Brendan Yukins
I am a social worker and current PhD Student in Couple and Family Therapy at Adler University. The Expansive Group is a queer sex-therapy practice where I work as a staff therapist full-time. My specialities are sexual and intimate partner violence. I work with all families and romantic relationships, including chosen family, polycules, families with sex worker members, families with trans & nonbinary members, and any other family structure. Clients working with me can expect a trauma-informed, experiential approach to healing, but also have access to Nature-based therapy approaches, as I am a board member of the American Horticultural Therapy Association.
