If you’re lying awake replaying conversations, overthinking what you said days or years ago, or carrying that constant “something isn’t right” feeling, you’re not alone. On the outside, you may look capable and put together. You get things done, people rely on you. On the inside, it’s often anxiety, burnout, overthinking, and a nervous system that rarely powers down. I work best with high-achieving women, mothers, helping professionals, LGBTQIA+ folks, people in non-traditional relationships, sensitive, creative, deep-feeling people, and young adults who are great at surviving life but exhausted by it. My clients are navigating

Danielle LaPorte asked the question best, “Can you remember who you were before the world told you who you should be?” Can you remember when you loved and accepted yourself unapologetically, and embraced all the things about you that make you unique? As we age, we gain knowledge from life experiences and through those experiences we can soar to greatness or we can break and lose sight of who we really are, and become someone we were never meant to be. When we become someone less than who we were meant to be we can begin to experience anxiety, depression, substance abuse, loss of relationships and functional distress.

Neurodivergence doesn't show up alone, it often shows up with trauma, anxiety, depression, and OCD. This cluster of challenges is the logical byproduct of growing up in an environment that doesn't understand or accommodate us. By the time we are adults, we usually believe there is something fundamentally wrong with us, and are stuck in patterns we don't know how to resolve. My practice and training is dedicated to supporting clients at the intersections of these challenges.

You’ve worked hard and achieved success, but your relationships feel distant, your career unfulfilling, and you can’t shake the feeling that you’re not where you’re meant to be. To others you look like you’ve got it all together, but on the inside something feels missing. Perhaps you identify with phrases like high-functioning depression or co-dependency or feeling stuck in repeating attachment dynamics. You’re ready for something deeper, something real. If you are interested in therapy that moves beyond coping skills to examine longstanding relational and identity patterns, you're in the right place.

Maybe you are the person who “has it all together,” but deep down is struggling with unprocessed childhood trauma, attachment wounds, relationship trauma, or boundary setting. You have quiet, yet core beliefs like “I’m not good enough.” You might be grieving the loss of a loved one, looking for ways to stay connected to them and feeling unseen by those around you. Maybe you are a teen or young adult experiencing the complex realities of growing up, navigating relationships, and deciding on what you want for your future. Or perhaps you just want a space to vent and express your feelings about the current state of the world.

Lesbian Therapists
What is lesbian-affirming therapy?
Lesbian-affirming therapy is a type of mental health support that fully affirms and reflects a client's lesbian identity. It is rooted in acceptance and does not attempt to change or question an individual's sexual orientation. In this type of therapy, clients work with a therapist who understands the unique experiences of lesbian women. This support is especially important, as research shows that lesbian individuals face higher rates of anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges compared to heterosexual populations. Lesbian-affirming therapy acknowledges that lesbian individuals may encounter specific stressors—such as coming out challenges, family rejection, workplace discrimination, and minority stress—that require specialized understanding and intervention. Lesbian-affirming therapists often work with clients across all age groups, from adolescents navigating their emerging identity to adults and older individuals addressing life transitions and relationship concerns. Many therapists also provide couples therapy for lesbian partners, helping them navigate relationship dynamics, communication challenges, or external stressors that may impact their relationship. It is important to note that therapists provide talk therapy and counseling services but do not prescribe medication—if medication is needed for conditions like depression or anxiety, they will coordinate care with a psychiatrist or primary care physician who can provide psychiatric medication management alongside therapeutic support.
Why should I see a lesbian therapist?
Some clients prefer to work with lesbian therapists who may bring personal lived experience to the therapeutic relationship. Choosing to work with a lesbian therapist can offer a deeper sense of connection, comfort, and shared understanding. A therapist who identifies as lesbian may require clients to give less background explanation—whether it’s about navigating romantic relationships, feeling unseen in certain spaces, or processing the impact of past relationship challenges. However, a non-lesbian therapist with strong training and a sincere commitment to LGBTQ+ affirmation can be equally effective. The most important factor is finding a therapist who respects your identity and fosters trust, safety, and understanding. However, a non-lesbian therapist with strong training and a sincere commitment to LGBTQ+ affirmation can be equally effective. The most important factor is finding a therapist who respects your identity and fosters trust, safety, and understanding. Additionally, many lesbian-affirming therapists can connect clients to other providers or community-based resources—such as bisexual support groups or LGBTQ+ organizations—that offer additional affirming spaces for connection.
How do I find a lesbian therapist?
The Psychology Today online directory is a helpful tool for finding lesbian-affirming therapists. You can use search filters to identify therapists who specialize in LGBTQ+ care and work specifically with bisexual clients. You can also filter by clinical specialties, therapeutic approaches, accepted insurance, session costs, and languages spoken to find the right fit. Look for profiles where therapists explicitly mention working with lesbian clients, or where they describe their approach as identity-affirming, inclusive, or trauma-informed. Many providers will also list their own identities, which may help you find someone with shared lived experience if that is important to you. You can also look for credentials or continuing education in areas such as LGBTQ+ mental health, trauma-informed care, and intersectionality.
