Hi there—I'm Dr. Stacee Reicherzer (she/her), a transgender therapist specializing in trauma, anxiety, OCD, and identity development for LGBTQ+ adults and the people who love us.

Many of my clients are navigating painful histories that show up as intrusive thoughts, panic, compulsive behaviors, or emotional numbness. Some are struggling with obsessive fears and mental rituals that make daily life feel exhausting. Whether you're dealing with trauma-based anxiety, obsessive-compulsive cycles, or a mix of both, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to navigate this alone.

My approach is warm, affirming, and trauma-informed. I integrate EMDR with ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) and other evidence-based strategies to support clients dealing with OCD, complex PTSD, and chronic shame. Sessions are collaborative and attuned—you’ll never feel rushed or reduced to a diagnosis.

I specialize in working with queer and trans adults, survivors of complex trauma (including medical trauma), and individuals navigating anxiety tied to identity, safety, and belonging. My work with OCD includes contamination fears, intrusive harm or sexual thoughts, religious scrupulosity, and perfectionism—often themes deeply rooted in early experiences of fear or control.

I hold a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision, am EMDR-Certified, and have served the LGBTQ+ community for over two decades. I'm licensed in both Texas and Illinois and offer virtual sessions to clients across both states. If you're ready for real healing—not just coping—I’d be honored to support your journey.

Svetlana Kutikova is a LPC, who has been practicing since the Fall of 2022. She graduated with her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Hunter College in New York City, in 2014. After four and a half years working as an ABA Therapist, she went back to school to obtain her Master’s in Clinical Mental Health, from Kean University, in New Jersey. Svetlana believes that each person is a unique individual, with a unique set of concerns.

Therapy with me is collaborative and flexible. I draw on CBT, ERP, IFS, and trauma-informed approaches — not as rigid protocols, but as tools I adapt to what you need. Some sessions are structured skill-building; others trace how your past shapes your present. I'll help you reconnect with your instincts and move toward more freedom and joy.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with my Ph.D. in Psychology. I love working with clients from a variety of backgrounds and am known for taking on "tough cases." I have years of experience helping people through traumatic events including severe cases of posttraumatic stress disorder. I also worked for many years at an inpatient addiction rehabilitation facility, so I am well equipped to help people on the road to recovery.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Oregon and Texas providing teletherapy to clients. I graduated from Portland State University with a Master’s in Social Work and have pursued extensive post-graduate training in trauma treatment, couples counseling, and ACT/DBT models. I specialize in working with folks that struggle with anxiety, depression, developmental or acute trauma, family of origin concerns, LGBTQIIA+ issues, obsessive thinking, and stress management.

A former Marine Corps veteran spouse, Katherine brings lived experience and deep cultural understanding to her work. She has served across the DoD, VA, nonprofit, and civilian sectors, providing high-level clinical care, consultation, and program leadership.

She is trained in Brainspotting, IFS-informed work, and trauma-responsive care, and has provided trainings for service members, clinicians, and community providers on PTSD, MST, suicide prevention, and Brainspotting.

Today, Katherine consults with the SAFE Project’s SAFE Veterans initiative and teaches caregiver wellness classes with Semper Fi & America’s Fund, bringing compassionate, evidence-based, culturally grounded care to military members, veterans, first responders, caregivers, and their families.

My passion as a counselor stems from the belief that we are unique, resilient human beings with the ability to conquer change and heal if we explore within. My goal as a therapist it to help facilitate this personal growth and guide individuals towards finding meaning as well as purpose in their lives.

I have been lucky enough to work in a variety of treatment settings including residential, partial hospitalization, outpatient, as well as intensive outpatient.
