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.

LGBT Issues
Tara Thompson
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
LGBT issues can have a significant impact on individuals dealing with addictions, relationship issues, or depression. Someone who is struggling with their sexual orientation or gender identity may experience discrimination, rejection, or internalized shame, which can contribute to feelings of isolation and exacerbate existing mental health concerns. As a therapist specializing in these cases, I would provide a supportive and affirming space for individuals to explore their feelings and experiences. I would help them navigate the challenges associated with their identity, such as coming out to loved ones or dealing with societal stigma. This might involve providing resources and referrals to LGBT-affirming support groups or organizations, facilitating discussions about healthy relationships and boundaries within the context of their sexual orientation or gender identity, and offering validation and encouragement as they work towards self-acceptance and empowerment.
