Heal, Reclaim, and Live Authentically
Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or out of alignment with your body, gender, or sexuality?
Therapy can help.
I’m Christa McCrorie, LICSW-S, PIP, a queer-affirming therapist, sex therapist, and certified birth doula. I help clients process trauma, navigate intimacy and relationships, and reconnect with their authentic selves. In a safe, compassionate space, we’ll explore patterns that hold you back, build coping skills, and work toward lasting change.
Using evidence-based approaches like EMDR and other trauma-focused techniques, I guide clients in reclaiming safety, pleasure, and confidence, whether healing from past trauma, exploring identity, or preparing for a perinatal journey.
If you’re ready to take the next step toward growth, connection, and empowerment,
you’re in the right place.
