Meet Svea

Svea Wentzler, MA

“I want to help people find where they have power, not help them adjust to oppression.”

I work with adult individuals struggling with the effects of anxiety, worry, depression, shame, trauma, addiction, injustice, heteronormativity, masculinity, productivity, sexism, racism and questions of intersecting identities.

The way these forces interact with each other can often make us feel alone, helpless, and hopeless. In finding solidarity, in discussing the specifics of your struggle, I know that we will be better equipped to find new ways of relating to or fighting the problem.

I specifically studied LGBTQ affirmative therapy to combat the many ways the heteropatriarchy can make queer people feel like the problem. I always invite you to bring in your partner(s), friends, family members or anyone who is an important part of your life.

Who I work with:

The people I work with are, and will always be, the experts on their lives and experience. They have tried their hardest to figure out how to fight the Problem, before they ask for more support. I believe the Problem is the Problem, the client is never the problem.
