Homewood residents exploring gender and sexual identity can connect with affirming providers through Headway's network of 60K+ licensed professionals. Our open-minded team supports talk therapy and medication management with flexible virtual or in-person sessions. Many patients save up to 75% on care through insurance coverage, with some paying as low as $0 per session.
As a therapist dedicated to inner growth, I offer a space where we can delve into the parts of you that are intriguing and challenging. I draw from EMDR, Internal Family Systems, Attachment-Based approaches, and Mindfulness to support your journey. By integrating these methods, we'll explore the mind-body-spirit connection, and seek to understand the root causes of your struggles as opposed to just managing symptoms.
