Associates

Margey DeCuir

I offer supervision for Associate Marriage and Family Therapists in my private practice who are accruing hours towards licensure. To ensure they offer effective services to their clients, I meet with them weekly for clinical supervision.

Learn more about each Associate by clicking on their name. If they have their own website there will be a link to that in their profile.

“If you want to become whole, let yourself be partial. If you want to become straight, let yourself be crooked.” – The Tao-te Ching.

Fundamentally, I believe that my clients hold the expertise and wisdom required to enable their healing. As a clinician, I aim to maintain a safe, nonjudgmental container that allows a greater knowing and acceptance of yourself. We will work together, utilizing collaborative dialogue and integrative body-mind explorations to reveal and nurture those tender parts longing to be seen and heard.

I work dynamically with clients, with a driving passion for social justice and the liberation of all bodies. Founded in Body Psychotherapy of the Reichian tradition, my practice centers on self-acceptance and body-mind integration to allow a fluid experience of oneself. My therapeutic approaches include Hakomi, Kelemen, Relational, Intersubjective, Somatic, and mindfulness approaches to psychotherapy.

Identifying as an active member of the Queer, Kink/BDSM, and ethically non-monogamous communities, I am proud to serve folx identifying with diverse sexual and gender identities.

I pride myself on holding a safe space for LGBTQIA+ and all people to explore and better understand themselves as sexual human beings. 

Whether you are navigating your sexual orientation, relationship dynamics, or personal fetish, I am here for it. I have particular skill and knowledge in normalizing and supporting your exploration of non-monogamy, alternative relationships, queer identities, and BDSM/Kink interests. I have expertise in and experience with:

  • Sex and sexuality
  • Ethically non-monogamous/ polyamory relationships / 
  • Kink, BDSM, and SW communities
  • Formerly incarcerated individuals
  • Interpersonal and developmental trauma recovery
  • Identity definition and affirmation
  • Anxiety reduction
  • Emotional awareness
  • LGBTQIA community
  • Couples
  • Parenting and co-parenting

Beginning Somatic Therapy is taking a step towards yourself. Therapy is a choice for you, and only you, to make time for self-reflection, intentional connection, and body-mind integration and healing. The goal of therapy is not to be ‘fixed’ or to change who you are but to come to know yourself as you would a dear friend. Together we will explore, discover, and come to love your unique genius. 

If you feel ready, reach out today for a free 20-minute consultation.
