Makael White is a dedicated Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT, ATR, MA, CIMHP, C-DBT) who specializes in working with LGBTQIA+ families, individuals, and relationships. With a focus on trauma, PTSD, and relationship issues, Makael is particularly adept at helping clients navigate the complexities of being queer or transgender, managing neurodivergence, and addressing chronic illnesses and degenerative disorders. Their therapeutic approach includes a blend of Expressive Arts, Culturally Sensitive practices, and Positive Psychology, allowing for a holistic exploration of each client's unique experiences. As a Relational Art Therapist, Makael utilizes both verbal and non-verbal methods to foster deeper connections and insights, enabling clients to confront their natural defenses. Through creative expression—often starting with simple stick figures or scribbles—clients can bypass barriers to vulnerability and engage with their emotions authentically. Recognizing that life can be challenging, Makael leverages their lived experiences, education, and up-to-date research to support clients as experts in their own lives. Together, they create a team dynamic, empowering individuals to tackle their challenges with strength and hope.
