I work best with driven people experiencing a big change. Perhaps, despite your best efforts, things aren’t working out as you’d hoped. Or perhaps you’ve gotten all you wanted and it doesn’t satisfy. I work often with D1 athletes & pros (as well as their family members). I love supporting the romantic partners of people in the public eye. Though I often work with athletes I am not a Sports Psych. In fact, I don’t even follow sports! I’m here for the rest of your life and identity.

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding an LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist in Memphis starts with identifying what kind of support you're looking for. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, identity exploration, or the emotional impact of discrimination, a provider who understands LGBTQIA+ experiences can make a meaningful difference. Look for a licensed provider — such as an LPC, LCSW, psychologist, or psychiatrist — who specifically lists LGBTQIA+ affirming care as a specialty, not just a general category.
Beyond credentials, consider what matters most to you in a provider. Reading a detailed bio can help you understand a therapist's approach, background, and the types of concerns they work with most often. Practical factors like session format (in-person or virtual), availability, and location within Memphis also matter — especially if you're balancing a busy schedule. A free phone consultation, when available, gives you a chance to ask questions and see if the provider feels like a good match before committing to a full session.
Therapy in Memphis can be expensive without insurance, but affordable options exist when you use in-network coverage. Checking your insurance benefits before booking is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay out of pocket. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find an affirming provider who fits both your needs and your budget.
