Life can be overwhelming. As your therapist, I can help you deal with life's changes without judgement. My goal is to assist you with enhancing your life and discovering your purpose.
My name is Chastity Munoz and I am a LPCC in the state of Kentucky. I graduated from Lindsey Wilson College in 2015 with a Master's of Education in Counseling and Human Development. I have worked with clients from 3 years to 75 years of age. I have worked with clients with depression, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, and stress.
Couples who call me say they've drifted apart, feel more like roommates, and affection has stopped. Ineffective patterns of communication prevent them from reaching to each other. The magic in their relationship has died and the dance has ended. Individuals who call me say they are exhausted, discouraged, and dissatisfied with life. Old thoughts and behaviors continue to negatively impact who they are, what they want to accomplish, and their relationships. They too, have lost the meaning and magic of life. Healthy relationships, whether with yourself or others, are key to a happy, satisfying, life and keeping the magic going.
( I currently only provide medication management no individual therapy)
I am a dual-certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with over 15 years of experience in healthcare. My background spans primary care, urgent care, and mental health, allowing me to approach each client with a comprehensive understanding of both physical and emotional well-being.
I specialize in diagnosing and treating a wide range of mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, trauma-related disorders, ADHD, and mood disorders. My practice focuses on providing evidence-based medication management paired with supportive, collaborative care. I believe in meeting clients where they are, empowering them through education, and tailoring treatment plans to their unique needs, preferences, and goals.
My approach is warm, non-judgmental, and holistic. I value building strong therapeutic relationships and creating a safe space where clients can feel heard, understood, and supported.
If you’re looking for compassionate, thorough, and personalized care, I’m here to help you take the next step in your mental health journey.
I believe therapy should be real, not stiff. Therapy with me is collaborative, honest, and human. My style is relaxed, warm, direct, and funny when it helps. I work with people navigating grief, life transitions, self-esteem struggles, chronic health diagnosis, complex family dynamics, marital challenges and complicated expectations placed on women. We will sort though what's heavy, challenge the narratives that aren't' serving you and help realize a life that feels more like your own. My goal is to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and working towards growth.
Your therapy is not about me, but in today's climate most people want to know the values of their therapist. I bring a commitment to social justice and equality into my work. This perspective helps me create a space where clients feel seen, respected, and understood within the full context of their lives.
Reaching out for therapy can feel intimidating — especially if you’re afraid of being judged, misunderstood, or unsure whether therapy will actually help. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally exhausted, stuck in unhealthy patterns, or like you’re barely holding things together on the outside, you’re not alone.
My approach is warm, direct, practical, and collaborative. I help clients not only process emotions, but also understand why certain patterns keep happening and how to create meaningful, lasting change. Together, we focus on building emotional awareness, healthier coping skills, nervous system regulation, and stronger relationships.
Many of my clients struggle with anxiety, perfectionism, emotional overwhelm, relationship stress, attachment wounds, self-esteem issues, or difficulty managing intense emotions. I work to create a space where clients feel safe, supported, understood, and empowered to move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
If any of this resonates with you, I’d be honored to support you in your healing process.
Hi, I’m a therapist who believes healing doesn’t have to feel stiff, awkward, or like you’re sitting in a room being judged by someone holding a clipboard.
My style is warm, down-to-earth, and often sprinkled with humor—because sometimes we need to laugh so we don’t fall apart, and sometimes we just need to laugh while we’re putting ourselves back together.
I specialize in working with people who don’t fit neatly into one diagnostic box—folks with dual diagnoses, complex histories, depression that doesn’t budge easily, and the “I’ve tried therapy before and it didn’t help” crowd. If you’ve been called “a lot,” “too much,” or “hard to treat,” you’re exactly my kind of person.
What therapy with me feels like:
Safe, supportive, and human—not clinical and cold
A place where you can be messy, honest, sarcastic, or quiet
Collaborative, with plenty of gentle challenge when you need it
Rooted in evidence-based strategies, but delivered in a way that feels real and doable
Hi, I’m Jessica, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP). I provide compassionate, personalized mental health care in a supportive and judgment-free environment. My approach is collaborative and centered on understanding your unique needs, experiences, and goals. Together, we’ll create a thoughtful treatment plan to help you feel your best and improve your overall well-being.
With over a decade of experience, I offer tailored therapy for diverse challenges: Disruptive Behavior, Parental Stress, LGBTQIA Support, Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Relationships, Grief, Life Transitions, BIPOC Concerns, and Personal Growth. I use a holistic approach integrating Trauma-Informed Care, CBT, and Behavior Therapy. Let's work towards healing and growth together!
Kayla, a licensed Clinical Social Worker with a background in community mental health, recognized the profound disparities in access to mental health care within BIPOC communities. Inspired by a vision of creating a space where healing is both inclusive and affordable, she founded Helen’s Project with the belief that everyone deserves access to quality mental health support, regardless of their background or financial situation.Helen’s Project operates on the principle that culturally competent and empathetic mental health care is essential for holistic well-being. The organization collaborates with a diverse team of mental health professionals who not only possess clinical expertise but also understand the unique cultural nuances and challenges faced by the BIPOC community.
Having over 25 years of hands on experience with a variety of clients, I am comfortable working with just about anyone who is ready and willing to look at new perspectives. During our time together, you will feel safe, understood, and empowered.

I offer individual and family therapy. I work with clients ages 5 to 65. Tele-health options are available for clients ages 16 +.
I've always loved helping people live more fulfilling and joyful lives. As humans, we do not exist in a vacuum, so many things take a toll on our daily lives and through our work together, we can figure out what works and what doesn't. I am an LCSW and have been specializing in OCD and Trauma for over three years.

Frequently asked questions


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 Lexington
Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Lexington starts with identifying care that is affirming, informed, and relevant to your needs. You may want support related to identity, relationships, family dynamics, anxiety, depression, trauma, or major life changes. As you compare therapists, look for profiles that mention LGBTQIA+-affirming care, affirmative therapy, gender-diverse experience, or training related to transgender and gender-expansive care. These details can help you find a therapist whose background aligns with what you want to discuss.
Lexington has a growing mental health care community, but affirming therapists may be fewer than general therapy options in some parts of the area. Virtual appointments can expand your search beyond offices near your home, campus, or workplace while still keeping care accessible. As you narrow your options, review whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your schedule, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading bios closely can show how each therapist describes their style, experience with LGBTQIA+ populations, and approach to care.
Therapy in Lexington can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for LGBTQIA+-affirming therapists, verify your insurance, and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. You can compare therapists by specialty, availability, appointment format, and insurance fit, then book directly when you’re ready.
