Toni Gary, MSEd
Licensed Professional Counselor
Finding the right therapist is like trying to find the right pair of jeans. Searching can be overwhelming, but the reward of finding what works is beyond measure. As your therapist, my practice (or fit) uses a combination of personal experiences and intentional study. In my work, I focus on emotion regulation, relationship difficulties, and multicultural identities. I am a sex-positive, kink-friendly therapist with a non-judgmental approach. Using person-centered techniques, the work we do will identify your strengths, aid in overcoming fears, and promote positive change in your life.
I believe that change happens from within, with considerations for environment and context. Even when someone is ready for change, it can be uncomfortable and scary, but also rewarding to the mind, body, and soul. When working with me, you can be sure that even when things get tough, I will help support and guide you. I am here to highlight and celebrate the differences of the individual, teach love in all its forms, and bring light into the lives of those around me.
