HELLO, MY NAME IS
OBSIDIAN XIU
(they/them)
📋 Lifecoach 📍Kansas City, MO 💬 English 🌐 Online
I aim to offer support as you navigate life's joys and challenges and create a pathway towards meeting your personal goals. As we work together, I hope to share tools and skills that encourage confidence in your own strengths and abilities and to hone in anywhere you'd like to see shifts. With me, counseling is a collaborative and creative process. My approach is always curiosity and non-judgment. Whether we are focusing on trauma, abuse, grief, interpersonal conflicts, or life changes and big decisions, I am here to encourage you as you find clarity and healing.
I am a patient and loving person and come from a trauma-informed care background as a survivor myself and through specific training as a certified trauma and resilience counselor. I am first gen chinese and mixed race, agender, chronically ill, a widow, and autistic. I work well with those who experience trauma, grief, gender feelings, chronic poverty and homelessness, queer relationships, open relationships, substance use or proximity to substance use, and much more. Please feel free to browse my website to find out more about me and my approach. Look forward to hearing from you!
