Hi, I’m Dr. Thomas “Stacy” Helton, PhD in Psychology with an emphasis on LGBTQ+ studies. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia and Oregon, offering virtual sessions. I work primarily with LGBTQ+ clients, but I am open to anyone with alternative lifestyles.
I take Virginia Satir's wisdom to heart: "The most basic human need is the need to understand and be understood. The best way to understand people is to listen to them." This philosophy guides my practice, ensuring I listen with empathy and genuine understanding.
When we talk, I keep it real and direct, but never judgmental. I listen closely, reflect what I hear, and ask questions that help you uncover your own answers. My goal is to make our conversations feel natural and collaborative—like you’re thinking out loud with someone who genuinely understands and supports you.
