Jenae Eastman (they/them), MA, LMHCA
About:
Transformation is possible. I am here to support you in releasing what no longer serves you and in creating a life centered on what truly matters to you. I believe in your inherent capacity for healing and growth.
My approach is holistic and integrative, blending somatic and body-centered work, mindfulness, values exploration, strengths-based support, art therapy, experiential practices, and cognitive tools to support meaningful change. I work from a liberation-oriented, systemically informed, HAES aligned, and neurodivergent & gender-affirming lens. I am a kink & sex positive practitioner.
I often work with:
- complex trauma (CPTSD)
- relationships of all kinds, including non-normative relationship & family structures & relationships with the more than human world
- attachment
- gender & sexuality
- body image, body and fat acceptance & liberation
- embracing neurodivergency from a neurotype and neuro-affriming model
- anxiety & depression
- grief
Common experiences I support clients with:
- patterns you've tried to shift but have been difficult to change
- challenges in your relationships with others and yourself
- Intrusive or repetitive thoughts that are hard to turn off
- feeling emotionally overwhelmed, shut down and/or having a hard time regulating emotions
- being hard on yourself, experiencing an inner critical voice, or struggling with self-worth/esteem
- difficulty understanding your needs and how to navigate those as a neurodivergent person
- struggling with boundaries & relational communication
- wanting to access more joy and creativity in your life but find it hard to do so
- gender exploration
Systemic Lens
I view individual healing as interwoven with collective liberation. It's important to me to honor and acknowledge the many layers of experience that shape a person's life such as gender, disability, class, race and ethnicity, culture, history of colonization and/or immigration, body-size, and systemic oppression as meaningful parts of therapeutic work and healing.
