Therapy for LGBTQ+ Identity Exploration in Virginia
Existing in a system that is not designed for you, or is actively against you, takes a toll on both physical and mental health. Wondering if your right to marry will be overturned, or your access to live-saving gender affirming care will be taken away. Wondering if it’s safe to be your true self every time you walk outside.
As a queer and transgender therapist, I get it. My number one goal is providing an open, judgement-free environment where you can feel secure. Whether you’re exploring your sexuality or gender identity, processing trauma or discrimination, or just want another queer person to vent to, I’m here for it all. I am also able to write affirming letters for healthcare providers.
Community, support, and acceptance are the most important factors in LGBTQ+ mental wellbeing… So let it start with taking care of you.

About LGBTQIA+ Identities
LGBTQIA+ is an acronym that stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning, Intersex, and asexual, representing a diverse community of sexual orientations and gender identities.
Diverse sexual orientations and gender identities have existed across all recorded human history and cultures. From the poetry of Sappho in ancient Greece, to the Two-Spirit traditions of Native American cultures, alternative gender roles and same-sex attractions are deeply rooted in global ancestry.
What does Identity Exploration look like?
At Honeybee, you are the expert of your life and who you are. That being said, sometimes it’s nice to have someone supporting you as you discover exactly what that means. Being in a safe, judgement-free environment while exploring such personal aspects of who you are is more valuable than many people realize. In practice, this can look like sorting through past experiences, trying new names or pronouns, and deciding what kind of future you want to create for yourself. All of this along side a professional with not only the education, but the lived experiences as a member of the community, will provide an affirming and supportive space.
