The number of one-person households in western societies is growing. Rather than pathologizing or trying to fix this existence, I am interested in helping foster support for and acceptance of this circumstance or choice.

Many therapists have a blind spot around singlehood and childlessness — because they don't have lived experience, because they see this life path as problematic, or because they still assume that everyone will eventually marry and have children. Therapists with such a blind spot can cause inadvertent harm to single childless clients. For this reason I have compiled a list of therapists in the U.S. who specialize in working with the single childless experience.
