Skye Suzanne Wood
I am passionate about providing IFS and EMDR therapies to queer and trans people. Serving my community as a queer therapist is one of my main life purposes. I do this work because I am committed to liberation for all people. I believe that none of us are free until ALL of us are free, and I bring a queer and intersectional lens to my work.
As survivor of religious trauma and Intimate Partner Violence, I specialize in helping clients find and trust their own intuition.
As survivor of religious trauma and Intimate Partner Violence, I specialize in helping clients find and trust their own intuition. Sometimes my clients love to use tarot or astrology as a framework to discuss their development; I welcome alternative spiritual practices!
First session
You don't ever need to mask in therapy sessions with me! Some clients like to do artwork or bring fidgets. Some like to move around or use stims. Some bring their tarot decks or want to discuss astrological happenings and how those themes are impacting their development. You will be met with care, compassion, and curiosity.
Strengths
I have lived experience as a survivor of religious trauma and abuse as well as Intimate Partner Violence. I know what it is like to have to deconstruct your entire world and life view when it no longer matches up with your experiences. People often seem to find me when they are at some sort of crossroads or transition in life. I have been told that I am warm and accepting but also know how to cut through to the heart of the matter.
Ideal clients
My ideal client is self aware and curious. The majority of my clients are queer and transgender people who are interested in improving their lives and relationships through IFS and EMDR. Some of my clients love to use alternative spirituality tools such as the tarot, which I welcome. I also work a fair bit with folx who have attachment issues or PTSD, including C-PTSD.
Treatment methods
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
I have 4 years of experience using IFS in my own practice and with clients. I use IFS to help clients gain awareness of their own systems and gain self compassion.
EMDR
EMDR can be a wonderful way to find relief from traumatic memories, including dreams, flashbacks, panic attacks, and rumination.
Compassion Focused
I believe that you already know the way! You are the expert of your own lived experiences. I do my best to meet clients where they are, with warmth and curiosity.
