Lucy Brandes
MACP, C.C.C. (she/her)
Who am I? I'm a proud member of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community - I'm a gay woman, a mom, a partner, a therapist, and a lover of people. And one of the things I love most is celebrating what it means to be truly, deeply, authentically ourselves.
I have special interest and passion for working with queer folx. And though I work only with individuals, I love working with folx in various kinds of relationship structures (e.g. Ethical Non-Monogamy/Polyamory). My experiences and training have also given me unique insights for working with faith deconstruction, religious trauma, shifting worldviews, and spiritual practices.
My work as a psychotherapist has an attachment-based trauma focus, giving care to inner parts (e.g. your inner child), developmental trauma, complex trauma, and learning to navigate life’s ups and downs. More specifically, I work with trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, Complex PTSD, and dissociative disorders. I am also an Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Certified therapist, and an EMDR Consultant in Training.

If you have any questions about my approach and work please don't hesitate to reach out.
