S. M. (Fitz) Fitzgerald

Fitz [they-them] is a white, queer, non-binary, able-bodied clinical social worker, sex and gender therapist, and educator in Ypsilanti, MI. Fitz’s home for their clinical and educational work is their private practice Odyssey Sexual Health, PLLC. They approach their work from an anti-oppressive, multicultural feminist lens that centers transformative justice principles and aims to support sexually marginalized folks (particularly trans/non-binary/two-spirit folks) in exploring affirming, embodied, liberation-centered experiences of pleasure and sexual health. In addition to clinical work, Fitz is passionate about collaborating with like-minded colleagues to develop continuing education workshops for mental health and healthcare professionals with the hope of increasing access to affirming care for marginalized populations. Fitz is constantly seeking new sources of knowledge and growth and are committed to life-long anti-racism work.

Fitz received their Master’s in Social Work from the University of Michigan in 2013 and completed a Post-Masters Clinical Fellowship at the University of California Berkeley in 2014. They were a part of the 2015 cohort of The University of Michigan’s Sexual Health Certificate program and became an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist in 2019. In addition to their CE workshops, Fitz is a recurring guest lecturer at The University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and has provided trainings on exploring sexual pleasure at Eastern Michigan University.
