LGBT Issues
Cassandra Sissom
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LCPC
You may have picked up negative messages about being different without even realizing it as a child. These outside attitudes can stick with you and lead to feelings of shame about who you are. Even as an adult, these childhood messages can affect how you see yourself and how you connect with others. I provide welcoming, safe, and supportive help for people looking to understand their identities, relationships, and the challenges they face. I create a safe and understanding environment where you can talk about things like coming out, family relationships, self-acceptance, discrimination, and mental health. Using proven methods and a strong awareness of LGBTQ+ experiences, I help clients deal with personal and social challenges, build strength, and feel comfortable being themselves. I want to help each client discover their strength, pride, and happiness on their journey.

Sushma Cheturvedula
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
I'd be there for someone dealing with LGBT issues by making sure they have a comfortable and supportive space to talk about what they're going through. We'd talk about any tough emotions or past traumas related to their identity or coming out journey, helping them figure things out and feel accepted. If they're struggling with PTSD from discrimination or past traumas, I'd help them manage those symptoms too. When it comes to relationships, we'd work on navigating the ups and downs, dealing with communication issues, and finding support from others in the LGBT community. The main goal is to help them feel confident in who they are, boost their mental health, and build strong, meaningful connections.
