Pyol Thompson, LCPC

Pyol Thompson is a non-binary, pansexual, fem-presenting queer multiracial therapist who is dedicated to supporting people who have been marginalized by society and culture. They focus on working with communities such as LGBTQ individuals, people involved in polyamory and kink, and those navigating life within multiracial families, offering understanding for the specific stresses that arise when identity and belonging are challenged.

Recognizing that living on the margins and experiencing family non-acceptance can intensify stress, Pyol creates a respectful, nonjudgmental environment where concerns can be expressed and validated. Their approach blends motivational talk therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and they are certified in basic Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing - EMDR - to address trauma, anxiety, depression, and grief.

Pyol aims to empower people to build lasting coping skills so that, over time, they require less therapeutic support. This change is framed as a collaborative process that unfolds through consistent effort and small, achievable steps. Their clinical work also encompasses trauma-focused methods and motivational interviewing to support recovery and growth.

Areas of clinical emphasis include stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, coping with life changes, LGBT concerns, family issues, sleep difficulties, self-esteem challenges, and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas involve BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture, chronic pain and illness, multicultural concerns, polyamory and non-monogamous relationships, post-traumatic stress, sexual assault and abuse, and women’s issues. Pyol holds an LCPC, which is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, and brings four years of clinical experience to their practice.
