LGBT therapists in Pensacola, FL

Hi, I'm Annie! I am a licensed clinical social worker with over seven years of experience in helping people reconnect with themselves and find clarity about the things that are most troubling to them. Existence is hard, but I firmly believe that connection with one another is what enables us to heal, find belonging, and grow into the best versions of ourselves.

My intention is to provide a judgment-free space where we can talk about what is going on and collaborate to move forwards in the best way possible. I am flexible in my approach to counseling, and I tailor my counseling style based on the needs of each person I work with. I enjoy working with a wide range of clients (age, gender, concerns, etc.) and I am passionate about what I do. I am into fitness and healthy lifestyle, and I support my clients with creating their own foundation of wellness.

Hi, I'm Lauren. I've been working as a therapist and mental health advocate for the past 9 years and I received my license in 2023. My specialty is working with young adults, the LGBTQ+ community, women, and survivors of trauma. I do have extensive experience working with children and adolescents as well.

My training and expertise cover working with the following: ADHD, anxiety disorders, sexual trauma, mood disorders (including depression), and PTSD.

Some common topics I specialize in include: relationship and family concerns, low motivation, social anxiety, anger, domestic violence, childhood trauma, grief, negative body/self image, gender identity, and managing life transitions such as moving, job loss, and break-ups.

A few personal things about me to help break the ice- My hobbies include making art, cooking, gardening (badly), playing video games, and watching films. I am an avid reader of fiction and fantasy novels.

I approach work with my patients with genuineness, unconditional positive regard, and empathy. I work with my patients according to their goals in a collaborative manner. I also meet my patients where they are, with challenges that are digestible.

I believe that therapy is a cooperative, mutual experience that changes all involved. I have a welcoming and empathetic approach that helps clients feel comfortable with the therapeutic process. I earned my master's degree from the University of South Florida in Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling. I have been working in private practice since 2020. I specialize in working with the queer community, relational and religious trauma, and highly sensitive individuals.

I work with individuals and couples navigating a wide range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, and difficult life transitions. I have particular experience supporting individuals struggling to process grief and loss, or past trauma. My practice includes working with people coping with low self-esteem, substance use, infertility, postpartum mental health concerns, menopause, infidelity, and divorce. I also have specialized clinical experience working with those struggling with chronic illness and chronic pain, caregivers supporting loved ones with Dementia, and clients affected by family estrangement.

My clinical approach is grounded in inclusivity, respect, and social awareness. I am affirming of LGBTQI+ identities, supportive of immigrants, and committed to human rights. I actively work against racism and strive to create a space where all clients feel seen, and safe to explore their experiences.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Professional Mental Health Clinician, and Life Coach with over 25 years of experience providing inpatient and outpatient mental health therapy, as well as more than 30 years of working alongside individuals to help them create meaningful and lasting change in their lives. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Social Work from Florida State University, a master’s degree in Clinical Social Work from the University of Georgia, and I am an active member of the Phi Alpha Honor Society.

I believe that the most powerful change happens when clients feel safe, accepted, and empowered to be themselves. My ideal client is motivated, engaged, and open to self-reflection—but in truth, everyone is welcome in my practice. Whether you’re struggling with past trauma, navigating current challenges, or simply looking to grow, my goal is to provide a supportive, judgment-free space where we can work together toward your goals. More importantly, EVERYONE is welcome to my practice!
