Hi! My name is Tristan. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Washington and New York. I am a sex and body-positive, LGBTQI+ affirming, kink-friendly therapist who works with adults, 18 and over, around varying topics such as gender, sexuality, HIV/AIDS & STIs, safer sex, self-esteem, self-acceptance, family, Asian (Filipino) identity, polyamorous/alternative relationship structures, harm-reduction, depression, and anxiety.
I am an affirming and inquisitive therapist, and I believe that through self-reflection and self-examination, we can reach a more joyous, peaceful, and healthier life. I also prefer a person-centered approach, so we go at your speed and what makes you comfortable. Sometimes I will push you a little more, but within limits. I also provide Ketamine Assisted-Psychotherapy (KAP). Please do not hesitate to reach out if you are interested in learning more.
People who see me usually feel that I am very interested in understanding their experience, gaining insight, and supporting them in figuring out their next steps. Taking care of your mental health can be hard, and my role is to assist you the best way I can.
