Just like any other group, the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and questioning (LGBTQ) community faces mental health issues and unique challenges. However, LGBTQ individuals are almost 3 times more likely than others to experience a mental health condition, such as depression or anxiety. Additionally, more than half of individuals who identify as transgender experience depression or anxiety. The LGBTQ community is also at a higher risk for suicide. Young people are even more at risk, as they may experience a lack of support at home and fear, hatred or prejudice in school. If you are a member of the LGBTQ community and are facing mental health challenges, you don’t have to suffer in silence. Reach out to one of TherapyDen’s LGBTQ experts and get help today.
Some of my specialty areas include: LGBTQIA+, Perinatal mental health, Body image/fat liberation, and Consensual non-monogamy. I feel passionate about working with queer, transgender, and non-binary individuals who are on the path to parenthood. This includes those who may be carrying a child, thinking about conceiving, as well as non-birthing partners. Taking that step can feel scary and particularly polarizing in our binary filled world and I am here to hold and honor your space.

Do you feel gripped by intrusive thoughts? Do you struggle with shame around obsessive behaviors? I have special interest in treating people with OCD and body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs), such as hair pulling and skin picking. I have also worked with individuals with eating disorders, helping them to find a more balanced relationship to both food and their bodies. I have experience working with a range of mood disorders, including depression, bipolar disorder, and anxiety.

Isn’t opening up to a new therapist one of the worst things? Especially when you’re worried if they’ll “get” the experiences you’ve had exploring or developing new identities. Whether this is the first or 50th time searching for a therapist, it’s scary. I work hard to minimize those fears by providing a safe and affirming space to open up and embrace your own truth. What would it be like to work with a therapist who accepts you exactly as you are, while supporting you to be better? Come find out

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.

I specialize in assisting my clients to deal with stress, high-functioning anxiety, neurodiversity, trauma, and/or depression. I also work with those who identify as being “Black Sheep” – or what I dub as “Black Unicorns”, trailblazers and family-disrupters, or first-generation pioneers, in addition to either formally un-parented or under-parented adults.

I work with adults and adolescents (age 15+) struggling with issues such as anxiety, addictions, PTSD, grief and loss and life transitions such as divorce. I enjoy working with people from all walks of life and have many clients in the LGBTQIA community.

I’m affirming of all genders, sexualities, and relationship structures. My approach is collaborative and flexible. We’ll work together to help you articulate your needs and craft a plan for meeting them. I’ll provide practical tools for immediate relief and help you gain insight to support lasting change.

You're not sure when it happened, but you don't recognize the child sitting in front of you or the person looking back at you in the mirror. You want to feel happier, healthier, and more confident, but nothing seems to work. You feel stuck in the past and aren't able to enjoy the present, making the future feel hopeless. You're feeling so overwhelmed that you can't stop worrying and focus on work or school. And you just want to feel empowered to ask for help when you need it.

Are you feel stuck in a pattern that you seem unable to get out of or dealing with complex feelings or situations that leave you feeling overwhelmed? I understand how difficult it can be to entertain the idea that life can be different. It is my belief that therapy is a space for you to interrogate beliefs, regain a sense of agency, and to rewrite your story. I will work with you to gently explore the origins of beliefs that no longer serve you and use evidenced based therapy to empower you.

I truly believe the journey you are on is far greater than the season you are walking through. Adjusting to life in a post pandemic world has left many learning to cope with the unknown; unknown stress, unknown career paths, unknown relationships, unknown trauma, unknown sense of self. Sometimes these unknowns cause increased anxiety, depressive states, low self esteem, stress in relationships and loss of direction. You are capable of embracing the unknowns to build your new life.
Online Therapy
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? (And yes, Dr. Dante D. Dawg, works with us too!)
