We live at the intersections of the lives we have been placed into and the lives we would like to see manifest for ourselves. Each of us holds privilege and oppression in our bones. It is how we build up the muscles around those bones that allows us to walk through this world with kindness, consciousness, and agency. Stop focusing on the symptoms. These pathologies made visible are appropriate reactions to inappropriate situations. Our depression, anxiety, inability to move, tendencies to self-harm, and the countless other ways we funnel insitutionalized violence inwards on ourselves and our intimate relationships are a result of an often cruel and dispassionate world. A world that does not honor or hold space for the unique journeys of our beautiful and diverse bodies, sophisticated minds, gentle hearts, and divine spirits.

Gentle reminder: you are resilient. 💛

During tough times, our minds can feel overwhelmed—and that's okay. It's not a sign of weakness; it's part of being human.

But here's the truth: you are stronger than you think. Every challenge you've faced, every moment you've pushed through, has built the resilience that lives within you today. 💪✨

Resilience isn't about never struggling—it's about continuing to move forward, even when it's hard. It's about showing up for yourself, one step at a time.

And remember: you don't have to do this alone. Support is always available, whether that's through therapy, community, loved ones, or simply giving yourself permission to rest and heal.

You are resilient. You are worthy. You are enough. 🌿

If you're going through a tough time and need support, I'm here. Reach out anytime. 💛

💫 You don’t need to do everything at once. You just need to do one thing, and then the next. Healing and change are built in moments, not leaps.

✨ Gentle reminder: Let’s not be overwhelmed into inaction.

Looking to fill your queer cup (and rage) with some seasonal reads? 📚✨

Here’s my spooky reading list for 2025, centered on queer stories, unsettling atmospheres, cozy queer utopias, and the kind of righteous anger that fuels revolution.

Whether you're into gothic horror, supernatural thrillers, romance, or eerie speculative fiction—these books will haunt you in the best way possible. 🖤🔥

These titles celebrate queer resilience, families of choice, rebellion, and the power of reclaiming our narratives—even in the shadows.

Hey there! 👋 I'm so glad you're here.
Whether you're new to my page or have been following along for a while, I wanted to take a moment to reintroduce myself and share how I can support you.

I'm Traci Medeiros (she/they), a licensed therapist, speaker, coach, and Educational Director at Gather & Grow OC. I'm passionate about creating affirming, inclusive spaces where folx can explore their authentic selves and build the relationships and lives they deserve.

Here's what I specialize in:
💛 LGBTQ+ Identity & Queer Affirmation – Supporting queer, trans, and gender-expansive individuals in navigating identity, coming out, and living authentically.
💛 BDSM & Kink-Affirming Therapy – Creating a shame-free space to explore kink, consent, power dynamics, and sexual wellness.
💛 Relationship Therapy – Working with individuals, couples, and polyamorous/ENM folx to build healthy communication, trust, and connection.
💛 POC Lived Experiences – Centering the unique experiences of BIPOC folx, including racialized trauma, cultural identity, and intersectionality.
💛 Intergenerational Trauma – Healing the wounds passed down through generations and reclaiming your narrative.
💛 Mind-Body Connection – Integrating somatic practices to help you reconnect with your body, release trauma, and find grounding.

My approach is rooted in compassion, liberation, and the belief that you are the expert of your own experience. I'm here to walk alongside you as you heal, grow, and step into your power. ✨

If you're ready to take the next step—or if you know someone who could benefit from support—I'd be honored to work with you.
