You Deserve to Be Fully Yourself.
VIRTUAL THERAPY AVAILABLE THROUGHOUT CALIFORNIA & FLORIDA
Living authentically shouldn't feel this hard...
Whether you're exploring your identity, coming out, navigating relationships, healing from discrimination or rejection, or simply looking for a therapist who truly gets it, you deserve a space where you don't have to explain or defend who you are. Therapy can be a place to unpack the weight you've been carrying and reconnect with yourself without fear of judgment.
You might feel...
Like you've spent your life hiding parts of yourself to feel accepted.
Exhausted from constantly explaining or defending your identity.
Unsure how to set boundaries with family, friends, or your community.
Struggling with anxiety, depression, or low self-worth after years of feeling misunderstood.
Carrying the effects of rejection, discrimination, or religious trauma.
Wondering where you belong or feeling disconnected from yourself.
Ready to stop surviving and start living more authentically.
LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy offers...
A space where your identity isn't questioned, explained away, or treated as a problem to fix. Together, we'll explore your experiences with compassion, process the impact of trauma and minority stress, strengthen your sense of self, and help you build a life that feels authentic, connected, and aligned with your values.
Does this feel familiar?
You feel like you're constantly balancing who you are with who others expect you to be.
No matter how much you've accomplished or how confidently you present yourself, there's still a part of you that's tired of carrying the weight of other people's expectations, judgments, or assumptions. Maybe you've learned to make yourself smaller, stay quiet, or prioritize everyone else's comfort over your own.
You want more than simply getting by. You want relationships where you feel accepted, a life where you don't have to hide, and the freedom to exist as your authentic self without apology.
You're tired of feeling like you have to earn belonging.
In our work together, we will...
Create a space where every part of you is welcome. Together, we'll explore the experiences that have shaped your sense of self, process the impact of trauma, discrimination, and relationship wounds, strengthen self-compassion, and build practical tools to help you navigate life's challenges with greater confidence and resilience. My goal is to help you feel more connected to yourself, more secure in your relationships, and empowered to live authentically.
MEET YOUR LGBTQIA+ THERAPIST IN PALM BAY, FL
Hi, I'm Leticia, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC), Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), and Perinatal Mental Health Certified (PMH-C) therapist. I provide LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy for adults navigating identity exploration, relationships, trauma, anxiety, eating disorders, and major life transitions. My office is a space where you don't have to educate your therapist, minimize your experiences, or wonder whether you'll be accepted.
Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working alongside LGBTQIA+ individuals from many different backgrounds and identities. My approach is trauma-informed, intersectional, and rooted in the belief that healing happens when people feel genuinely seen, respected, and safe enough to show up as their whole selves.
Here's why this work matters so deeply to me: No one should have to carry the weight of shame, rejection, or discrimination alone. I believe every person deserves relationships where they feel safe, communities where they belong, and the freedom to live authentically. Therapy can be a place where you reconnect with your strengths, reclaim your voice, and create a life that reflects who you truly are—not who you've been told you should be.
I know you’re tired of feeling…
...like you have to edit yourself depending on who's in the room. You're exhausted from questioning whether you'll be accepted, carrying the impact of rejection or discrimination, and feeling like you have to prove your worth just to belong. Maybe you've spent years putting other people's comfort before your own, leaving little room to discover who you really are.
You want to feel comfortable in your own skin. You long for relationships where you can be fully seen, boundaries that protect your peace, and the confidence to take up space without apologizing for who you are.
LGBTQIA+ Therapy in Palm Bay, FL can help!
You’ve been surviving for so long…
Imagine what it would feel like to move through the world without constantly questioning whether you're "too much" or "not enough." Imagine trusting yourself, embracing your identity with confidence, and building relationships where you feel genuinely accepted and valued.
Imagine living a life guided by your own values instead of fear, shame, or other people's expectations. You deserve more than surviving—you deserve to feel safe, connected, and free to be your authentic self.

LGBTQIA+ Therapy FAQs
-
Not at all. Whether you're questioning your identity, exploring it privately, selectively out, or openly living as yourself, therapy is a space where you can move at your own pace without pressure or expectations.
-
That's one of the most important questions you can ask — and the fact that you're asking it makes complete sense.
Being misgendered, having your identity treated as the problem, or sitting with a therapist who meant well but just didn't get it. Those experiences are real, and they leave a mark.
This space was built with that in mind. Your identity isn't something to be explored with curiosity or navigated carefully here — it's simply honored. There are no hidden assumptions about who you are or who you should be, no moment where you'll need to manage my reaction.
I can't promise perfection. What I can promise is that if something doesn't feel right, we talk about it. Your comfort and safety in this space matter, and that includes feeling safe enough to tell me when something isn't working.
-
Yes. I affirm and support clients in polyamorous, non-monogamous, chosen family, and other non-traditional relationship setups. Your relationships don’t need to fit a mold to be respected here.
-
Absolutely. Many LGBTQIA+ folks carry shame or fear rooted in spiritual or religious upbringing. I specialize in working with clients navigating these intersections, especially when faith has been used to cause harm.
-
Absolutely. You don't need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. Whether you're exploring your sexual orientation, gender identity, or simply trying to understand yourself more deeply, therapy offers a supportive space for exploration without judgment.
-
My fee for services is $225 per 50-minute session. I have a limited amount of sliding scale slots that will be prioritized for BIPOC or LGBTQIA+ clients. There is no guarantee that any of these will be available at the time you call. Please let me know if you need sliding scale fees during our call. If I cannot accommodate, I am happy to point you in a direction to meet your financial needs.
