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'm Catie Eager, a Licensed Professional Counselor, National Certified Counselor, and Certified Narcissistic Abuse Treatment Clinician practicing virtually in New Jersey, Washington D.C., and Virginia. I founded Lotus Mental Health Counseling to fill a gap I kept seeing: brilliant, capable people destroyed by relationships that quietly dismantled their sense of self.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who provides a compassionate, supportive, and nonjudgmental space for clients to explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. My approach is client-centered and strengths-based, focusing on helping clients identify their personal strengths while developing practical coping skills to manage life’s challenges. I collaborate closely with each client to set achievable goals, improve communication, and build resilience, confidence, and emotional well-being. I use evidence-informed techniques tailored to each individual, ensuring that therapy is both meaningful and applicable to daily life. My goal is to empower clients to create lasting, positive change while feeling understood and supported throughout the process.
Hey there! I am a therapist that has a passion for helping individuals cope with ongoing life stressors. I want to assist people with building the best version of themselves. I specialize in working with those who struggle to manage their stress and/or anxiety. I love working with individuals who are struggling to navigate the complex world of relationships & parenting. I also enjoy helping those who struggle with financial stress and anxiety build a healthier relationship with money.
Are you BIPOC or LGBTQIA+ struggling with self-compassion and self-care? Are you struggling with the anxiety of navigating a society that feels like it's not made to support you? Whether it's systemic issues or unpredictable life changes, sometimes life can feel overwhelming and beyond our control. I provide a space for you to be your authentic self and receive unconditional positive regard through these challenges. Come as you are.

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.
