Who We Support
Therapy for the moments that feel too heavy to carry alone.
Trauma-Informed Care
We support survivors of trauma, PTSD, complex trauma, childhood trauma, domestic violence, and religious or spiritual harm. We also work with veterans, first responders, helpers and healers, people in 12-step recovery, and others carrying heavy emotional or occupational burdens. Our trauma work includes grief and loss of all kinds—death, pet loss, relationships, identity shifts, health loss, and immigration-related grief—for adults and teens 16+.
Neurodivergent, Disability & Chronic Illness Care
We affirm ADHD, autism, AuDHD, sensory needs, executive functioning challenges, and Highly Sensitive Persons (HSPs). We also support individuals living with chronic illness, chronic pain, physical disabilities (including blindness), and those seeking disability-justice-oriented, fat-positive, HAES®, and Body Trust® aligned care. Our approach is flexible, validating, and responsive to each person’s access needs, lived experience, and way of moving through the world.
Culturally Rooted Care
We honor the intersections of race, culture, language, migration, and lived experience. Our team supports first-generation, immigrant, undocumented and DACA communities, Third Culture Kids (TCKs), mixed-culture and mixed-race clients, and people navigating interfaith or cross-cultural relationships. We strive to meet each person with nuance, respect, and cultural humility.
LGBTQIA+ & Identity-Affirming Care
We offer affirming therapy for queer, trans, non-binary, and questioning clients; people exploring gender or sexuality; and families seeking LGBTQIA+-affirming support. We also support individuals navigating racial or cultural identity, belonging, mixed-race or multicultural experiences, and other identity transitions. We acknowledge the beauty, complexity, and resilience within LGBTQIA+ communities and the broader communities we serve.
Real therapists with real lived experience.
Our team brings both professional training and personal understanding — because we’ve lived through grief, trauma, identity shifts, migration stories, chronic pain, disability, and deeply human moments, too.
There’s something powerful about being met by someone who understands how vulnerable it can feel to be here.
Why Brave Soul Therapy?
Therapy rooted in presence, humanity, and depth.
At Brave Soul Therapy, we offer care that is grounded, relational, and attuned. Our approach centers safety, identity, culture, and the full complexity of being human — because healing happens when you feel met, not managed.
🧿 Trauma-informed & body-aware
We move at your pace, with consent and grounding at the center.
🌎 Culturally responsive & socially aware
Your culture, story, and lived realities are not an afterthought — they are honored as part of your healing.
🧠 Neurodivergent-affirming
We understand different ways of thinking, communicating, and relating — and we adapt to your wiring, not the other way around.
🌈 LGBTQIA+ affirming
Affirming care that respects your identity, autonomy, and truth.
