Night Owl Counseling – Welcome to the Nest
I’m so glad we’ve found each other here! My name is Tristan (pronouns they/he), and I hope you’ll feel at home here.
As an independent registered social worker, I offer virtual counseling and other supports for adults and youth aged 13+. As a white, neurodivergent, trans, genderqueer pagan with a delayed sleep cycle, I’ve created Night Owl Counseling to be the mutually accessible, anti-oppressive, culturally humble, trauma-informed, difference-affirming space I wished for as an employer for many years – and that I always wished I could access for my own needs.
Night Owl Counseling is now a two-queer operation – as of November 2026, my life-partner Bridget (they/them) has joined to provide peer support, writing/editing help, and academic consultation services! Their CV still staggers me after over a decade and their commitment to anti-oppressive ethics has helped shape and bolster my own. I’m excited to have them on board, & to provide a platform from which they can offer their diverse skillsets for your benefit.
If you’re looking for mental health support, life/academic coaching, help with navigating complex systems, a dedicated editor, or a plan for your ideal future… you’re in the right place.

(Like everything else in life, the website is beautifully imperfect, and change & growth happen at the pace of readiness. Check back every so often for updates, fresh resources, and brand new features!)
