Hey there, I'm Natasha, and I want you to know that I'm here to provide a safe and understanding space for you to explore the unique challenges and experiences that come with being a part of the LGBT community.
I have a deep respect and understanding for the diverse journeys that individuals within the LGBT community go through. In our therapy sessions, you can openly discuss your feelings, concerns, and aspirations without fear of judgment. Together, we'll delve into topics such as self-acceptance, coming out, relationship dynamics, and more.
Whether you're dealing with societal pressures, family dynamics, or personal identity questions, I'm here to offer guidance, support, and practical strategies to help you navigate through these complex issues. Your identity is valid, and your experiences are important.
As we work together, you'll gain insights into self-discovery, coping mechanisms, and building resilient relationships. Remember, you're not alone on this journey, and there's a community ready to stand with you.
Let's embark on this journey of self-discovery and empowerment together. Reach out to me today, and let's work on navigating the unique challenges and celebrating the beauty of your LGBT identity.

People who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, or other gender or sexual minorities often experience challenges that cis-gendered and heterosexual folks do not. These challenges may impact family, work, and social and intimate relationships. These include:
- Coming out: considering, preparing and processing
- Self-love and self-acceptance
- Processing related traumas: ie. bullying, discrimination, oppression, and homophobia
- Navigating complex family dynamics
- Exploring gender and sexual identity
- Exploring gender identity and sexual identity while in a relationship
- Career and workplace challenges
- Dating and marriage
- Body image concerns related to transitioning and gender identity
- Integrating cultural and religious identities
- Exploring polyamory, sex and kink
- Sexual health concerns/HIV/serodiscordant relationships
We also support family members who want to support their loved one and to process and accept their loved one's gender and sexual identity.
At New Moon Psychotherapy we understand the unique difficulties that come with diverse identities and intersections. Our therapists have specialized training and some have lived experience in the LGBTQ2S+ community. This offers a unique perspective and affirming, inclusive, and stigma-free support. We value the diversity of human identities and the fluidity of sexual and gender expression.
