Psychotherapists - Licensed or Registered

Individual psychotherapy and assessment. I work with English-speaking adults. I specialize in working with the LGBTQ+, kink/BDSM community, and neurodivergent community and understand the overlap between them all. I also do surgical readiness letters for the LGBTQ+ community.

I offer virtual therapy for clients in NC, TX and SC. I especially enjoy processing familial, platonic and romantic relationships along with identities. I have extensive experience working within the LGBTQ+ community including folks who identify as poly and non monogamous. I speak English and enjoy working with older teens and adults of all ages.

I help patients find the permission they need to give themselves in order to live their most full, most authentic lives. I facilitate modern, collaborative psychotherapy grounded in anti-oppressive frameworks that recognize the impact and importance of what happens in both the outside world and your own, unique interior emotional world. I work from my own lived and embodied experiences, and seek a deep understanding of yours, to guide and inform our work together, moving you towards a more grounded, authentic, connected life.

Whether the pain and disconnection you’re experiencing is related to your sense of self or your body, whether based in trauma, chronic pain or illness, gender dysphoria, chronic dieting, disordered eating, or related to struggles with relationship problems, LGBTQIA+/GSM issues such as claiming queerness, examining identity and sexuality, and navigating relationship dynamics, with chosen family and family of origin, friends, romantic and sexual partners and peers, I’m here to help. I’ll focus on cultivating a strong partnership with you, and in doing so, will help you better understand yourself and your relationships.

I work with patients aged 13+, individuals, families, couples and those in relationships of all structures. While all are welcome in my practice, I offer special insights for queer and trans folks and those living in larger bodies.

I work primarily with youth, adolescents, and young adults that identify with the LGBTQ* community, or are questioning their sexuality and/or gender. I work with my clients on their mental health concerns as well as inter-/intrapersonal conflicts related to their identities. My clients seek peace with themselves and those around them, and I meet them where they’re at to address any and all concerns they may have. My practice is strongly rooted in Solution-Focused Therapy in addition to using a trauma-informed, person-centered, strengths-based, and mindful approach. Personally, I am a very nonjudgmental, calm, and grounded person. I am currently offering Telehealth sessions with the hope of adding office-based sessions starting Summer 2021.

I work from an empathetic, accepting, and non-judgmental stance in which I affirm and celebrate differences including body positivity, sex/kink positivity, LGBTQIA, ethical non-monogamy, and non-neurotypical identities. I have advanced training in relational therapy. For example, I have a master’s degree in professional counseling with an emphasis on marriage, family, and couples. I am levels 1-3 trained in the Gottman method. I am also a certified Prepare/Enrich provider. I have experience providing sex therapy and am an ally for sex workers. My dissertation focused on therapist biases in the treatment of infidelity. I also have extensive experience providing divorce support. I have advanced training and experience with eating disorders, specifically bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder. Thus, I am body positive and a health at every size ally. I also have extensive experience with LGBTQIA+ identities and identify as pansexual. Additionally, as a latinx identifying individual, I am a racial justice ally who incorporates empowerment and social justice perspectives into my work. I’m also trained and experienced using prolonged exposure and CPT for the treatment of PTSD and incorporate a trauma informed lens in my work with clients. At this time, I only work with clients 18+.

You feel trapped in relentless “What if?” loops that pull at your sense of self. Every thought about your relationships, identity, or values can feel urgent, heavy, and impossible to ignore. What if your intrusive thoughts don’t mean what OCD says they do?

Whether you’re polyamorous, kinky, queer, transgender, or neurodivergent, you deserve support that sees, understands, and affirms all parts of you. That’s where I come in— I’m Mx. Lauren Johnson (he/him/his). As a non-monogamous, LGBTQIA+, Autistic, ADHD’er with lived experience of OCD, I’m passionate about providing affirming OCD therapy that honors your unique identities and neurotype.

