Mia Turner
Therapist, MA, RYT, ASDCS, LMFT, NPT-C, CMNCS, CMIP
Therapy for LGBTQIA2S+ individuals seeking a space where identity does not need to be explained, defended, minimized, or translated. My work supports people navigating gender, sexuality, relationships, family dynamics, community, spirituality, belonging, life transitions, and the ongoing process of living more fully in alignment with who they are.
This work is grounded in intersectionality, liberation, and the understanding that distress often emerges not from identity itself, but from the cumulative impact of navigating environments, systems, relationships, and cultural narratives that have not always made room for difference. Particular attention is given to the experiences of queer, trans, nonbinary, neurodivergent, disabled, chronically ill, highly sensitive, BIPOC, multicultural, and otherwise multiply marginalized individuals whose identities and experiences often exist across multiple worlds at once.
Exploration may include the impacts of masking, self-silencing, code-switching, hypervigilance, rejection, invisibility, family expectations, religious experiences, cultural belonging, internalized shame, identity-based trauma, and the exhaustion that can come from continually adapting in order to be accepted, understood, or safe. It may also include making space for joy, pleasure, desire, authenticity, connection, creativity, chosen family, and the parts of yourself that have had fewer opportunities to be fully expressed.
My approach integrates EMDR, somatic therapy, mindfulness, parts work, expressive arts, neuropsychotherapy, attachment-focused therapy, and liberation-oriented healing. Rather than focusing on who you should become, the work centers listening more deeply to who you already are. Support is offered in cultivating self-trust, nervous system safety, embodied authenticity, meaningful connection, and a life that feels more aligned with your values, relationships, needs, and ways of moving through the world.

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.

Mary Gonzalez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Everyone deserves a space where they can be fully seen, respected, and affirmed. At Holding Space Therapy, we provide LGBTQ+ affirming, trauma-informed therapy that honors your identity, relationships, and lived experiences. Whether you're exploring your identity, navigating coming out, managing family or relationship challenges, coping with discrimination, or addressing anxiety, depression, trauma, or stress, therapy offers a safe and supportive place to be yourself without fear of judgment.
Many LGBTQ+ individuals face unique stressors, including minority stress, rejection, social stigma, identity-related concerns, and the emotional impact of living in environments where they may not feel fully accepted. These experiences can contribute to anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, trauma responses, and difficulties in relationships. Therapy provides an opportunity to process these experiences while strengthening resilience, self-acceptance, and emotional well-being.
Our approach is collaborative, culturally responsive, and tailored to your individual goals. Using evidence-based therapies such as EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and trauma-informed care, we'll work together to help you navigate life's challenges, heal from painful experiences, improve emotional regulation, establish healthy boundaries, and build greater confidence in yourself and your relationships.
We recognize that your identity is one part of who you are—not something that needs to be changed or "fixed." Our role is to support you in living authentically, processing life's challenges, and developing the tools needed to create a life that feels meaningful, connected, and aligned with your values. Whether you're seeking support for identity exploration, relationship concerns, trauma, or everyday life stressors, Holding Space Therapy is committed to providing an inclusive, affirming environment where you feel safe, empowered, and supported throughout your healing journey.
