TyaCamellia (Tya) Stone
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Do you find yourself hiding or pretending in order to avoid conflict or discomfort from others? Do expectations from others not align with what’s true to you? Does your gender identity fall between the binary, or are you in the process of transitioning?
You deserve a life where you are authentically YOU!
Living out and proud isn’t easy...
It can be difficult to connect with others, especially when you don’t feel connected with yourself. You’re infested with thoughts and worries that make you hesitate from doing things that are good for you. You’re scared of how others will treat you, and you aren’t sure how to handle these difficult conversations and situations. You feel pressure to have everything figured out before you are allowed to say who you are. You may find yourself avoiding situations, or holding yourself back from other people. Sometimes you feel selfish for wanting to prioritize yourself over the convenience of others. You feel disconnected from society, your sense of self, and even your own body. You’re scared to embrace change and the consequences that come with it.
I Will Help You:
Process microaggressions and trauma.
Learn practical skills to overcome the fear and anxiety that make you hesitate from stepping into your identity.
Navigate potential blowout during and after coming out.
Clearly set and maintain boundaries in a way that is kind to yourself and others.
Confidently ask for what you want, and declare what you need — without feeling guilty.
Develop a strong, positive sense of self that is balanced and well-rounded.
Connect with your intuition, and learn to listen to it.
Cultivating a positive sense of self may not be easy, but it can be simple!

Micha Noble, MA
Pre-Licensed Professional, AMFT
Much of my clinical training has been with the LGBTQIA communities. I specialize in helping clients navigate coming out experiences, anxiety, depression, trauma, and bereavement. I also recognize the ways societal oppression impacts marginalized voices. In therapy, we value creating a safe, warm, trusting environment where you will develop new insight into your life and cultivate new strategies to meet your goals. You are not meant to do this alone and we would be honored to help you along your journey!
