Finding a therapist who truly gets your life can feel like a long search. One who sees more than a diagnosis, who doesn't need you to explain yourself before you can get to work. If you're part of the LGBTQ+ community, that search often comes with an extra layer: the quiet work of figuring out whether this therapist is actually safe, or whether you'll spend your sessions educating them. With me, you won't have to do that work.

I'm a licensed therapist with more than 22 years of experience in mental health and addiction treatment. I've worked in community mental health centers, psychiatric hospitals, correctional settings, and private practice. I've sat with people in some of the hardest moments of their lives and know how to meet them there without flinching.

My primary focus is LGBTQ+ individuals and couples. That includes navigating identity, coming out at any stage of life, relationship dynamics unique to queer and same-sex partnerships, internalized stigma, minority stress, and everything that comes with living authentically in a world that doesn't always make that easy. I also work with anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, substance use and dual diagnosis, men's issues, and stress and burnout.

Dr. Renee Clauselle

Dr. Renee Clauselle

Psychologist

Virtual • Florida


Hi! I'm Dr. Renee Clauselle. I'm a down to earth psychologist that has been in practice for over 20 years. I am passionate about my client's personal growth. My specialties include, but are not limited to treatment of anxiety, depression, life transitions, attachment styles, self worth, parenting, and more. I'm a former professor at St. John's University and a media psychologist for GMA. Check out some of my appearances on Youtube @dr.reneeclauselle1571.

I specialize in working with clients who feel stuck in patterns they can recognize but struggle to change, such as overthinking, repeating unhealthy relationship dynamics, difficulty regulating emotions, or feeling overwhelmed despite “knowing better.” Many have done therapy before and have insight, but want support translating that awareness into real, lasting shifts. My approach integrates psychotherapy with somatic work to help regulate and rewire the nervous system so change is not just understood but experienced. For clients who feel blocked or unable to move forward, I also offer emerging neurofeedback to support deeper brain based change and neuroplasticity. I work with diverse populations and tailor treatment to meet each client where they are while guiding them toward meaningful, sustainable growth.

Ashlee Lucarevski

Therapist

Virtual • Florida


Ashlee Lucarevski is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Boca Raton, Florida. She attained her Masters in Social Work from Florida Atlantic University, along with a certification in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Ashlee is also a doctoral candidate, who is currently working towards her Ph.d. in Clinical Sexology with a specialty in addictions. She is most skilled addressing issues related to anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, mood disorders, and substance abuse. Additionally she has a passion for helping the LGBT community and families manage the challenges that are often particular to this community such as: identity, self esteem issues, relationships challenges, fertility/adoption and family planning, as well as secondary issues that arise as a result of trauma. Ashlee is experienced in addressing challenges of both children and teens along with adults, by combining different theoretical perspectives in an attempt to aid individuals with gaining a deeper understanding of themselves.


Ashlee believes that the therapeutic process is one that is collaborative and recognizes the importance of a client's individuality. Therefore, while she utilizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, along with Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing Techniques to encourage change she also realizes that there is not a one size fits all approach. Ashlee is both committed and dedicated to helping others achieve the change that they desire.
