Malakai Watkins is a third-year Marriage & Family Therapist Student Trainee specializing in sex therapy. Guided by a disability justice framework that prioritizes access, self-determination, and an expectation of difference, I approach healing with a holistic perspective. Embracing diverse therapy styles, I believe in the power of incorporating spirituality, nature, art, music, and drama therapy, recognizing that talk therapy alone may not encompass the full spectrum of healing. Emphasizing the importance of community in the therapeutic process, I understand that individual growth is just one aspect of the broader journey toward liberation. In the words of Alexis Pauline Gumbs, "Maybe it’s not so much about being recognized as who we are, it is about staying together, feeding each other, knowing where we are, and moving through." This philosophy underscores my commitment to fostering a supportive and inclusive therapeutic environment for all individuals.
