I'm Dr. Allycen Kurup, a licensed clinical psychologist based in Tacoma and licensed to practice virtually across Washington State. I specialize in LGBTQIA+-affirming care, transgender issues, trauma, and stress management, and I work with individuals and families. I earned my PhD in Clinical Psychological Science from Purdue University and have trained specifically in gender health and LGBTQ+-focused clinical settings. My passion is being a fierce guide and advocate for LGBTQ+ clients, but that is not solely what we need to focus on. I aim to provide an affirming space where LGBTQ+ folks feel inherently understood and can work on any issue.
