Particularly now, it's vital to have a protected place to process fears, trauma, identity questions, anger, grief, and a multitude of other concerns that are heightened for members of the LGBTQIA+ community. I hold a safe, non-judgemental, and open space for all individuals, and affirm the identities that are a part of who you are.

Christina Walthers
Counselor/Therapist, MS, APC
We queer folks often carry both the weight of being misunderstood and the beauty of finding ourselves outside of expectation. I'm especially passionate about supporting queer, trans, and gender-diverse folks (LGBTQ+ folks) and am committed to offering a space that is deeply affirming, grounded, and genuinely welcoming. Here, you do not have to translate yourself or explain the basics of your experience. You can simply be you, however you show up in the moment. Together, we make room for what has been painful, confusing, or isolating, while also staying close to what is resilient, creative, and uniquely yours. My hope is that you feel seen, respected, and met with care, and that our work supports a kind of healing and growth that feels authentic, empowering, and truly your own.

Dr. Anna Smith
Psychologist, PsyD, MEd, MA
Navigating coming out, identity exploration, minority stress, family rejection, or the unique challenges that can arise in queer, trans, or non-heteronormative relationships takes courage and support. I provide an affirming, kink- and trans-friendly space to process these experiences, reduce the weight of shame or external pressure, and build authentic connections—with yourself and with partners. Whether you’re working on individual identity, relationship dynamics, or creating the kind of intimacy that truly fits who you are, therapy here honors all parts of you.
10 Years Experience
Online in Columbus, GA Georgia (Online Only)
Columbus, Georgia is home to Fort Moore (formerly Fort Benning) — one of the US Army's largest installations and the home of the Army Infantry — creating a therapy community substantially shaped by the needs of soldiers, veterans, and military families dealing with combat trauma, moral injury, PTSD, and the emotional complexity of service life. The city's African American population comprises a majority of the civilian community, and culturally affirming therapists who work with racial identity and intergenerational resilience alongside the predominantly military therapy demand are an important part of the local landscape. Martin Army Community Hospital serves the military population, while Piedmont Columbus Regional provides civilian institutional mental health resources. Columbus shares some of its therapy ecosystem with Phenix City, Alabama directly across the Chattahoochee River, giving the metro a bi-state character.
