At an early age I spent hours listening to people talk about the transitions, traumas, and troubles in their life as I played just out of ear’s reach (or so they thought). These special moments ignited a passion for people and what happens when human beings start being human.

Relationships can sometimes feel like you are speaking two different languages. You both love each other but argue about the smallest things. Feeling like you have to raise your voice just to be heard? Then feeling hurt because you are still misunderstood?

This is common for many couples. I can help give you the tools you need to really talk to each other again. To redirect that passion in a healthy direction and teach you how to truly rediscover each other!

I'm a therapist, punk, and human. I help late diagnosed (or suspecting!) ADHD/AuDHD women and AFAB folks work through the shame tapes (like "I'm lazy" or "I'm not good enough" or "everyone can do this except me") to get to empowerment. I am also trained in EMDR and group therapy facilitation for trauma processing and resilience building. Let's rise together!

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.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA Therapist in Augusta

Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Augusta starts with choosing care that is identity-affirming and aligned with your needs. An affirming therapist may support people navigating identity, relationships, family dynamics, anxiety, depression, trauma, or stress related to lived experience. As you compare therapists, look for bios that mention affirmative therapy, WPATH training, gender-diverse experience, or direct experience supporting LGBTQIA+ clients. These details can help you find a therapist whose background matches what you want from care.

Augusta has a range of mental health professionals, but therapists who explicitly focus on LGBTQIA+ care may be fewer than in larger metro areas. Virtual appointments can expand your options while keeping in-person care available if you prefer a local office. Beyond specialty, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist offers a free phone consultation, and whether their communication style feels like a fit. Reading profiles before booking can help you see how each therapist describes their approach, populations served, and session structure.

Therapy in Augusta can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for LGBTQIA+ therapists in Augusta who are accepting new patients, compare profiles, enter your insurance details for an estimated cost, and book directly when you’re ready.
