Connect with Avi Vodnoy Wolf
You want to feel emotions fully without shame. You want to be connected to your own sense of desire and purpose. You deserve a space to explore the parts of you that feel unknown, “unacceptable,” or taboo. My commitment in the therapeutic relationship is to welcome and value all aspects of your experience – the stories that reflect humor and resilience, and the parts that have been shamed or dismissed. I combine EMDR trauma processing, somatic approaches, and discussions about how systems of oppression shape what we believe about ourselves to help clients express emotion and explore new patterns and identities.
I often work with people who feel emotionally overwhelmed towards building a vibrant and grounded relationship with their feelings. My specialities are working with anxiety, depression, PTSD, and chronic pain. I have several years of experience and training offering sex therapy through a queer and trans lens.
As a trans therapist, I specialize in working with my community of queer and trans folks, and performing artists. I'm also a theatre artist and the last ten years of my research has focused on actors’ mental health. Through my research, I created and now facilitate a program which teaches actors skills for exiting emotion and character.
