Mary Wesley
Clients call me the "Vigilante Therapist" because I'll go “Above and beyond to help where others won’t” by looking at the full picture and aiming to eliminate the barriers people face to accessing supports they seek. I'm devoted to providing safe, affirming tele-therapy for LGBTQIA+* youth** and adults in OH and MI (at the time of service). I also specialize in providing referral letters for Gender Affirming Services for all ages. I am a therapist who is kink, sex worker, and poly-affirming and gives back to my community by volunteering with various LGBTQIA+* organizations. I also partner with multiple harm reduction programs to provide alternative access to safe-use supplies and naloxone. I recognize the trauma caused by our typical public 'safety' systems and the importance of focusing on safer alternatives whenever possible. I acknowledge that you are the expert on you. I recognize my privilege as a white cis female and am mindful of biases and welcome correction and constructive feedback. I am committed to listening to my community and adapting accordingly to provide the safest care possible. I'm a queer neuro-spicy, female, with a deeply personal connection to the Trans community. I am laid back and go with the flow. I wear my tattoos, piercings, and rainbows with pride and am known to curse like a sailor. I also habitually am unapologetically outspoken and loud when up against injustice. My clients will tell you that I am not your average therapist. Above and beyond all else I love what I do. *Our 2S friends are absolutely welcome with open arms. However I am in the process of learning more about your unique beauty so that I may serve you with the level of competence that every one deserves.
