North Springfield, Virginia therapist: Friendly Psychology, LLC ~ Rachel W. Friendly, Ph.D., psychologist
LGBTQ+

Friendly Psychology, LLC ~ Rachel W. Friendly, Ph.D.

Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
It can be so hard to find affirming, safe spaces where we can explore our whole, authentic selves - where we can truly be all of us, in our largeness, our messiness, and our queerness. And especially these days, gender expansiveness can feel particularly scary. Gender trauma is real - but living inauthentically is impossible. I work with queer and gender expansive adults who want to live authentically and explore their true selves, but who might not know where to start. We will explore what is holding you back, so that you can start to craft a more joyful, more meaningful life. We will unpack the internalized messages that often lead to self-doubt or shame. And we will work on replacing those messages with curiosity, self-love, and self-compassion. Together, we can help you to become your truest, most beautiful self.

Arlington, Virginia therapist: Peter Gould, psychologist
LGBTQ+

Peter Gould

Psychologist, Ph.D.
As a licensed clinical psychologist, I offer compassionate and effective treatment for members of the LGBTQ+ community. My approach, guided by evidence-based therapies, is tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual. Coming out is a deeply personal and transformative experience that can significantly impact mental health, often leading to emotions such as anxiety and depression. Addressing these mental health considerations is crucial for ensuring a supportive and healthy journey. Individuals may struggle with feelings of isolation, difficulty revealing their true selves to family members, and defending their identity. My expertise extends beyond the coming-out process to include support for those who feel unsupported in their personal lives. I focus on helping clients feel more comfortable living authentically, navigate experiences of rejection, and gain a deeper understanding of their sexuality.
