About Reece Thomas (they/them):

My approach to therapy is rooted in radical compassion and validation. I believe that feeling safe inside of our bodies and in our relationships is critical in healing work. I enjoy helping clients understand early childhood messages and how those relational wounds impact how we show up today.

I specialize in working with people with eating disorders, OCD, neurodivergence, LGBTQ+ Issues, BIPOC Issues, and/or complex trauma.

As much as I have learned from research, I prioritize lived experience and believe that no specialization will take the place of a safe relationship and your own internal wisdom. My primary goal is to help you feel more understood, safe and connected so that you may begin living the ideal life you desire.

Recognizing that no two humans are the same, I utilize an individualized approach incorporating aspects of somatic work, parts work and a variety of behavioral approaches- all with an anti-oppression, depathologizing lens. For me, this means that I seek to understand the ways in which you have been taught that you are the problem, that you are responsible for “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” and “trying harder” — together we unpack these ideas by exploring what systems, identities and experiences shaped and protected you.

From there, we build agency and awareness with how you want to operate within your life, fostering self compassion along the way. Collaboration is critical to our work; I am not the expert on you, you have so much wisdom within your body already. My aim is to hold space for every part of you to be sacredly witnessed.
