LexY Dietrich, INTERN

Pronouns: She/they

I understand that life can be inherently stressful and, at times, deeply painful. My goal is to hold space for the good moments, the tough moments, and everything in between. In our sessions together, you can expect warmth, authenticity, and a non-judgmental human presence.

My therapeutic style is collaborative, gentle, and grounding. I believe that you are the expert of your own lived experience, and together, we’ll identify what healing looks like for you. My role is to provide trauma-informed support, guidance, and validation, while keeping you in the driver's seat of your own growth journey. Therapy moves at a pace that feels right for you, with plenty of room for authenticity and lightness along the way.

I identify as a neurodivergent, queer therapist, and I am passionate about providing affirming space for the LGBTQ2IA+ population. I come from a Puerto Rican household, and I recognize that our cultural identity is a big aspect of our well-being and how we move through the world.

As someone who has struggled to fit into the cultural status quo, it is important to me to honor, uplift, and validate the diverse experiences my clients bring into the room.

I tend to work well with clients who feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or disconnected from themselves - particularly neurodivergent folks, LGBTQ2IA+ individuals, and young adults.

I draw from several therapeutic modalities depending on each client’s needs. My work is

informed by mindfulness-based and somatic techniques to support nervous system regulation and grounding, along with a person-centered approach that centers collaboration, authenticity, and a supportive therapeutic relationship. I also love to incorporate expressive arts for clients who find it helpful.
