Lakewood Ranch Therapists specializing in LGBTQ Issues

Ali Siewert

Being human is often tough. Sometimes we lose our way and can feel stuck and overwhelmed. Sometimes we would like to change parts of our lives or ourselves but don’t know how. Therapy can be an empowering way to promote healing, growth, and wellness. Often, we initially seek treatment to address a specific concern and then begin to uncover other areas of our lives in which we want to make meaningful change. My goal is for this process to feel supportive, affirming, and appropriately challenging.

I pride myself in being able to build an authentic relationship which each person I meet.

Change starts with small steps. Finding a therapist can seem intimidating, but in many ways it’s the first step toward the change you’re hoping for.  Finding a “right fit” therapist can tremendously empower you or your loved one to regain the confidence and happiness everyone deserves. It is crucial to build a trusting relationship with a therapist who can help you work through the decisions that you need to make in order to feel whole again in a safe and nonjudgmental environment.

Tammy Morath

I feel stuck and don't know how to move forward. Perhaps your relationship isn't where you want it to be or you're feeling stagnant professionally. Do you find trusting someone difficult? So many of us have felt this way and it can feel overwhelming and make us think "why bother." With therapy, you can move forward with purpose and reach the goals and dreams you have set for yourself. You can heal and reclaim your life. I look forward to being with you on this journey.

Terena Landowski

I firmly believe that the struggles we face in life are created within the context of our lives and relationships, and that healing happens within relationships as well. Developing a trusting relationship with my client is always my first focus in counseling. I have extensive experience working with clients (adults and teens) with depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use and psychotic disorders.

Abbie Aldridge

It can be lonely to feel like you are unseen, unheard, and that you're not understood as you are. At Healing Village, you are not alone, you are valid, and you are whole. Too often, individuals are reduced to who they love, who they are, or the sum of their parts, but are not seen as a whole person. At Healing Village, you'll have the freedom to explore what is preventing you from living the best version of yourself and to develop practical skills to move through whatever has you stuck.

Whitney Russell

It's easy to feel lost for answers, especially if it feels like you've tried everything to fix the problems you're facing. Maybe you're burnt out, the solutions you've tried aren't working, or you've experienced a big life disruption you don't know how to recover from. I help women and men who are struggling with stress, anxiety, self-esteem, grief, relational conflict, and anger; those who feel like they've drifted from their deepest desires for life. I get it, life is so hard to navigate!

We work together on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors and develop sustainable coping mechanisms. Common issues are anxiety, depression, self-harm, disordered eating, relationship issues, self-esteem/identity, and communication skills.
