Nixon Therapists specializing in Gender Identity

Annabelle Gruner

I specialize in working with children and adolescents. Using a client-centered, strengths-based approach to play therapy, I create a warm, inviting, and non-judgmental space where children feel empowered to explore their emotions and world. Additionally, I find great fulfillment in working with clients at all stages of life. I work with adults in a variety of areas, including anxiety, depression, life transitions, and trauma.

Charmecia Morris

Are the teenage years bumpier than you thought? Maybe your mind is loud with worries and you can't seem to feel rested; no matter how much sleep you're getting. You’re really feeling the pressure. You're tired of beating yourself up. Therapy can provide you with a space to sort inherited patterns into helpful and not so helpful piles, reduce anxiety, explore new ways of managing stress, and hone connection skills that make relationships smoother. I can help you release what's weighing on you.

Mikah Watford

My clients are surprised by the speed at which they receive relief once we begin our work. They deserve relief from the depression, anxiety and anger that has them seeking help. The fall out from Trauma can filter into every part of your life, destroying relationships and leading to behavior you wish you could change. My clients can "breathe" and move forward with lives they only previously dreamed of. You deserve that too.

Carney Soderberg

I help young people (ages 6-30) understand their strengths and challenges, discover healthy ways to manage fears and frustration, and accept support. Many lack important skills to manage demands of school, relationships, and life events, leaving them "stuck" in patterns of avoidance and resistance that can be confusing to others. Through our work and collaboration with families and other care providers, my patients often report improved self-esteem, self-awareness, and social interactions.

Ali Siewert

Being human is often tough. Sometimes we lose our way and can feel stuck and overwhelmed. Sometimes we would like to change parts of our lives or ourselves but don’t know how. Therapy can be an empowering way to promote healing, growth, and wellness. Often, we initially seek treatment to address a specific concern and then begin to uncover other areas of our lives in which we want to make meaningful change. My goal is for this process to feel supportive, affirming, and appropriately challenging.

My clients are vibrant, resilient individuals and couples who are ready to embrace their authentic selves and create meaningful change. Many are members of the LGBTQ+ community, exploring gender identity, navigating the challenges of being non-binary or transgender, or working through the complexities of non-traditional relationships like non-monogamy and polyamory.

Adrienne Sneed

My approach resonates with clients (ages 13-72) who value creativity, spontaneity, and flexibility, in a non-judgmental welcoming space. Many of my clients have shared that they live on the fringe of societal norms and have felt disconnected from traditional therapy models. Most of my clients identify within the LGBTQ+ community, some are exploring or living in kink or polyamorous relationships.

Everyone’s pathway through life is uniquely their own, and I believe you are the expert on your own life. I believe your personal worldview and lived reality are absolutely integral to the therapeutic process. I work with couples and individuals both in-person and via telehealth. I embrace inclusivity of gender expression, sexual orientation, and alternative lifestyles, and am both sex positive and body affirming in my beliefs and approach.

Individuals, couples and polyamorous people 18 years of age or over. I enjoy working with people who are invested in change and personal growth. I believe therapy can benefit almost anybody who is open to it, or even just wants to check it out. I work particularly with non-binary identified persons or people going through, or considering going through, gender transition. Family/friend/associate issues, education and establishing security. For people questioning, I do not recruit.

I have a particular passion for working with survivors of childhood abuse, domestic, and sexual violence. I am also well versed in and absolutely love working with the LGBTQIA, BIPOC, and Kink/Poly communities. What I love about working with survivors is fiercely holding hope while delicately encouraging the sparks of change at a time that can be so dark.

Are you feeling distant from your life, loved ones, or yourself to the point of experiencing depression, self-judgement, or compulsive coping?

Together, we can find the path to that newfound safety and stability.

Do you find yourself striving for perfection, yet feeling a deep sense of loneliness beneath your achievements? If early experiences have led you to wear this perfectionist mask, you might be struggling with self-criticism and a disconnect from those around you. I offer a compassionate space where we can explore these feelings together. By understanding the roots of your perfectionism, we can work toward healing, helping you cultivate a more authentic relationship with yourself and others.

Do you feel like you are floating alone in the world, without a sense of clarity or self-acceptance? Do you wonder if the ways you experience sex and sexuality are 'normal' or 'okay'? Have you started questioning your sexual, gender, or relational identity? I've been through these things too and love working with queer or allied folx who need support. I want to help you find a more fulfilling life - whether its with sex, changing identity, or other general worries.

I specialize in trauma work and anxiety treatment. Although I welcome people from all identities and walks of life, I do have special experience working with queer-identifying individuals and teens. I also love working with self-identified "people pleasers", those who struggle with boundaries and survivors of abuse. I see you, and I would love to provide a safe and empowering place for you to start healing and giving yourself what you already provide for others.

Miguel Lopez

I work with many clients going through many different mental and life concerns. I have a strong passion working with the LGBTQIA+ community! I enjoy the moment when I see in a session a client achieve that mental "breakthrough;" accepting themselves for who they are and who they want to be. It takes a lot of work but through mental guidance on my part and determination on my clients, I see change and satisfaction!

I enjoy supporting members of the LGBTQI community, as well as those who have previously experienced traumatic events like domestic violence or sexual assault.

Jackie Rodriguez

Existence; an intense struggle in a manmade world of suffering. Dissociative experiences and feeling unhuman is a response we can care for. Maybe you've gone through a profound trauma, such as psychosis or assault, and are looking for some way to pick up what feels like broken pieces. The goals my clients aim to achieve include fostering community and feeling connected to the liberation of all peoples, and sometimes it's just making it to the next day.
