Ames Gersten
Supervisee in Social Work (MSW)
When identity and culture are inseparable from your mental health, surface-level therapy won’t cut it. You might be questioning inherited expectations, internalized norms, or what belonging has cost you. Work with Ames centers liberation, depth, and affirming the full complexity of who you are.
Ames is Jewish nonbinary clinician who works collaboratively with trans and autistic people who think and feel deeply, offering affirming, liberation-oriented care. Their work centers on decolonizing identity and internalized norms, grounded in lived experience and cultural humility.
