LMFT · AASECT-Certified Sex Therapist · Trauma Specialist · Clinical Supervisor · WEIRDO
I work with People, Not Pathology.
My clients are philosophers, empaths, activists, creators, and cycle-breakers.
They are tender, and they are strong.
They have felt emotional and physical pain, they have experienced oppression and abuse, they know deep fear and grief.
They are both resilient and tired of needing to be resilient.
They are capable of joy, pleasure, and compassion beyond conventional imagining, and I have the deepest reverence for their recognition that they might need some support to get there.
CJ is an AASECT-Certified Sex Therapist, AAMFT Clinical Fellow, and a graduate of Thomas Jefferson University’s Couple & Family Therapy program with a specialization in Sex Therapy, where they received a departmental award for their research project on Emotionally-Focused Therapy with couples. They are a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, Level II (CCTP-II). As an educator & mentor, CJ is an AAMFT-Approved Supervisor, and frequent guest lecturer on topics such as queer & gender-affirming care, working with survivors of sexual trauma, & sexuality with disability.
training & Experience
In order to maintain licensure, all therapists must engage in a certain amount of continuing education. Rather than just “checking the box”, it is my goal to engage in this process thoughtfully and with an eye toward staying as up-to-date as possible in the areas I consider my specialties. Below, you can find a small sample of the continuing education trainings and seminars I’ve completed in recent years:
Complex Trauma Certification with Janina Fisher (Levels I & II)
EMDR Immersion & Parts Work for Complex Trauma
Healing Trauma Through Kink (TASHRA)
Empowering Trans Erotic Wellness with Dr. Damon Constantinides
