Smyrna Therapists specializing in LGBTQ Issues

Kirk Shepard

Whether you are seeking relief from anxiety, depression, grief, loss, or striving for emotional regulation.My clients often face challenges related to identity and belonging. They may feel misunderstood or marginalized due to their queer, creative, or unconventional lifestyles. Many are grappling with anxiety and stress stemming from a chaotic climate future and uncertain political landscape. They might also experience a sense of existential uncertainty, questioning meaning and purpose in life.

Melissa Rogel

My practice is focused on helping unique individuals understand and accept themselves and engage in healthy relationships while still maintaining individuality. I work with those who don’t always feel like they fit in a box or align with society’s expectations regarding their relationships, career, and personal pursuits. My areas of specialty include: anxiety, religious trauma, relationship issues, self-esteem, chronic illness, and issues specific to creatives and highly sensitive people.

Dr. Gina Innocente

Our clients often have some significant challenges to overcome - depression, anxiety, problems with romantic partners or family, life changes, or internal struggles. And any trauma or loss doesn’t help. While therapy can mean confronting difficult feelings, it can also be a space for curiosity, creativity, and self-discovery, which many of our clients have described as rewarding and, believe it or not, exciting and fun. We welcome children and teens, adults, couples, and families.

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.

Sami Morris

I work with adult individuals and couples/partnered relationships from various backgrounds. I work with clients who have experienced trauma (sexual or non-sexual), are dealing with life transitions, issues regarding sexuality and sensuality, improving emotional awareness, and people wanting to improve/enhance their relationships. While I do work with clients from all backgrounds, I try to make space for those within the kink/BDSM, polyamorous and ENM, and LGBTQIA+ communities.

I work predominantly with women and LGBTQIA+ people (and couples) working through relational issues & trauma and who are wanting to explore the origins of their distress.

If you have emotions or mental health symptoms that are derailing your life; are a people-pleasing, perfectionist or avoidant; feel like you’re not good enough; and/or wanting to make some changes working with me may be a great option! I work with folks who are trying out new ways of thinking, connecting to their wisdom, and focusing on their healing. I work with couples who want to strengthen communication skills, emotional support, and secure attachment with each other.

Noor Masri

Are you searching for a culturally sensitive therapist? I am someone who integrates different therapeutic approaches and tailors to each individual's wants and needs.

Evan Harris

Are you afraid that your proclivities towards kink or polyamory/ethical non-monogamy are due to trauma? I would almost certainly disagree. Are you afraid that if you see a therapist for your trauma they'll attribute your kinkiness or poly-ness to that trauma? I won't. Ever. Imagine a life without anxiety, inexplicable anger, deep sadness, or panic attacks. You're feeling like there must be a better way to live; I can help you find it.

Online Therapy

Tiffany Sankofa

My clients are people of all ages from a wide variety of cultural, socioeconomic, faith and gender backgrounds who want to end the control that anxiety and trauma have had in their lives. If you’re looking for concrete tools that work and a supportive environment where you can learn and unlearn, creating a better life for yourself and your loved ones, let’s talk today. Why wait?

Rebecca (Rowan) Levy

It may seem that the world is throwing you more than you can practically or emotionally handle. I provide therapy individuals and couples who may be feeling overwhelmed, uncertain that they are on the right track, or concerned with how others perceive them. I have often worked with people who are distrusting of their gut, or feel like they don't fit in.

Have you been looking for support in Maryland for teletherapy? Would you like to have someone who intimately understands the queer experience, being gender diverse, as you do your work? I am open to supporting all kinds of folx, but have a sweetspot for working with LGTBTQIA+ folx. My clients are open to experimenting towards what works, thru talking, cooking, writing, meditating, drawing, dancing, whatever helps get you there! I hope I can be a provider of safe and meaningful work for you!

Robin DeBates

Geeks, nerds, hackers, burners, and makers are my specialty! Tired of having a therapist roll their eyes when you talk about gaming? Over it trying to explain that Discord is a chat server and not a state of disharmony? Feeling finished with people who don't understand online friendships are valid social support? You deserve a therapist who gets you in all of your delightful nerdiness and awkwardness. Therapy for geeks from a geek therapist might just be the support you're looking for.

CoTenacious Therapy

Our clients are the kind of folks who are ready to level up—not just their lives, but their relationships and their sense of self. They’re all about putting in the work, both in and out of sessions (yes, there’s homework, but it’s the good kind). They want a therapist who’s not just along for the ride, but right there in the trenches with them, working just as hard to create a safe, supportive space to grow.

Online Therapy

Sonia Kersevich

Many feel alone and overwhelmed when they are struggling with life challenges or mental health symptoms. I am here to provide support. Some people try to stuff the “bad feelings” deep down and pretend they are okay, while others shut out family and friends so they don’t hurt them or feel judged by them. It can be hard to have hope when you feel trapped in such a dark place without a light to see the way out.
