Destiny Ann Flowers-Fayad

This is a safe place to unpack, reflect, and grow—where your story and identity are honored, not judged. Because you don’t have to be perfect to deserve healing.

It’s easy to feel like you have to stay cheerful, avoid mistakes, and push through as if anything less is failure. That kind of pressure can leave us stuck in survival mode, disconnected from ourselves and others. I know what that feels like—I’ve been there too. It’s not your fault; we all do the best we can with what we’ve been taught.

In our work together, you’ll find a safe, nonjudgmental space to reflect, unpack the messages you’ve carried about yourself and the world, and begin to redefine your story. This process can open the door to greater self-compassion and deeper connection with others facing similar social and systemic challenges.

Our identities and histories shape how we see ourselves and how others respond to us. As a queer-identified therapist with lived experience of grief, trauma, depression, anxiety, and major life transitions, I know how meaningful it is to feel truly understood. My goal is to meet you with care, compassion, and respect—so you can move toward your goals and values at your own pace.

I create an affirming environment that is anti-oppressive and grounded in a Health at Every Size (HAES) framework. For trans and nonbinary clients, I honor the uniqueness of each transition journey and have received training in letter writing to support access to gender-affirming medical care, while recognizing that medical transition is only one of many possible ways to live authentically.

Reaching out for support can feel scary, but it’s also a powerful act of courage. You don’t have to be perfect to deserve healing—I’m here to walk beside you with understanding, encouragement, and support.
