Arlington Therapists specializing in LGBTQ Issues

Sean Penny

Do you feel anxious, sad, lonely, or isolated? Do you struggle with pain connected to racism, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, or one of the many ways we can be made to feel less than or not ourselves? As we build a relationship together, your thoughts, feelings, experiences, fears, and fantasies will be heard and treated with respect, curiosity, and care.

Kathryn Harlow

I know how isolating it can feel to experience stressful or traumatic events on your own, and so often, we feel like a burden on our loved ones for turning to them for support. It is my mission to help you process difficult experiences in a safe environment, so you can grow, heal, and start to feel like yourself again.

Hilary Therit

Our clients have often tried "traditional" talk therapy and haven't felt seen, heard, or helped. We believe our clients already have the inner strength and resources to heal themselves and our goal is to help guide them through this process to promote change and healing. Trauma therapy is not a "one size fits all" approach, therefore we treat each client as unique as they are. Together we will work to overcome obstacles and challenges that you are currently experiencing or have experienced.

Lou Sanfillipo

While I welcome and support all clients, I specialize in serving folx who identify as gender, sexuality, and relationship diverse (GSRD). I provide individual therapy, sex therapy, and couples (+) therapy to support people in meeting their goals for themselves and their relationships. It is never the wrong time to become a better version of yourself. Some come to work through trauma and transitions, while others come for empowerment, self-care, and healthy boundaries.

Christina Frank

Do you notice the same patterns play out in your romantic, friend, and work relationships? Do you have a hard time internalizing the helpful information you read, hear, follow? If you're feeling stuck, I am here to help you regain that momentum in your therapeutic journey. Exploring attachment messaging, past traumas, and internalized core beliefs, I am able to help you find clarity and integrate the tools to create lasting change.

Latonia Staten

You ever wonder why you hold on to things so much that it interferes with having a life full of potential? Do you worry about where your life is going that you don't see your purpose? Do you feel that everyone has told you to slow down on your drinking and may be worried that you have a problem? I understand the feeling that you are not living to your full potential because you spend too much time with the trivial and have not focused on the things that give your life meaning.

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.

Bailey Call

I specialize in working with adults and teens in the LGBTQ+ community, but I am here to support you whether or not sexuality and/or gender are your primary reasons for seeking therapy. Together, we can work through a variety of experiences like anxiety, life transitions, trauma, self-esteem related issues, faith transitions, and navigating relationships with significant people in your life. I utilize a Jungian, psycho-analytic framework, alongside parts-based work, and a social justice lens.

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?

Angela Alborn

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

Ian Caughlan

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.

Ami Lynch

I serve adults, adolescents, & couples/polycules via in-person & telehealth sessions in Virginia, DC, NC, VT & WV. I work with a diverse caseload of clients including LGBTQIA+ folx, poly/ENM/CNM & kink dynamics, parents that are struggling, those whose world upended after DNA results, those that are anxious and/or depressed, & more. If you're a struggling perfectionist, believe nothing can help you, think you're the only one, or are terrified of therapy, let's chat and see if we're a good fit!

Wayne Bullock

Our world continues to change, with its weight sometimes growing overwhelming and crushing. You are not alone. Together we’ll explore your feelings & thoughts while comprehending patterns in your history and life experience that have shaped you up to this moment. We’ll find a new space that feels more authentic, free, and connected through this work. We’ll manage and reduce your feelings of anxiety, depression, and other distressing thoughts.

Kathryn Ziemer

I combine evidence-based methods with a warm welcoming environment. What can you expect out of therapy? 1) Reducing symptoms: We’ll work together so you feel better as soon as possible. 2) Figuring out the root of your challenges: We’ll explore what caused you to feel this way in the first place. 3) Building your confidence going forward: You will learn and practice new skills that will help you feel confident overcoming future challenges.

Beth Levine

Do you get overwhelmed by your emotions or feel numb? Do you get caught in a negative spiral of shame and worthlessness? Maybe you find that you feel irritable much of the time or have trouble concentrating. I know that these challenges and others are painful and get in the way of leading a fulfilling life. I don’t want you to suffer from them anymore. The skills I have learned and the understanding I bring to my work will help you be self-compassionate and enjoy your life.

Maureen Bethea

I believe all humans are wired for resilience and connection. If you are having difficulty connecting with yourself or others, struggling with issues involving anxiety or depression, your relationships, or past wounds, I guide clients from a strength-based approach. I work with adults, adolescents, couples, and families to meet their goals and be in a better place.

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.

Online Therapy

Jacqueline Casumbal

My ideal client: 1) wants to or is curious about connecting to their racial, cultural, and or ethnic roots outside of white supremacy and the patriarchy, 2) is open to talking about the impact of systemic oppression, 3) appreciates exploring their relationship to nature and spirituality, the metaphysical and mysterious, 4) open to my relaxed, conversational, and sometimes humorous therapeutic approach (as opposed to a highly structured approach with exercises and homework).

Erick Sowell

My specialties include motivational interviewing, mindfulness, sleep hygiene, cultural humility, LGBTQ+ affirming care, and consensual non-monogamy/sex-positive awareness. I am also a National Coalition for Sexual Freedom Kink Aware Professional. *** My availability is currently limited, but you are encouraged to contact me to discuss scheduling an intake and/or waitlist placement. ***

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.
