As a Black queer therapist, I know what it costs to spend years explaining yourself, to family, to coworkers, even to past therapists. I'm Nicole, and I offer virtual therapy for BIPOC and LGBTQ+ adults and couples in Texas and Florida who are tired of translating their lives. Maybe it's anxiety that never switches off, trauma you've learned to work around, or shame about who you are that was handed to you before you could question it. Here, you can skip the explaining and start with what actually hurts.
