LGBT therapists in Newport News, VA

Hi there!

My name is Lorraine and I have over 20 years experience providing mental health services. I began my career in the school setting and have recently spread my wings into private practice. My approach is warm, compassionate, practical, and nonjudgmental. I believe therapy should feel like a safe place where you can be your authentic self, not a place where you have to have everything figured out before you walk through the door. Together, we can explore what is happening beneath the surface, identify patterns that may be getting in your way, and develop strategies that actually fit your life.

With 8 years of experience in the mental health field, I firmly believe in the parity of mental and physical health. Life often leads us into dark tunnels, and my role in therapy is to guide individuals toward the light at the end of those tunnels.

Great to meet you! My name is Umu (She/Her), and I’m a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner specializing in integrative, functional, metabolic, and nutritional psychiatry, as well as comprehensive psychological evaluations for adolescents and adults. I support individuals experiencing cognitive and executive functioning challenges such as ADHD, anxiety, sexual health concerns—including premature ejaculation, delayed ejaculation, erectile dysfunction, painful sex, dyspareunia, and vaginismus—and hormonal changes that may impact mental health, including testosterone support and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) when clinically appropriate.

I help young adults, adults, and athletes work through anxiety, depression, grief and loss, burnout, attachment and relationship challenges, and confidence or performance struggles so they can feel more grounded, confident, and connected in their lives. If you feel stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of your next step, you don’t have to figure it out alone. Therapy can be a place to better understand yourself, build on your strengths, and create meaningful change.

As a licensed clinical social worker, worker, my passion is LGBTQ+ mental health. I have worked in settings including community mental health, hospital, and housing justice work. My focus includes how societal systems give us contexts for what we bring to therapy.

Hi, I’m Marli. I’m a licensed social worker in Maryland, Virginia, and DC, and I enjoy working with children, teens, and adults.

Originally from Maryland, I earned my Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology from the University of Maryland and my Master of Social Work from the University of Michigan. Outside of work, I love spending time with my dog, traveling, getting creative through arts and crafts, and being around family and friends.
