Profile of an MSW, LSW named Violet Vanilla Valley Free Spirit Counseling in Columbus, OH

"My clients are typically between the ages of 16 and 60. They are typically, but not exclusively, queer, trans, polyamorous, neurodivergent, or exploring identities. Clients come to me to receive coaching from someone who shares one or more of my identities. freespiritcounselingllc.com/violet-vanilla-valley-msw-lsw-she-they/

My approach is very integrative and person-centered, putting an emphasis on clients' narratives and perceptions of their selves and the world. I do this by fostering a relationship that supports clients in authoring narratives that serve their joy, ambition, and identity.

I am a trans, non-binary, autistic, polyamorous, queer, kinky, and leftist therapist. Meeting clients' cultural and intellectual needs in session is extremely important to me, so the practice of cultural and intellectual humility helps me bridge the divide between myself and my clients. Clients are the experts of their own lives, I am simply here to help."

If only. She should have her license revoked for that alone. Oh wait she doesn't yet have a license. 🙄

"They are typically, but not exclusively, queer, trans, polyamorous, neurodivergent, or exploring identities."

Translation: "They grew up on Tumblr, TikTok, Snapchat, etc, were traumatized by early exposure to pornography, have nature-deficit disorder, likely cannabis-use disorder, and are so peer-attached they transition in groups."

This is an example of bad practice. All her identifiers are example of inserting herself no boundaries. Yeah steer clear but many will not know that.
