Averry Cox

My name is Averry Cox and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I am a Black and White biracial, neurodivergent AUDHD, bi-sexual, cisgender woman, and I am a single mother. I mention this because with these identities, I experience firsthand the complex messages from society about my worth, value, and place in this world.

As a woman of color and trauma survivor, I understand how limiting and unsafe therapy can feel for those with diverse backgrounds seeking support, honest expression, relatability, and genuine understanding in a non-judgmental environment.

I extend a warm invitation to families, individuals, and couples from all cultures to join me in therapy.

Therapy with me looks like me attuning to you and asking a lot of questions so I can develop a true understanding of your reality. I might challenge your current navigation of the issues you are experiencing by reframing your narrative, and requesting you participate in different exercises to explore and encourage potential perspective shifts. Theses exercises involve art, role play, journaling, and other methods to help you understand yourself.

Working with me is a very personalized and intentional experience where the directives and activities are specific to your interests and needs. The tempo is set by you; I am here to hold you in your vulnerability, remind you of your humanity, and challenge the years of tough messages that have you minimizing yourself. Overall, I am here to educate and encourage you to take space, because most clients I work with have been taught they deserve the exact opposite.

​

As your therapist I look forward to validating your experience of the pressures unique to you, and encouraging the utilization of self-given permission that allows you to be the you that feels authentic and honest.
