About My Clients

Are you an LGBTQIA+ person or ally looking for a safe space in a world that doesn’t feel safe? Maybe you’re questioning your gender or sexual identity, but are scared to say it out loud. Is stress leading you to drink or use more, and you’d like to better understand this? You don’t need to feel alone. I’m a queer therapist offering LGBTQIA+ affirming teletherapy in OH and CA. Ready to create a more authentic and fulfilling life? Reach out, and let’s build it together—on your terms.

How I Can Help You

As a fellow queer person, I see you. Living in these challenging and often hostile times can make it harder to remember that you deserve to live a joyful and fulfilling life. It’s important to have a space where you can process your thoughts, feelings, and emotions without judgment. I'm here to support you in navigating these complexities. We will work together to build resilience despite the injustices around us. I will help you develop a deeper understanding of yourself, allowing you to create an authentic life aligned with your truest self. I offer a safe, warm, affirming, and supportive environment, and invite you to reach out—you don't have to go through this alone.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that every person has the potential for growth and healing. I’m deeply committed to working from an anti-oppressive, intersectional, and trauma-informed framework. I believe that you are the expert in your own life, and we will always move at a pace that feels safe to you. I currently provide telehealth therapy to people in Ohio and California, and I will be providing in-person services in Columbus, Ohio, in the future. Check out my website, therapistkari.com, to learn more about me. Reach out to schedule a free 15-minute phone or video consultation—I’m ready to get to know the true you.
