Mx. Lena Morgana is a graduate student at Antioch University Los Angeles, earning their MA in Clinical Psychology with a specialization in LGBT+ affirming therapy and pursuing dual-licensure as an MFT / PCC trainee. She is transfemme, queer, non-binary, and neurodivergent. Passionate about multi-faceted, humanistic, post-modern approaches to therapy, philosophy, and navigating life, she believes firmly in the importance of meeting people where they are, honoring and listening to their stories, and supporting and empowering each individual on their own terms, and in ways that are uniquely values-aligned for them. Socialized as male, Lena has been “out” in some form or another since she was a teenager and has experienced many challenges and gifts as part of inhabiting intersectional identity and sharing space with others, celebrating difference and experientially learning how communities can help to transform, heal, and expand themselves and individuals. She continues to uncover and explore the many dimensions of her identity in community. Lena possesses passionate experience and interest in LGBTQPIA2S+ realities, sex and sex-work, BDSM, kink, harm reduction, internal family systems theory, consensual relationship structures (polyamory, relationship anarchy, etc.), and narrative therapy, as well as mental wellness including depression, anxiety, personality formation, intergenerational and complex trauma, somatic regulation, substance and process addiction and recovery, attachment styles and theories of relationality, shadow work, and individuation work. She has spent most of her adult life engaged in daily, direct-action mutual aid and social justice work, and loves to care for animals (cats, dogs, iguanas, birds, small mammals, and more). Lena is also a poet, artist, and musician.
