. ☺
Why This Group Meets Every Other Week
A group that only meets once a month makes it hard to build community and group cohesion. Meeting a few times a month will help this group become a good container and a supportive environment.
Next Steps
If you’re interested, get in touch! We’ll schedule a one-on-one conversation and find out together if it feels like a good fit. Drop me a line and we’ll figure it out from there. I also offer individual supervision if you’re interested in that.
