Being seen and supported for who you are is vital to feeling comfortable with your therapist. Will strives to provide an affirming space for all individuals, predominantly gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and non-binary individuals and couples. Heteronormative societal pressures often force sexual minorities to think of themselves in a non-affirming language, creating internal conflict and self-doubt. Crafting therapy with a language that reflects your lifestyle and beliefs is a hallmark of Will's therapeutic approach, and we craft that language together in a safe and collaborative space. Will adheres to Feminist Theory, which directly addresses the oppressive societal forces shaping American culture. Will feels it is vital to acknowledge how societal forces impact minorities collectively and individually.
For the last 20 years, Will has used the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model as the basis for his mentorship work in the LGBTQ+ and kink communities, and it has delivered remarkable results. IFS offers the tools to unearth and discuss the oppressive forces that have shaped a client's perception of Self. Will also use Narrative therapy to provide the client with a mechanism to literally rewrite their story. Blending these therapeutic models opens numerous pathways to crafting meaningful change.
