Centering the needs of QTBIPOC therapy-seekers, this workshop aims to help you to learn more about accessing and navigating therapy, the green and red flags of a therapist, and how to ask the right questions to find the right fit for you.

Our workshop presenter will be Kulky Nakai Psy.D. LP (they/them/theirs), a therapist practicing with Integrative Empowerment Group PLLC. In their work, they bring a creative, synergistic, and vibrant energy to the therapy room. They earned their doctorate in clinical psychology at Adler University in Chicago, IL and their masters in counseling psychology at Argosy University in San Diego, CA. Identifying as a fat and tattooed queer femme of color, Kulky has also experienced marginalization, discrimination, and oppression for these intersecting identities throughout their life. They understand the deep impact that prejudice and stigma has on one’s mental health and wellbeing, and they are committed to socio-political and cultural change in efforts towards social justice and equality. After years of professional training and personal exploration, they are not only fulfilling their calling but are also building their legacy. Accordingly, Kulky is intentional about helping to cultivate meaningful, healing, and transformative therapeutic relationships so that their clients may become their own compassionate caregiver and agent of change to live an authentic, value-guided, and worthwhile life.
