Break The Frame Psychotherapy is a neuroaffirming, trauma-informed practice for people who’ve never quite fit the mold—and are done trying to. We specialize in working with neurodivergent, queer, chronically ill, and complex humans, offering therapy that challenges oppressive systems rather than pathologizing difference. Using integrative approaches like EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, and IFS, we help clients reconnect with their bodies, trust their knowing, and build lives that actually work for them—not just look good on paper.
