Welcome to Safe Passage Therapy Services PLLC. I’m Ricky Spain, LCSW, and I’m glad you’re here. Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, particularly for individuals whose identities have been marginalized or ostracized and who are seeking a space where they feel seen, respected, and understood. My approach is warm, collaborative, and person-centered. In our work together, we’ll explore how your lived experiences, relationships, and environment have shaped your thoughts, emotions, and patterns today. I also pay close attention to the impact of systemic oppression and identity-based stress, and how these factors can show up in your day-to-day life and sense of self. Therapy with me is not about “fixing” you, but about understanding you more deeply, reconnecting with your strengths, and building tools that support the life you want to live. We’ll move at a pace that feels manageable and grounded, with space for reflection, insight, and healing along the way. If you’re looking for a therapist who brings compassion, curiosity, and cultural awareness into the room, I’d be honored to work with you.
