Tess KilweinPhD
Nice to meet you
I am a clinical, health, and sport psychologist working with individuals from diverse identities and lived experiences. I address concerns like alcohol and drug use, LGBTQ+ experiences, sex and relationships, and sport/mental performance. I specialize in working with athletes, performers, healthcare and business professionals/executives, BIPOC, LGBTQIA2S+, and ENM populations. I integrate evidence-based approaches like ACT, CBT, and MI with affirming, feminist, liberation, multicultural, and trauma-focused techniques, tailoring care to each client’s unique needs and intersecting identities.
