Hi?

I'm here to reengage with professional and peer-based care for my mental health.

I'm a divorced, 57yo, cishet male of color with a 14yo trans child. Until recently, I had a 20+ year career as a professional creative in the ad/mktg/brand biz.

I'm coming off a period of intense distress developed over the past year-and-a-half due to unemployment, depleted finances/savings, loss of car, relationship challenges, physical health issues, and, as the saying goes, "much, much more!"

Some of the ongoing specifics that underlie my … dis-ease:

• 8 of 10 on the ACEs scale
• Clinical Depression
• Anxiety Disorders (Social + GAD)
• Substance Use Disorders (alcohol + other drugs, 27 years clean + sober as of 9/1/24)
• High Functioning Autism (late Dx)
• ADHD (the AD part, late Dx)
• PTSD (late Dx)
  
  And, FWIW
• MS (heat sensitivity in a warming world—my skin, the body's largest breathing organ, feels like it’s suffocating sometimes)
• Eczema (annually recurring full body, including face—in addition to insatiable itching it feels like wool is inside my skin)
