Philip Stasko

I’m a non-binary, queer, and gay advanced clinical intern earning my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. My practice is grounded in a person-centered and relational approach that centers genuine human connection. I aim to provide a safe place for you to explore yourself and your relationships with curiosity and openness. I am deeply influenced by experiential modalities like Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), mindfulness, and parts work, which can help us get closer to our felt experiences and move toward more secure connections with ourselves and others.

I’m also deeply influenced by Black feminist thinkers like bell hooks, Audre Lorde, and adrienne maree brown. I provide a space to unpack internal cultural messages and move toward greater personal freedom and interconnectedness. I’m especially committed to supporting queer people, those in the service and sex work industries, those exploring non-monogamy, and those recovering from religious trauma.

My goal is to make therapy with me feel like a warm and grounded partnership where your lived experience is the primary guide. I operate from a strengths-based perspective, focusing on the resilience and wisdom you already possess. This is a space where you can slow down and explore aspects of yourself related to relationships, longings, purpose, spirituality, sexuality, or gender.
