Fai Knudson, LPC
Specialties: Adoptees, LGBTQIA+ issues, PoC/AAPI, Neurodivergence
It's hard to navigate a world that was built against your needs. My experiences as a queer, nonbinary, neurodivergent adoptee of color have informed my abolitionist practice in solidarity with those affected by interlocking systems of oppression: queer- and transphobia, ableism, racism, White supremacy, fatphobia, xenophobia, capitalism, classism, adoption, etc. I aim to help members of my community deconstruct the complex trauma inherent to such oppression, and explore what constitutes wellbeing amidst difficult material conditions.
With an anti-carceral, non-pathologizing, nuanced approach, we can create self-compassion and authentic ways of being beyond Western ideals, and explore discrepancies between intrinsic values and conditioned/learned patterns – while acknowledging the fact that they may have once helped you to survive. I'm also proud to provide surgery letters to trans folks.
