LGBT therapists in Marietta, GA

Hello! I'm Tommy Hampton, IV. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. My extensive education and training have equipped me to specialize in a holistic approach in areas such as Couple's Dynamics, Family Systems, Men's Issues, Christian Counseling, LGBTQIA+, Grief, Stress Management, Anger Management, Cultural Competency Issues, and Personal Growth.

I am a therapist who genuinely loves this work and the people I get to do it with. I work with adults who are navigating big life changes, relationship shifts, and the kind of moments that make you stop and ask "who am I now?" My approach is flexible and collaborative, so we figure out together what you need and how to get there. I work fully virtually, so you can show up to sessions from wherever feels most comfortable for you.

I am a native of Coastal Georgia. He attended St. Leo University, where I obtained my undergraduate degree in Human Resources. I went on to obtain two Master’s degrees: one in Public Administration, from Columbus State University and the other in Clinical Counseling, from South University.

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.

You may be carrying a lot beneath the surface while still doing your best to show up for work, relationships, family, and everyday responsibilities. Anxiety can leave your mind constantly running, depression may make it harder to feel like yourself, and ADHD or chronic health concerns can add another layer of exhaustion when you are already stretched thin. I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors experiencing anxiety, depression, LGBTQIA+ concerns, cultural and ethnic issues, and physical health concerns. These experiences can also overlap with women’s issues, family concerns, trauma, PTSD, chronic conditions, grief or loss, or relationship challenges, especially when your health, identity, relationships, and emotional wellbeing are all influencing one another. Therapy can give you a place where the different parts of your experience are understood together. Together, we can make sense of what has been weighing on you, strengthen healthier ways of coping, and help you feel more grounded and connected to yourself.

My name is Benjamin. With over 25 years of experience, I help individuals and couples build stronger, more fulfilling relationships and improve emotional well-being. I work with adults, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, PTSD, and other life challenges.

You may look like you have it together, but inside you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, anxious, or trapped in your own thoughts. You replay conversations, struggle to quiet your mind at night, or carry experiences you rarely talk about. You've learned to keep functioning while bearing the weight of it all. As someone who has been on the other side of the badge and now serves as a licensed clinician, I understand what it means to bring difficult experiences home with you. When accustomed to being strong for everyone else, therapy can be where you finally take care of yourself. Let me help you quiet the spiral and reclaim your life.

As a former law enforcement officer, licensed clinical social worker, and current children’s social worker, I bring both professional training and real-world-experiences to therapy. I understand that asking for help can make it uncomfortable-especially for people who are accustomed to being the one others depend on.
