Stephanie Ennen
Therapist, LPC,LCPC, LMHC
I provide a safe and affirming space for individuals within the LGBTQ+ community to explore their identities, navigate personal challenges, and address the unique stressors that can arise from societal pressures, discrimination, and relationship dynamics.
In our sessions, we will focus on understanding and embracing your identity, whether you’re grappling with questions about sexual orientation, gender identity, or the coming-out process. I utilize an affirmative therapeutic approach that validates your experiences and fosters a sense of belonging and self-acceptance.
Together, we will address any feelings of anxiety, depression, or isolation that may stem from experiences of marginalization or internal conflict. I draw on techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness practices to help you develop coping strategies, enhance emotional resilience, and improve self-esteem.
Additionally, I emphasize psychoeducation, providing you with information about the complexities of LGBTQ+ identities and the impact of societal factors on mental health. This knowledge can empower you to advocate for yourself and build supportive networks.
My goal is to create a compassionate and inclusive environment where you can express your thoughts and feelings openly. Together, we can work towards personal growth, healthier relationships, and a deeper sense of authenticity in your life.
