Hi! I’m Resha. I’m a third-generation healing arts practitioner and licensed clinical social worker. I identify as a neuroqueer, mixed (Iraqi and Welsh), cisgender woman. My passion lies in helping individuals who identify as LGBTQ2IA+, neurodivergent, and/or mixed come into or back to themselves with compassion, self-understanding, and awe. My practice as a therapist weaves together my knowledge and training of Western psychotherapies, my life experiences, and my intuition. Modalities I use include relational psychodynamic psychotherapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), parts work, and somatic based interventions. I also use body sensations, images, humor, and metaphor as important tools and sources of information. My practice is kink & BDSM informed and affirming, as well as sex work allied. Within our current paradigm, I don't believe that therapy can be fully free from systems of oppression and harm. My involvement with Kintsugi Therapist Collective is an act of accountability in continuing to unlearn and develop in community.
I provide services virtually across California and in person in Northeast Los Angeles. You can find me at www.reshaaltai.com & https://www.psychologytoday.com/profile/920131
