Description
I provide therapy that is warm, customized, and collaborative. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck, uncertain, uneasy, or depressed. I work with clients to contextualize these experiences fostering deeper insight, creative responses, meaning, and connection. I believe that therapeutic work extends beyond the therapy session and I emphasize systemic responses to systemic injustice. As a person of multiple marginalized identities, it is important to me that BIPOC, disabled, neurodivergent, fat, and LGBTQ+ communities are met with care, respect, and affirmation of our full complexity.
I am a Certified Body Trust® provider and am trained in EMDR (a therapy that can reduce the impact of trauma symptoms). I use these trainings and a variety of therapeutic approaches (DBT, ACT, IFS) to help people move toward more connection, rootedness, and peace in life.
I am drawn to therapy for its respect of the depth, scope, and complexities of all people. Outside of private practice, I enjoy cooking, being in nature, reading, and if we're being real, reality tv. If you're considering reaching out, I'd be delighted to schedule a complimentary 20-minute consultation.
I accept HSA/FSA/Loveland Vouchers as well as provide superbills for out of network reimbursement. Check here to find out if you are eligible to be reimbursed for out-of-network therapy by your insurance company: mentaya.co/b/akilahsigler
