Kay Pickering

Hi! My name is Kay Pickering and I have been working as a therapist with Queer and Trans youth and young adults in the Bay Area since 2021. I currently offer individual therapy, gender affirming care support letter writing, and Master's Level ADHD & Autism Assessments. I specialize in working with clients who hold or are exploring queer, trans, and neurodivergent identities. Identities I personally hold include being Queer, Agender, White, and AuDHD. In the therapy room, I have been described as warm, curious, and supportive. I meet clients with curiosity and collaboration; I believe you are the expert in your own story and I am here as a support and guide to help you grow and achieve your goals. I utilize a narrative framework to gain a deep understanding of your unique journey and the stories that have formed along the way. I bring knowledge about neuro-, gender-, sexuality-, and relational- diversity to support you in exploring your identities and embracing your authentic self. I couple this exploration with teaching skills such as mindfulness, harm reduction, thought challenging, and radical acceptance to help you cope with life stressors, trauma, and other challenges.
