Eric Tivers (ADHD reWired)
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, ADHD-CCSP
As a queer, bisexual, and sex-positive therapist, I know how powerful it can be to have a space where you don’t have to explain or edit who you are. My practice is fully LGBTQ+ affirming and welcoming of all identities and relationship structures, including polyamorous and kink communities. As a bisexual man, I understand the unique challenges of biphobia and bi-erasure — both within and outside of the LGBTQ+ community — and how isolating that can feel.
I also understand how shame, masking, and rejection can shape our sense of self — and how healing it can be to feel seen, accepted, and supported just as you are. In therapy, we’ll explore identity, relationships, and self-expression in ways that align with your values and your nervous system. My approach is neurodiversity-affirming and trauma-informed, honoring the intersections of queerness, neurodivergence, and authenticity. Whether you’re processing coming out, navigating gender or relationship transitions, or simply wanting to live more fully as yourself, this is a space where all of you is welcome.
