  • Jupiter (Elliot) Townley (they/them)

    MS, NCC, LPC

    Jupiter works with clients around the intersections of structural and personal trauma, working with complex trauma alongside queerness, transness, and neurodivergence. As an existential counselor at heart, they focus on the uniqueness of each person and how we make meaning out of a chaotic and painful and beautiful world. Jupiter considers counseling to be part of a larger vocation of living in heartfelt connection - alongside counseling, they also build deep relationship with natural spaces & plants, engage in political activism, make a lot of art, and practice buddhism and witchcraft. Identity-wise, Jupiter is a white, variably able-bodied, polyamorous autistic genderqueer singlet* with lived experience healing from complex trauma. On weekends they may be playing D&D, talking to their garden, reading fantasy novels, or having some Floor Time.

    *Singlet refers to a person whose identity is [mostly] cohesive into a core sense of self ("Me," "I," etc.). This contrasts to "plural" folks or "systems" clinically described by Dissociative Identity Disorder or Other-Specified Dissociative Disorder, where one body may contain many distinct senses of self.

  • Sheila Walker (she/her)

    Clinical Social Worker / Therapist - LCSW

    Sheila believes that healing happens in relationships. Her work is rooted in her own lived experience of trauma, disability, chronic pain, growing up poor, and being “different.” Her counseling is trauma-informed, anti-racist, queer/ACE/trans affirming, fat/body positive, embraces the full spectrum of economic experience, bodies, neurotypes, and abilities, and is based in wonder/awe/spiritual exploration. Her practice is informed by the latest neurobiology that explains how stress can get stuck in our bodies, and also how our bodies are made to heal.

    Sheila is a catalyst, counselor, dancer, elder, healer, scholar, social worker, and all in a human body.
