The Florida Center for Healthy Sexuality
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, CST, CSAT
The Florida Center for Healthy Sexuality approaches LGBTQIA+ dynamics by understanding each client's unique subjective experience. Looking at unconscious conflicts, internalized societal (heteronormative) messages that can shape one's sexual and gender identity. Coupled with family dynamics, attachment patterns and cultural stigmas that can contribute to internalized feelings. We create a safe environment to investigate what lies under the water line and needs to be addressed to bring awareness into the equation.

Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Psychoanalyst, Psychotherapist
As a fellow queer person, I offer a space where identity can be explored slowly and honestly in the therapy room. Our work will pay attention to the unconscious ways your history, culture, and lived experiences shape how you understand yourself in the world. Therapy becomes a place to make meaning of what has been carried quietly, soften internal conflict, and move toward a way of living that feels more authentic.
