Hello! I know people have many different perspectives on therapy, and I’m glad you’re exploring your options. After doing this for many years now, I have developed a comprehensive understanding of how people progress in counseling and therapy. I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Virginia, and I specialize working with anxiety, depression, and ADHD.
I am Dr. A.C. Fowlkes, a Virginia-licensed clinical psychologist with extensive experience working in complex behavioral health settings. I provide affirming therapy to LGBTQ+ clients, including transgender and gender-diverse individuals, as well as people navigating cancer and other major life transitions. In separate areas of my practice, I also work with individuals living with schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders and those with histories of sexual offending. My approach is compassionate, direct, and collaborative; I create space for you to feel heard while also offering honest feedback and respectfully challenging patterns that may be getting in your way.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA Therapist in Richmond
Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Richmond starts with care that affirms your identity and matches your needs. Look for therapists who name experience with LGBTQIA+ people, gender-diverse clients, affirmative therapy, WPATH training, or related care in their profiles. You may also want support for concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship stress, trauma, identity exploration, or family conflict. A therapist’s listed specialties, training, and approach can help you decide whether their experience fits what you want from care.
Richmond has a range of therapists, but LGBTQIA+-affirming care may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and specialty. Virtual appointments can expand your options if you want to consider therapists beyond nearby offices or need more flexible availability. As you compare therapists, look at whether they are accepting new clients, offer free phone consultations, and list experience with LGBTQIA+ populations. Reading bios can also show how a therapist describes their style, communication, and work with clients who share parts of your identity or lived experience.
Therapy in Richmond can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care more affordable. Headway helps you find LGBTQIA+-affirming therapists, review estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and use your insurance details on Headway to confirm coverage for your specific plan and location. This makes it easier to compare fit, cost, and availability in one place.
