WHAT IS YOUR ROLE AT GATHER AND GROW OC?

First and foremost, I’m grateful to be a member of this budding community! I also hold the title of Co-Director which includes a little paperwork and lots of dream manifesting. Last but certainly not least, I’ll be seeing a limited number of clients through Gather and Grow, training our therapists and creating educational content to share.

SCHOOL AND TRAINING HISTORY

I completed my BA in Critical Gender Studies with a Focus in Sexuality at UC San Diego and my MA in Counseling Psychology at Argosy University. My traineeship hours combined work at the Orange County LGBT Center and in a private practice. I’ve had a solo private practice in Orange County since 2015.

INDIVIDUAL FOCUS

Working at the intersections of vulnerable communities I have found myself working with a lot of folks around journeys of complex trauma. I don’t assert that I have all the answers. Rather, I’d like to think of my work as a gentle reminder that we all have the innate ability to heal and are fully deserving of this healing.

WHAT EXCITES YOU ABOUT BEING PART OF THE GATHER AND GROW OC COMMUNITY?

I love being a therapist, but being a therapist in private practice can end up being solitary work. I have been really fortunate to be a part of several amazing communities over the course of my life. These fortunate experiences have led me to believe that there is no better healing vehicle and goal than to gather and grow with one another. Gather and Grow OC isn’t just a group practice or a business, it’s an intentional safe space and community, one for which I am beyond excited to help plant the seeds!

*my caseload is currently full but please reach out! I’d love to help you get scheduled with someone else in the practice that is a good fit!

The uncovering of one’s most authentic identity is a courageous journey, but it doesn’t happen in a vacuum. When one person shifts to take steps toward their truest self, it requires the entire system to evolve. Families in Transition is an upcoming support group for parents of gender expansive children facilitated by GGOC Co-Directors Jacqueline Plante (she/her) and Traci Medeiros [she/they], LMFT.
