Marci Breedlove
Everyone wants to be themselves, to be “seen,” and to be valued for their uniqueness. We’re wired to need safe and affirming relationships and connections. When we’re struggling, it’s usually because something has gotten in the way — not because we’re somehow “defective” or “flawed.” I value authenticity, and strive to help clients feel and honor emotions that may seem “wrong” or unacceptable. I’ve worked extensively with college students, survivors of sexual assault and intimate partner violence, adults with ADHD and autism, couples, and individuals living with severe and persistent mental illness. I’m a licensed psychologist who began my career as a social worker, and see myself not only as a therapist, but also an advocate.

First session
Although structure and plans are important, life often seems to have its own agenda. I’m OK with that! You get to be the one to decide when we need to switch gears, change direction, or revamp entirely. It’s always OK to talk about how you feel the process is going.
Strengths
I’m especially passionate about helping people become more and more of themselves. I work to provide an LGBTQIA-affirming and anti-racist space that feels welcoming and safe. If you need an ally who sees the best in you — exactly as you are — I would be honored to work with you.
Ideal clients
Adults with ADHD and autism spectrum traits, college students, couples, and those coping with identity concerns and life transitions
