Non-Binary Therapists in Milwaukee, WI
What brings people to therapy varies, but some of the individuals I work with are folks who: are children of parents with mental illness or substance use issues, struggle with interpersonal relationships, tend toward self-criticism, self-sabotage, or have intrusive thoughts, feel immobilized to pursue their goals, have perfectionistic tendencies and high expectations for self and others, who want to unlearn unhelpful messages from family or societal systems, or wish to explore their gender or sexuality.

My ideal client is a teen, adult, or couple that is in need of communication work, reframing and refocusing thoughts, or in need of asssistance with anxiety. I enjoy working with individuals who are motivated on their journey to healthier mental practices and those seeking assistance.

It's important to me that my clients feel welcome and safe enough to show up exactly as they are. I do my best to attend to my clients in a fully present and available way so that I can deeply witness, listen, and respond with clarity, non-judgment, and compassion. I believe that psychotherapy can be a powerful vehicle for self-discovery, self-acceptance, and transformation. I draw on my own experiences of joy and suffering to be with my clients in a human way. I identify as Queer and Non-Binary and have been practicing Buddhism and psychotherapy for 20+ years.

Welcome! Thank you for stopping by my profile. My name is Kai and my expertise is the lived experiences of BIPOC folks and queer folks as I find joy in being a listening ear for those who have yet to be heard. You may be going through difficult life transitions and find it hard to feel connected to others; perhaps you received a diagnosis that is unfamiliar to you and you are unsure of what comes next; maybe you are thinking about your family or you are exploring your cultural identity, and it can be easy to feel disconnected even with friends around. Whatever the case may be, I would be honored to navigate this with you.

My focus is in working with clients who live in some way that is outside of a societal expectation or norm. My style is rooted in the idea of collective liberation, and my clients are queer folx, trans folx, changemakers and activists, those living with chronic illness, survivors of relational and systemic trauma; those with body types, cultural identities, family or relationship structures that differ from those represented frequently or positively in mainstream media.

Are you struggling with feeling triggered, stressed, or unfocused? Do you desire a secure and non-judgmental space? Would you benefit from having a therapist who not only comprehends your circumstances and listens but also provides support while pushing you to grow when needed? My approach to therapy is collaborative and compassionate. It's incredibly fulfilling to support individuals as they navigate these complex aspects of their lives. Each person brings a unique perspective and set of challenges, and being able to offer guidance and empathy can make a significant difference.

Mental health therapy is a type of healthcare that should be available to everyone. It should also be provided in such a way that you can feel comfortable, safe, and supported, even when being challenged.

With my own identities as a neurodiverse, genderqueer (he/they), pansexual, Hispanic/white person, I strive to create and maintain an inclusive environment for all my clients. To this end, my approach to therapy is best described as collaborative, creating a therapeutic experience that is relevant to your life and experiences.

I am currently accepting new clients (last updated Sept 2024).

I also work with parents and siblings of LGBTQ individuals who are processing and adjusting to a family member's newly disclosed identity.

As you’re walking along your path, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed, lost, or stuck. There are often different forks in the road, rough patches, and noises behind you demanding your attention, which make it difficult to continue forward. I’m here to help teenagers and adults seeking to improve their wellness and develop a better understanding of their path. As a queer person, I also know the stressors of navigating a cis-het normative culture. For Trans and gender expansive folx, I use informed consent and self-determination models.