Based on colonized land in Lynchburg, VA, I work with adults and teens (16+) via telehealth across Virginia, South Carolina, Florida, and Vermont. I specialize in “Pure O” OCD and mental compulsions, including themes such as relationship OCD (ROCD), harm OCD, sexual orientation OCD, gender identity OCD, scrupulosity/moral OCD, and meta-OCD.

My approach integrates Inference-Based CBT (I-CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Together, we’ll explore how OCD pulls you into imagined possibilities and practice responding based on what’s actually real and relevant— so you can rebuild self-trust, gain clarity, and move forward with more ease.

You don’t have to stay stuck in doubt. Take the first step toward clarity and self-trust today— book your free 15-minute video consultation (camera optional). Are you ready to see what’s possible for you?

I provide therapy to individuals and couples who are interested in polyamory, actively engaged in the lifestyle, or who are in need of support.

A little about me:

• My lens: Relationally, I work from a Feminist Gottman lens and am Gottman 3 trained. When working with individuals, I work from a Feminist Narrative ACT lens. My work is neurodivergent, LGBTQIA+, enm, poly and kink celebrating!
• Anxiety/OCD: Experience working with Anxiety disorders/OCD which can play into relationships; specifically R-OCD or relationship OCD. It can be important to treat the relationship issues with these dynamics in mind. These themes can look like reassurance seeking compulsions, uncertainty obsessions that can sound like: “Do I love them enough?,” “What if I’m uniquely bad or secretly hurting my partner(s)?,” &/or compulsively checking shared locations, text threads, social media, etc.
• Trauma: I’m trained in Written Exposure Therapy for treating PTSD, which is a shorter term model that can help significantly reduce distress more quickly and be more tolerable than longer term models for some clients.

I am an Energy Psychologist. I have studied western psychology and spiritual practices from around the world. I have taken the best of the best of what I have learned and created Ascension Psychology. The focus is usually on healing subconscious conflict from past life, ancestral patterns and childhood trauma. Attachment patterns are usually the first trauma and can create anxiety, depression, low self esteem and other relationship, mental, and emotional issues. I help people remove, resolve and heal the stuff that is not theirs and identify who they truly are and help them live authentically as themselves. In the process of doing this, people feel a whole lot better!

I work with adults aged 18 and above, all religions, gender, sexual orientation, etc. My main focus is on spiritual seekers and people that want to know the truth of who they are and the world around them. I have a special interest in the mind/body connection and healing the emotional, mental, and spiritual causes of physical disease so the body can heal itself.

I provide therapy for adults, couples, and families navigating identity, relationships, and family-building. I specialize in supporting LGBTQ+ clients, people going through fertility challenges, and those exploring polyamory or other non-traditional relationship structures. My work blends trauma-informed care, family systems, and CBT to help clients manage anxiety, depression, life transitions, and the unique challenges that come with creating and sustaining chosen families. Sessions are offered in English, and I strive to create a warm, affirming, and nonjudgmental space where all identities and experiences are honored.

As a counselor, I work with my clients to help facilitate growth, change, and healing. I believe that everyone has the ability to live a happy and meaningful life and to achieve emotional wellness. As each client is unique, I use a variety of skills and techniques to meet my clients’ needs in the way that feels comfortable and empowering for them. My theoretical orientation draws largely from acceptance and commitment therapy, mindfulness approaches, DBT, interpersonal neurobiology, and experiential models.

I work with individuals, couples, and adolescents. Areas of specialty include trauma, relationship challenges, personal growth, poly and kink dynamics, anxiety, self-harm, suicidal ideation, and depression.

Through talk therapy, I seek to help clients build healthier, happier relationships with their loved ones and themselves. Even in the most difficult situations, there are moments where that difficulty lessens. My clients and I explore what it would take to make those moments more frequent. Specializing in sex therapy, my style is solution focused, strength based, and systemic. Please reach out with any questions or concerns. Evening and Sunday appointments are available. Insurance is not accepted, but receipts will be provided for potential reimbursement.

