This podcast is free. It will stay free. That's intentional.

The Inked Therapist is a show about slow, embodied, liberation-rooted healing — made for queer and trans people, neurodivergent people, trauma survivors, and anyone who has ever suspected that the problem wasn't them, it was the framework they were handed.

Every episode is a deep dive: clinically grounded, politically honest, and delivered without mistaking detachment for professionalism. No optimization hacks. No hustle wellness. No pretending healing is tidier than it actually is.

Your support keeps the show going — and it does something more than that.

Every dollar donated here goes directly into a dedicated fund for expanded sliding scale and pro bono therapy services at Soma Roots Therapy. That means more people who need this kind of care — queer and trans folks, neurodivergent adults, people navigating complex trauma — can actually access it, regardless of what their insurance covers or what they can afford to pay.

Contributions help Soma Roots Therapy expand access to care by supporting additional sliding-scale and reduced-fee therapy spots for clients in Oregon and Washington. This is a voluntary contribution to our practice, not a charitable donation, and no goods or services are provided in return.

Liberation-rooted care shouldn't only be available to people who can pay full fee. This fund is one small way of putting that value where it belongs: in practice, not just in a mission statement.

If this show has given you something — a framework, a reframe, a moment of feeling less alone in your own experience — and you're in a position to give something back, this is where it goes.

Thank you for being here. Thank you for listening. And thank you for helping make this work more accessible to the people who need it most.
