Harry Dixon, MA, LMHC, LPCC, LPC, CST

Hi I’m Harry Dixon! I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Washington (LH60684311) and New York (015648), a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in California (LPCC#4340), a Licensed Professional Counselor in Oregon (C8199), and a AASECT Certified Sex Therapist. I specialize in working with gay, queer, Asian American and BIPOC clients and their unique mental health and sexual health needs.

I’m here for the clients who feel like they don’t connect to other therapists due cultural barriers. I believe therapy works best when the relationship between the client and counselor is secure and trusting. Clients deserve to enter a therapy space where they can be themselves from the outset, and that is what I strive to provide. You don’t have to code switch or educate me on your life or culture, I get it. I don’t ask my clients to explain their life just tell me how you live it. I share many of the identities that my clients have and I share my earned wisdom and years of expertise with my LGBTQ+ and BIPOC clients. The highest compliment that I can receive is “wow, you get it”.

I’m no stranger to the stresses to gay Asian men. Growing up with Korean immigrant parents who were active in a religiously conservative Presbyterian church, learning how to be gay and my true, authentic self was a hard fought and worthwhile journey that informs how I apply therapy and healing. I strive to ensure that everyone who comes to me feels heard, validated, and accepted.

I’m here to help you make sense of your life, clarify what matters to you, and help you make choices that fit into how you want to live your life. I’m not here to judge, I’m here to provide a compassionate and warm presence to help you feel less shame and more fulfillment. You deserve to be empowered and liberated from oppressive systems.

Queer Sex Therapy

Let’s face it, the sex education we receive when we’re young is awful and doesn’t set us up for success. Often it is abstinence or fear based and designed to shame and guilt us about a beautiful part of the human experience. My goal is to help unburden you from unnecessary guilt, shame, and emotional suffering related to sex, sexuality, and eroticism. I aim to help you find ways to have a fulfilling and fun sex life.

Supervision
I view supervision as an opportunity to help clinicians learn and grow to be the best versions of themselves. Supervision is a great way to practice self-care, develop one's professional identity, and discussed ways to better help the populations we serve. As a minority in the counseling world, I understand the challenges of finding a supervisor with the right blend of cultural awareness and clinical expertise. I look forward to being your supervisor.

He is currently approved to supervise associates in California and Washington.
