Individual Counseling with Resident Therapists
The properties of light offers individual counseling services for folks of all ages. Resident & licensed therapists providing services here focus on joining and supporting queer, trans, non-binary, and gender expansive youth, as well as neurodivergent & LGBTQIA+ adults in navigating the path to self-knowledge, acceptance and radical self-love. Our approach to working with youth is client-led and family-collaborative - in individual counseling sessions we offer opportunities for exploration and healing through communication, art, and sensory + imaginative play. We also offer counseling services (and access to the art supplies, fidgets and toys!) for neurodivergent & LGBTQIA+ young adults. Resident therapists who provide individual counseling services receive training and clinical supervision from Rachel Boggan, LCSW and Camille Rudney, LCSW.
Resident Therapists:
Emmin Bickford (they/them), MSW, Supervisee in Social Work - Individual Counseling, ages 4+
Ruby Tippl (they/them), MSW, Supervisee in Social Work - Individual Counseling, ages 18+
Rachel also offers consultation and training for supervisees, therapists and psychological assessment providers in the community who are interested in building competence in the areas of autistic + neurodivergent centered practices with people of all ages, and nurturing gender euphoria while supporting + affirming the experiences of queer, trans, and non-binary children and adolescents.
The Properties of Light also offers clients a fabulous lending library, which features learning and healing resources for neurodivergent and/or lgbtqia+ folks and their loved ones, resources and materials for therapists-in-training, and stories of neuroqueer + trans resistance & joy for all ages!
