Dr. L A McCrae
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCADC, FOT, CCTP, CCTSA
"Not everything that is faced can be changed. But nothing can be changed until it is faced." - James Baldwin
As a Black, queer, transmasculine, and neurodivergent scholar-practitioner, I view therapy as an act of radical liberation rather than social compliance. Grounded in the Black radical tradition, I partner with "Deep-Sea Divers"—scholars, activists, and survivors—to move beyond traditional talk therapy and into the realm of spiritual reclamation. My approach is direct and somatic, utilizing Sandplay, Somatic Focusing, and Bibliotherapy to map your internal geography and dismantle the "head trash" of carceral systems. Whether navigating neurodivergence, TBI recovery, or the cycles of dependency, we work collaboratively to honor your lived experience without moralistic shame. I do not sit as a detached observer, but as a witness to your evolution and a partner in your resistance against a broken world. My goal is your absolute autonomy, facilitating the heavy, holy work of unmasking and rewriting your testimony. If you are seeking a sanctuary where your identity is celebrated and your liberation is the priority, I am ready to dive with you.

Dionysica Stewart
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LCPC
What sets my therapy practice apart is the deeply personalized care I provide. I don’t believe in one size- fits all therapy I take the time to truly listen, understand your story, and create a plan that feels right for you. I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can show up exactly as you are, while still feeling supported and gently challenged to grow. Because sessions are held online through a secure, HIPAA compliant platform, you can access therapy from anywhere, making it easier to stay consistent and committed to your healing. If you’re looking for a therapist who will walk alongside you not just talk at you this is the right place to start.
