Roanoke Therapists specializing in LGBTQ Issues

Christina Walthers

We queer folks navigate the world differently from cis-het individuals, which comes with both unique challenges and profound beauty. While I work with people of all identities, my specialty lies in supporting queer, trans, and gender-diverse individuals (LGBTQIA+ folks). I'm dedicated to creating a safe, affirming, and empowering space, where you can gain insight, get in touch with your emotions, and connect with your authentic self, free from fear or judgement.

Kate Upton

You're the expert on your life and goals—it’s my job to provide the help, insight, and encouragement you need to get there. I work with clients to identify the negative thought patterns and the underlying beliefs causing difficult emotional experiences such as anxiety or depression, replacing them with more adaptive and functional thoughts and coping skills. I love working with individuals who are ready to dive in and see change in this way.

Katherine Twaddle

I have specific interests in working with the LGBTQIA+ community, neurodivergent community, adolescents, providing trauma focused care, and providing couples therapy. I invest in helping clients understand the power of their own healing, tapping into their inner strengths, and in building trust with their true self. My approach to therapy is humanistic and collaborative, with an investment in providing empathetic and holistic care.

Laura McMaster

You’re a go-getter. You believe that if there is a way to work your way out of a problem, then defining those steps will get you out of this slump, worry, and recurring conflict. A creeping sense of unease can look like fear, sleeplessness, dissatisfaction, or sadness coupled with the stress of responsibilities you already have. Your upset might manifest as frequent arguing with your partner or emotional numbing. You want to figure this thing out, so you can all get back to normal.

David Miller

I don't really have a particular population I focus on. I want to work with everybody! That said, I have a great deal of experience with adults with persistent and severe mental illness, adolescents with oppositional and defiant behavior, and clients seeking help from their local psychiatrist. I start every session with "Tell me what's going on with you. What can I do to help?" Then we go from there. I end every session with "Was that helpful?" I haven't heard "No" yet.

Ali Siewert

Being human is often tough. Sometimes we lose our way and can feel stuck and overwhelmed. Sometimes we would like to change parts of our lives or ourselves but don’t know how. Therapy can be an empowering way to promote healing, growth, and wellness. Often, we initially seek treatment to address a specific concern and then begin to uncover other areas of our lives in which we want to make meaningful change. My goal is for this process to feel supportive, affirming, and appropriately challenging.

Kelsey Smith

Often, life's deepest moments are intertwined with the relationships we form; and some of life's biggest struggles result from barriers to those connections. Whether it's trauma, anger management, codependence, isolation, suicidality or something else - you and I can tackle it together. Facing challenges in the safe container of the therapeutic environment helps build resilience to face whatever life tosses your way.

You deserve healing and happiness. You deserve a sense of well-being and meaning in your life. Have you spent too long in an endless cycle of feeling that you are not worthy?

You want to believe that change is possible. I am here to help. With support and encouragement, change IS possible.

Elizabeth Bryant

Relationships can be a rollercoaster of emotions, leaving you at times feeling extremely connected and in sync, and at other times feeling like you are on two different planets. Often, we have genuine intentions but keep getting stuck in negative communication patterns. While I work with ALL couples and relationships I work predominately with LGBTQIA+ relationships. If you are looking for a new way forward together but unsure where to start the healing you have come to the right place.

Currently, my practice focuses on anxiety, depression, relationships, school/work stress, trauma, disordered eating/body image issues, and other health concerns (e.g., sleep problems, adjusting to medical diagnoses, etc.). I also have specialized training and experience in treating substance abuse. I see teens as well as adults, and many of my patients are part of the LGBTQ+ community.

Beth Thomas

Have you ever felt that forming and maintaining relationships, engaging in consistent self-care, or navigating everyday "adulting" feels more challenging for you than those around you? Do you struggle to “be yourself” or even understand what that truly looks like? Are you caught in the feeling of being either “too much” or “not enough?” If you answered yes to any of those questions, we could be a good fit!

Vince Allen, Jr.

As a Black man, I understand the unique experiences of Black men in America and the ways in which these experiences contribute to mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety and stress. I also recognize that Black men are diverse and are not a monolith. With this in mind, I believe that Black men deserve care that understands both the uniqueness and diversity of Black men’s experiences, while also having a cultural awareness of Black men’s mental health needs.

I center the voices of Black folx, people of color, LGBQIA+, trans, and gender-expansive people struggling with anxiety, depression, identity exploration, religious issues, PTSD & Trauma, and racial & oppression-based stress. I also pride myself on helping nontraditional and traditional couples (polyamorous, monogamous, consensual nonmonogamy, and Kinky/BDSM communities) learn to communicate healthily and better connect with their partners.
