Lucie Fielding, PhD, LMHC, LPC (she/they; elle/iel)

Lucie is a white, queer, trans misogyny-affected femme, and a therapist licensed in Virginia and Washington State. She received her MA in Counseling Psychology at Pacifica Graduate Institute (2018). Lucie also holds a PhD in French from Northwestern University (2008), where she specialized in histories of sexualities and erotic literature. Their background in literature and history attunes them to the many ways that image, metaphor, and cultural scripts shape and inform the narratives we carry with us as we move through the world as well as how these narratives inscribe themselves on our bodies. In addition to their work as a therapist, Lucie is a sex and kink educator and a workshop facilitator who has taught for a range of groups, organizations, universities, and agencies. They are also the author of Trans Sex: Clinical Approaches to Trans Sexualities and Erotic Embodiments (Routledge, 2021), which was shortlisted for a 2022 Lambda Literary Award (Lammy) in the Transgender-Nonfiction category and was awarded the 2022 AASECT Book Award (Book for Sexuality Professionals), the 2024 SSTAR Health Professionals Book Award, and the 2024 APA Division 44 Distinguished Book Award. A revised and expanded second edition of Trans Sex will be published in October 2025.
