Veda Massanari-Thatcher
Introduction
As a queer, neurodivergent, and sex positive person who grew up in a very small conservative town, I understand the importance of having a safe space where you can explore all of the different facets of yourself. My goal is to co-create an environment with you where you feel empowered to show up authentically, to explore, nurture, and hold every facet of your identity with compassion. Are you constantly feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, or just trying to make it through the day? Do you struggle to feel understood and accommodated in a world built for neurotypical folks? Are you wanting a space where you can explore sexuality, identity, gender, and kink without feeling shamed? I take a person-centered, relational approach to therapy, cultivating a space where we can work together to bring more ease, joy, and self-connection into your life. I received my MSW from Columbia University and previously earned a dual degree in Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies and Philosophy at The College of Wooster. I have experience working with sexual trauma and domestic violence survivors, sex workers, those who are HIV/STI positive, and adults with disabilities, as well as providing sexual health education. I hold a certificate in prolonged grief therapy from the prolonged grief institute and am in the process of obtaining a trauma certification.
