LGBT therapists in Albany, GA

Whether you’re battling your inner critic, processing trauma, or just trying to survive in a neurotypical or cis-normative world, I’m here to support your growth, healing, and self-discovery. Therapy doesn’t have to be sterile or detached—we can bring your fandoms, creativity, and passions into the room as tools for healing.

If you're struggling with feeling like you fit in, knowing who you are, or carrying a heavy weight across your shoulders, welcome. I specialize in trauma and dissociation, neurodivergence, and LGBTQIA+ concerns. I've been practicing therapy for the past five years and have been in mental health for the last decade.

I am a licensed mental health counselor in New York state. I completed her master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling at Molloy College. I have over 13 years of experience working in the field of human services and mental health. I have worked closely with adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities. I am known for my resilient spirit and ability to provide unconditional positive regard.

I specialize in sex therapy and relationship counseling for LGBTQ+, gender-expansive, kink-involved, and consensually non-monogamous adults. You may feel capable and self-aware in most areas of life yet unsettled in your closest relationships. Together, we will connect the dots between present triggers and earlier relational experiences so recurring patterns can be understood and shifted with intention.

Hey I'm Jamie! I graduated in 2010 from the University of Georgia School of Social Work, and worked in hospice care, a nursing home, and with children and families in community mental health before private practice. I want to help anyone who is struggling, even if they are not an "ideal client". I believe every human has strengths and is a multifaceted being. I have a special place in my heart for neurodivergent individuals as well as members of the LGBTQIA+ community. <3

Hello there, my name is Christian Waller, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I think that when we're able to understand how our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are mirrors of our meanings and experiences, we're able to explore a bit deeper for what drives us and what we want to do with that information.

I believe therapy should be a space where you feel seen without having to over-explain yourself. My role is to help you reconnect with your strengths, deepen your relationships, and move through life with greater self-trust and ease.

I believe my job as a therapist is to help tap into your most authentic self, and walk alongside you with whatever struggles there may be. My approach to therapy is direct, with the use of humor, analogies, and metaphors; I try to bring every thing together to help make sense in a world that can be confusing. Together we can tackle whatever difficult situation may be occurring in your life and get to the other side.

Hello, my name is Tabitha, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia. I earned my Masters in Rehabilitation Professional Counseling at Georgia State in 2011 and my Bachelors in Psychology from Kennesaw State in 2006. For the past 11 years, I have been providing counseling and assessment services for a variety of clients. As a counselor, I am well-versed in depression, anxiety, self-esteem, relationship issues, and trauma. I am a LGBTQ+, kink, and polyam-friendly therapist.

Hello and welcome! If you're feeling anxious or disconnected from yourself, I'd be happy to support you on your counseling journey. I work with adults and children in navigating family transitions like divorce or co-parenting, healing from emotionally complicated or absent parent relationships, managing relationship and dating patterns, identity development, and building healthier connections. I'm a dedicated master's-level therapist with expertise in EMDR, REBT, Solution-Focused, and Gestalt therapy. As a certified 200-hr RYT, I integrate yoga and meditation to enhance healing, balance, and well-being.

I’ve been trained extensively in EMDR. EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a therapeutic approach designed to help individuals process experiences. It works by engaging bilateral stimulation, such as side-to-side eye movements and tapping leading to reduced emotional impact and improved mental well-being.

My practice extends to navigating the complexities of childhood trauma, offering support for both emotional and physical well-being. Additionally, I provide a compassionate approach to help you overcome life's challenges. Let's work together to build resilience and create positive change in your life.

Founder & Therapist, CoAuthored Therapy

I believe therapy is most powerful when it feels like a story we write together. I bring a collaborative, narrative-based approach to working with individuals, couples, and families. My goal is to create a space where clients feel both supported and empowered to re-author the stories that shape their lives.

I earned my Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from National University, where I focused on systems theory and narrative practice. Over the years, I’ve worked with diverse populations supporting clients through challenges such as relationship transitions, trauma recovery, and identity exploration.
