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.

People truly begin to heal the moment they feel heard and understood. We are committed to providing all individuals the compassion, unconditional support, and helpful insight through the counseling process. In this space, you have the freedom to safely express your feelings, thoughts, experiences, life stresses, and desires. As the therapy deepens, we have found the therapeutic relationship grows and individuals will begin to find relief from emotional distress, improve personal relationships, develop insight into observed behavioral patterns and symptoms, and address the concerns that initially brought them to see us.
We would love the chance to work alongside you. So if you need help, we are here to help.