My treatment approach is integrative and holistic, and centering the client’s treatment needs is my number one priority. I am mainly a psychodynamic, interpersonal, and attachment oriented therapist, but like to intersperse behavioral techniques as needed. As a sex-educator, I approach all my clients from a sex-positive, trauma-informed perspective.

My top priority as a clinician is working at the intersection of sexual and mental health. From my background as a sex educator, I am never one to shy away from uncomfortable and taboo topics. It is important to me to provide LGBTQ+, kink, non-monogamous, and sex work affirming care to my diverse caseload. Furthermore, as a social worker dedicated to the mission of social justice with a background in implicit bias research, providing accessible, culturally-humble care from an anti-oppressive framework is imperative to my clinical practice. I only speak English and I work with teens and adults.

I provide individual and couples counseling in a judgement free atmosphere. Please see website for more information. I offer some night and weekend appointments. I accept Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Aetna and private pay.

Laurin is a lifelong Texan who has never fit many of the stereotypes associated with being a Texan.

Introduction:

My approach is warm and nonjudgmental with a specific focus on LGBTQ+ issues. I also address the specialized challenges of the kink and poly communities, as well as areas where all three communities can intersect. My approach combines the power of mindfulness, bodily attunement and cognitive exploration, promoting self-acceptance and making space to process feelings in a safe and empathetic manner. Instead of focusing on a single prescriptive approach, we’ll work together to find the unique combination of tools that best address your specific needs. Through empowerment and support, you will define your own journey on your own terms.

Focus Areas:

• Family, relational, and religious trauma
• Narcissistic abuse
• Late and newly diagnosed ADHD
• LGBTQ+ issues including gender dysphoria
• Kink and poly relationship dynamics

Practice Highlights:

• Virtual in NJ and VA, in person in Richmond
• Trauma informed
• Neuro and gender affirming
• Kink and Poly knowledgeable
• Immediate availability for adult individuals

In my practice, my main and primary focus is on polyamorous, open, and ethically non-monogamous relationships. I provide LGBTQ+ affirming services and also interweave my knowledge around communication strategies that work for people engaging in open, polyamorous, and other ethically non-monogamous relationships. I speak English and work with adults. I have developed two courses on the subject matter of polyamory, one called “Polyamorous Ways of Loving” and “Being Polyamorous: A Roadmap for Success.” Those courses may be accessed at https://leah-hughes.teachable.com/. I also am excited to announce that I will have a companion book on the subject area of polyamory coming in 2021.

Drawing from my 35+ year career as a professor of anthropology specializing in sexuality, gender, marriage and partnering patterns, I am offering my knowledge and deep analysis with singles, couples and multiple-partner configurations. I am especially skilled at working with culturally diverse populations and issues including Polygamy, Arranged Marriage vs. Love Marriage, Culturally Imposed Virginity, Polyamory, Swinging, Cheating, Sexual Assault Accusations, Cybersex/Sexting, BDSM/Kink practices and LBGTQ identities.

My sessions offer a unique perspective drawing from years of research and teaching that can include reflection on history, culture, biology, psychology, ritual and spirituality. I may be one of the least judgmental and most insightful professionals you will ever meet!

My goal is to enable you to understand the social, cultural and family structures that have led you to seek help. Once we establish the ways the world around you has inhibited the core expression of all you can be and how you might love, we will work to reposition harmful and limiting paradigms. Working with me can be a deep adventure in discovering “what else is possible.”

I provide both in-office and online therapy for individuals, couples, and families warmly welcoming those aged 13+ of all identities in polyamorous lifestyles, helping them address their unique needs and build fulfilling, balanced lives. I’m here to support you in a safe, affirming space where you can explore and grow.

I draw on various therapeutic approaches including:

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
• Short-Term Solution Focused Therapy
