LGBT related issues are so complex and individual. They require lots of special training and a holistic approach. I have years of training and experience in working with this issue.

LGBTQ+ Issues
Inner Balance Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
I work with LGBTQ+ adults whose mental health concerns are rooted in trauma, identity-related stress, and systemic or relational harm. Rather than treating identity as the problem, therapy focuses on the impact of rejection, shame, minority stress, and complex trauma. Treatment emphasizes safety, self-acceptance, and healing from experiences that have made it unsafe to be fully yourself.

LGBTQ+ Issues
Brittany Shannon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
For many people, trauma is not always a single event. It often comes from repeated experiences of discrimination, invalidation, or feeling/being unsafe being fully yourself. These are real and cumulative stressors that impact how you see yourself and how you relate to others. In therapy, those experiences are not minimized or treated as secondary. They are central to the work. I use evidence-based treatments and adapt them to fit your specific lived experience, including approaches like Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET), which allows us to integrate both positive and painful experiences into a more complete and grounded sense of self. The goal is not just symptom relief, but helping you move through the world with more clarity, stability, and self-trust.
