Our Mission
Self Made Psychology operates with the central goal of providing competent, affirming care from a lens of lived experience and deep clinical training. As queer, trans, and neurodivergent-affirming providers, we offer care from a place of true acceptance and alignment with your individual and career-specific goals.
Born out of a lack of affirming care for particular members of our communities, Laurel Wright started Self Made Psychology to support the very community they came from.
At Self Made Psychology, we aim to close the gap in mental healthcare and carving a self-made space for our community.
