Your Clinician: audrey lareau (fae/she/they)

audrey lareau (fae/she/they) is a graduate student at Naropa University pursuing a degree in Mindfulness-Based Transpersonal Psychology . audrey is a student intern with Access to Doorways, our sister non-profit and receiving supervision from Courtney Watson (#98943). Fae identifies as a non-melanated Jewish witch and practicing animist. With the awareness of the long overdue racial reckoning that is taking root in the so-called “western world”, audrey welcomes clients who are ready to dismantle systems of white-bodied supremacy, and offers guidance and support to fellow dreamers, activists, witches, and those working on breaking free of their societal and familial conditioning to reconnect with their vibrant authentic selves. Inspired by the words of Elizabeth Ngyun, “queer, for many folks, is about resistance- resisting dominant culture’s ideas of ‘normal’, rejoicing in transgression, celebrating the margins, reveling in differences, blessing ourselves,” audrey works with those who are ready to dissolve the disconnection and fear-based reality we were socialized into by Empire and support those seeking to tap into and expand this felt sense of queerness. She believes that nature connection is a birthright and welcomes clients wanting to grow their relationships with the more-than-human world.  audrey is looking forward to working in the realms of ecopsychology, social justice, liberation psychology, gestalt, and dreamwork. She understands dreams as an entry into expanded states of consciousness where one can access insights for the personal and collective, as well as commune with ancestors, spirits, and non-human beings. Honoring the therapeutic relationship as sacred, audrey holds a heartfelt desire to support clients in reconnecting to their wholeness and finding self acceptance, joy, expansion, and healing through the process of attunement, sharing, and energetic witnessing. Through empathetic listening, they will work collaboratively with you to determine the pace and style of therapeutic sessions so you will feel safe and seen.
