Lake Wales Therapists specializing in LGBTQ Issues

Rebecca Lima

Our identities profoundly influence our experiences, and I specialize in supporting individuals navigating life from diverse and marginalized backgrounds. I particularly value working with first- and second-generation children of immigrants who are committed to breaking generational patterns and addressing inherited trauma. My lived experiences enrich our therapeutic work together, allowing me to offer a compassionate and understanding approach tailored to your unique journey.

Kristopher Thorpe

Most of my work focuses on working with folks in the LGBTQIA spectrum to heal trauma, improve relationships, explore sex and develop a sense of wellbeing. During our initial sessions we will explore your life, your issues, and your goals to build a collaborative way forward. Throughout our work we will look to build insight and shine a light on all of the pieces that make you, you.

Margaret Keig

While I provide therapy to people from all walks of life, the goals I collaborate in developing with clients are mainly focused on: LGBTQ+ and their families, gender identity following the WPATH Standards of Care, grief and loss, relationship issues, sexuality, trauma, depression, anxiety, life transitions, addictions, HIV/AIDS, and spirituality. I work with adults, teens, couples, and families, including monogamous and polyamorous relationships, and alternative sexualities.

Melixa Carbonell

Do you feel stuck? Disconnected from yourself and everyone around you? Hiding from everything because it feels too exhausting to do anything more than basic functioning? Are you taking care of everyone else and neglecting yourself? Do you worry about EVERYTHING and question every choice you make or thought you have? Do you feel overwhelmed, wondering if you’re good enough, or if you’ll finally be seen and accepted for who you are? I see you. You are not alone.

Hege Riise

Are you are realizing that the effects of past trauma, violence or abuse have left things a tangled mess? Are you struggling with how difficult experiences have affected your relationships? Or maybe you belong to a gender, sexual, or relationship minority (e.g., LGBTQ+, kink) and are looking for an affirming provider to support you through whatever life has brought you? I look forward to supporting you in gaining the knowledge and skills to navigate whatever stressors life has brought you.

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.

Marc Campbell

I have worked with an array of concerns including depression, anxiety, multicultural issues, trauma, life transitions/stressors and LGBTQ+ related issues. As a multicultural counselor, I know that your story and identities have a huge role in how you navigate the world. If you are looking for some help heading in the right direction, then I can offer support.

Alan Zupka

I sincerely believe that everyone’s spirituality, race, culture, gender, and sexual orientation must be valued because all remain as vital components that compose who we are. I am dedicated to helping members of the LGBTQ community who struggle with depression, anxiety, coming out, life transitions, HIV diagnosis, relationships, and social factors. I have also dedicated my life to helping those who suffer from addiction issues, including alcohol, drugs, sex, and gambling.

Dr. Lara Davis

"Is this really it?, Is this all there is?" Sounds a little too familiar? Life is feeling chaotic, unfulfilling, or just blah. Some days it feels like you have it together, some days it feels like one wrong move and everything is going to fall apart. Anxiety, self-doubt, and depression are all holding you back. You and I can work together to build a life worth living. We aren't looking for unattainable perfection. It's knowing that you will prevail even when life gets tough.

Abbie Aldridge

It can be lonely to feel like you are unseen, unheard, and that you're not understood as you are. At Healing Village, you are not alone, you are valid, and you are whole. Too often, individuals are reduced to who they love, who they are, or the sum of their parts, but are not seen as a whole person. At Healing Village, you'll have the freedom to explore what is preventing you from living the best version of yourself and to develop practical skills to move through whatever has you stuck.

Mariah Plociniak

You might be struggling with something concrete—a challenge in your relationships or a professional hurdle. You might be facing a big decision. Or you simply might know something feels off but are unable to place a finger on what is going on. No matter the issue, I am here to walk you through the process.

Kara Anderson

My ideal client believes in growth and is motivated to effect desired change as a unified and committed team. My clients are my equal and I approach therapy as a collaborative process. Diversity is hallmark to my practice and I welcome differences across all realms. My clients immensely inspire me on a daily basis and remind me of my greater purpose outside of my own microcosm. It is always with utmost respect, humility and honor that I serve them.

Shannon Knight

You know yourself better than anyone else – even if it doesn’t seem like it yet. I help my clients to discover (or rediscover) themselves in meaningful ways. The tools are sometimes out-of-the-box (maybe a tarot card will help you work through that difficult thought process or better understand that dysfunctional relationship), evidenced-based, and always collaborative. We’ll laugh. You’ll probably cry – but you’ll definitely feel better.
