LGBTQ+ Therapists in Atlanta, GA

I am a counselor specializing in working with the LGBT community, actors and those in media and production. Are you living in the present moment or always worried about the future or dwelling in the past? Are you a harsh self critic? I choose to see myself as a work in progress that I try not to judge, but to treat with compassionate acceptance. Accepting oneself for who one is...in this present moment, is they key to emotional balance and a fulfilling life. Still, we can strive for our greatest potential by recognizing negative patterns in our lives and seeking change and healthy balance. For more details: www.NowTherapy.com

My areas of clinical focus are around men's issues and with members of the LGBTQ community. I'm committed to providing a safe and affirming environment where you can process your feelings, no matter how difficult or uncomfortable. I'm not the kind of psychologist who sits silently and nods while you do all the work. I'm an active therapist and work collaboratively to help you increase self-awareness and identify a healthier path. Additionally, I draw on different theoretical approaches to adapt my work to your needs, but work primarily from a relational psychodynamic perspective.

Sometimes we just need to be heard. My passion lies in sitting with you through your current challenges, centering your lived experiences, and building your toolbox for honoring and moving through your emotions. You deserve kindness, warmth, and a loving relationship with yourself. As a counselor, I acknowledge the way we learn to navigate the world is impacted by the systems we live in and endure, the messaging we receive, and the unique identities we hold and find ourselves growing into. I identify as a queer , Puerto Rican/Latinx woman. I also have lived experience with kink, non-monogamy, and alternative spiritualities.

I enjoy working with a wide range of adolescents and adults, in particular those in the LGBTQIA community who are seeking to understand and accept themselves. This process involves self-discovery, understanding and self-acceptance. We can work together through issues such as shame, guilt, low self - esteem, school bullying, verbal/physical abuse, discrimination and the lack of family and societal support. We can also navigate possible conflicts of spirituality and personal values with sexual orientation/gender identity.

Relationships can be extra complicated for LGBTQ people. You may have grown up feeling family, friends, or community didn’t understand you, or maybe you experienced outright rejection. You probably didn’t get to date in high school, and most of us don’t grow up with mentors who can help us navigate the world of dating. Whether you’re having trouble making a relationship work or you’re in a long-term relationship that just doesn’t feel fulfilling, I can help you find or build a strong relationship.

In my work, I center the voices of those with minoritized/oppressed identities (e.g., Black people, People of Color, LGBTQIA +, trans , gender-expansive people, and people in nontraditional relationship configurations). I have extensive experience working with adults struggling with anxiety, depression, identity exploration (ethnic, racial, gender, and/or sexual identity), intersectionality, PTSD & Trauma, racial & oppression-based traumatic stress, and relationship concerns. I am also comfortable integrating religion/spirituality into our therapeutic work. My therapeutic sweet-spot is working with Q+BIPOC individuals and couples.

Have you found yourself “quiet quitting” from your own life? Have you lost sight of your meaning and purpose, unable to remember what drives you? Perhaps you are struggling with your self worth or identity. You’ve heard therapy can help, but you aren’t sure where to begin. How do I fit this into my very busy life?! How do I identify a therapist that aligns with the way I see the world?

If these are the questions you've been asking, you've come to the right place. I'm so glad you're here.

Are you feeling depressed? anxious? Perhaps like you are not living to your best potential? As a psychotherapist, I help people create a safe space whereby building a relationship, unraveling issues, demystifying oneself, voicing hopes and dreams, and developing wisdom and insight, one can emerge from (and exist in) the forest that is life with a deeper understanding of how to navigate oneself and the world around us. It is my philosophy that great psychotherapy not only addresses the issues on the table, but also guides one towards greater overall life fulfillment.
