Story of the Moth-Them
Illustrated buff tattooed trans masc moth-them with top surgery scars stands proudly above a book while they hold a large trans flag over their shoulder.
At Positive Space, therapy is rooted in community, not conformity.
When we went through our rebrand, we wanted a way to represent the diversity of our community of clients and therapists.
To create the Forest Friends, each of our team members worked with illustrator King Freddie to provide input on their design. We are so excited to share these illustrations with you, and most of all, we hope you see glimpses of yourself in them.
The Moth-Them was inspired by PSC Therapist and Clinical Supervisor, Sawyer Johnson [they/he]

In this blog post, Sawyer shares more of the Moth-Them's story and the symbols he wanted included in the illustration:
“I love cryptids! I know that a lot of queer and trans people have adopted mothman as an icon, mostly due to the lore of being misunderstood and vilified. Moththem is a trans t4t cryptid that is ready to stand for justice.
I hope clients see from Moth-them that you can be a weird little freak and still find your community of other cryptids.”

When you’re in a therapy space with me, I hope you begin to feel a sense of relationship with yourself that feels curious and compassionate.
I strive to be merely a guide in your journey of gentleness, where you can honour your own keen ability to navigate the ever-evolving landscape of your life.
