Dr. Caitlin Wolford Clevenger

Psychotherapy Services of Alabama

It's Pride Month, but you don't feel pride. Instead, you feel sad, anxious, or maybe even ashamed because you aren't feeling the way you "should." You want to feel at peace and accepted by others, but you also struggle to accept yourself. You may have gone back and forth, maybe even for years, about whether your sexual orientation or gender identity is "real," and whether it's worth all of the "trouble" to come out and live a more authentic life. You've tried to box these questions away and move on, but the box keeps reopening-asking you to reexamine it to be sure. These are all common experiences of people discovering themselves.

I help people open this box and find a sense of resolution and peace about their identity-whatever they may discover that to be. I specialize in helping individuals come to their own understanding of their sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression and how to navigate these aspects of their identity in their daily lives and relationships.

Many people experience therapists having agendas. My only agenda is for you to discover yourself and find peace and acceptance in whatever that may be. I remain neutral and aware that this is your life, and that there are many ways in which one may wish to live it. I look forward to hearing from you and discussing more about whether we are a good fit.
