Anthony Canapi - Your Queer Relationship Therapist
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, AMFT
Being LGBTQPIA2S+ in a world that often misunderstands or marginalizes your identity can shape how you move through relationships, family systems, work, dating, and self-worth. You might be navigating coming out, cultural expectations, faith conflicts, chosen family, gender exploration, or simply the exhaustion of explaining yourself.
My work is grounded in LGBTQ+ affirmative psychology and lived experience. Therapy with me is not about defending your identity- it’s about deepening into it. Together, we’ll create space to unpack internalized messages, strengthen self-trust, explore authenticity, and build relationships that honor who you truly are. You deserve spaces where you are celebrated, not tolerated.

LGBTQ+ Issues
Laura Anderson LPCC, Eff Shame Therapy
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
You deserve a space where you are fully seen, not explained or tolerated. I work with LGBTQIA+ clients from a shame-free, sex-positive perspective, bringing years of experience and genuine investment in the specific ways that systemic harm, family rejection, religious trauma, and identity-based shame show up in our lives and bodies. I am completing certification in sexuality therapy and work from a trauma-informed approach that gets beneath the surface — because you came here to actually heal, not just be accepted. You already deserve acceptance. Let's get to the rest.
