Jami Rieffel, LMFT

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.

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 Savannah

Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Savannah starts with identifying care that is affirming, specific, and aligned with what you want to address. LGBTQIA+ counseling in Savannah may support people exploring identity, gender identity, relationships, family dynamics, anxiety, depression, or stress related to life changes. As you compare therapists, look for profiles that mention affirmative therapy, WPATH training, gender-diverse experience, or work with LGBTQIA+ communities. These signals can help you find a therapist whose listed experience matches your needs.

In a smaller city like Savannah, the number of local queer affirming therapy options may be more limited than in larger metro areas. Virtual appointments can expand your search while keeping in-person care available when it fits your schedule and preferences. Beyond specialty, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist offers a free phone consultation, and whether their background or approach feels relevant to you. Reading therapist bios can show how they describe their work with LGBTQIA+ populations, their communication style, and what to expect in a first session.

Therapy in Savannah can be a significant expense without insurance, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find LGBTQ friendly therapists in Savannah, GA who are accepting new patients, take your insurance, and offer clear cost estimates before you book. You can compare therapists, review bios, choose virtual or in-person care, and book directly when you’re ready.
