Welcome to Defiant Therapy! My name is Kitt, and I am an LGPC (Licensed Graduate Professional Counselor) providing therapy and counseling in the Baltimore, MD area. I use they/them pronouns, and I identify as trans and nonbinary. I am also a member of the kink and polyamory communities and have a background in sex education. I believe that therapy can provide a space for exploration, support, care, and change - both individually and interdependently. I practice therapy as a means to break down systems of oppression through individual and community empowerment, relationship building, and skills development. I offer individual, relationship, and family therapy in person at my shared office on York Rd and virtually through telehealth.
My goal as a therapist is to support you in discovering how you would like to live your life and be in relationship with others in ways that align with your values, allow you to be authentically open, and center your experience of joy. I particularly enjoy working with trans, nonbinary, and gender non-conforming clients to create meaningful and fulfilling relationships with themselves and others. I am skilled in trauma-informed and culturally-aware approaches to therapy, such as EMDR, IFS, and Relational-Cultural Therapy. I am excited to work with clients who are building open relationships, practicing solo polyamory, and engaging in D/s dynamics in play and relationships.
