Ian Crowe

I create a collaborative environment centered on the premise that you are expert of your own life. Using a holistic, multicultural lens, I both affirm and challenge clients to help discern goals, values, & beliefs as well as their origins. I use an integrated approach with Acceptance & Commitment Theory (ACT) as its foundation. I incorporate techniques to help clients accept what is beyond their control as well as take values-based action in the present to create a more fulfilling life. Additionally, I integrate both Attachment and Family Systems Theory to encourage better understanding of interpersonal roles and desired boundaries. While I work with a wide variety of individuals, I specialize in supporting LGBTQ+ clients to process difficult feelings, relationships, and life transitions. Each transition may feel like a new challenge, however, we can often look to our past experiences to guide us through. It's important my clients view therapy as a safe space where they can be their authentic selves and share openly. Additionally, I see value in connecting work done in session to media and other resources as seeing, hearing, and reading about major themes of existence can foster greater understanding and a sense of belonging
