Parker Curtis-Evans

Most of my experience is with teens and adults who are LGBTQIA2S+, with a particular focus on clients who are exploring gender or navigating gender transition. I also have extensive experience working with BIPOC clients. Clients who come into my office are often carrying a fear of what will happen if they center their own needs, along with a lot of stress and anxiety.

My therapy style is warm, easy-going, and affirming. I believe therapeutic relationships are professional, have the boundaries they need, and are also authentic. What this means for me is that I will handle what you tell me with care and without judgment. You may be carrying the heavy pain of difficult memories and shame. I will not shy away or look at you differently. I can help you process, and only ever at your own pace.

I believe clients heal and process at their own pace. I will give you honest feedback and encouragement, but I will not expect you to share anything you do not want to. I will help you sort things out, offer support, and offer different perspectives. I will not consider myself the expert on your life.

Having an anti-oppressive lens means I am knowledgeable about systems of power and their impact on clients. For my clients who are Black, Indigenous, or other people of color, I cannot fully understand their lived experience, but I can do my best to understand how systems of power and oppression affect their lives and opportunities. I am always open to talking about this in therapy. I do not shy away from these topics, and I work hard to provide a safe space for clients to be as open as they wish. I am also open to feedback about my therapy process, and I work hard to put my ego aside. If we have a rupture in therapy, I will listen and process with you to repair the rupture and find a better way for therapy to move forward.

I aim to make therapy accessible. Most of my appointments happen in our sensory room. If you prefer a standard therapy office, I am happy to offer that. If you would like low-pressure eye contact and more control over the external environment and your sensory experiences, you may prefer the sensory room.

My hope is that even if you have not found the support you need in the past, you will find it now, whether that is with me or with one of our other therapists. You deserve support and a space that is welcoming, accessible, and truly helps.

I have an invisible disability, and both of my parents had visible disabilities. I am very open to working with clients who are disabled. We have a working elevator and our hallways are wide enough for wheelchair users.
