You’re exhausted by trying to fit into everyone’s expectations of you. What if you could feel more connected to your true self?

You might not even remember a time when things didn’t feel this way. But one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to feel peaceful and grounded. You’re ready to feel more connected and satisfied in your relationships. Most of all, you’re ready to love yourself and face your future with passion and purpose.

Working in public education - 10 years as a teacher, and 9+ years as a school counselor - I have had opportunities to foster growth not only among my student-clients, but their families, as well. Childhood experiences define who we are and how we respond to challenges as adults, so it is important for me to connect with the whole person.

Greetings, I am Dr. Seleena Smith.

This shift led to the creation of REAL Liberation Coaching and Consultation Services (Restore, Empower, Align, and Love) and I am focused on helping my community heal. I strive to help high functioning clients find liberation and joy in their lives in a discrete, nonjudgmental, and safe space, while also helping them to reach their personal and professional goals.

Well, sh-t’s hit the fan, big time. Maybe you’ve gotten lost in a world of online fantasies that seemed harmless … until they weren’t. Or you crossed the line with a coworker, or have been measuring your self-worth in Tinder swipes. Or perhaps you're the other half, totally blindsided, feeling like you've just crash-landed in the middle of an emotional earthquake. It’s a mess, right? Not just the sneaky stuff, but the whole hurricane it’s whipped up – your day-to-day, your peace of mind, your connection with each other. You’re both knee-deep in this chaos, and it’s anything but simple.

Sometimes, life can be difficult. We suffer more when we fight, resist or avoid painful thoughts, feelings, memories or sensations. Living a value-driven life is challenging when we do this. A value-driven life is one where we continue to do the things that are important to us.

One of the deepest forms of suffering we create for ourselves is believing, “Something is wrong with me.” Chronic self-judgment, depression, anxiety, and shame can make it challenging to live with balance and purpose. Suffering is often worsened by isolation and disconnection from our emotional pain. Feelings of inadequacy make it difficult to be at home in our own body, heart, and mind, and keep us from living and loving life fully. Often, the first step toward healing is a trusting, respectful, non-judgmental, and caring therapy relationship.

LGBTQ+ Therapists
Do LGBTQ-affirmative therapists receive special training?
Yes. Many therapists who practice LGBTQ-affirmative therapy have completed specialized training, either during their degree program or as continuing education, to learn the core principles of affirmative therapy and how to best support their LGBTQ clients; some have received certifications in LGBTQ-affirmative therapy. Prospective clients should inquire as to a clinician’s background and training to ensure a good fit.
Why might I want to see an LGBTQ-affirming or LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
Queer and gender-non-conforming individuals frequently experience bias and marginalization in day-to-day life. Working with a therapist who understands these unique challenges, as well as accepts and affirms their identity, can help LGBTQ clients feel safe and supported during therapy—allowing them to better navigate their relationships, mental health, and anything else that they wish to explore during therapy. It is important to note that many therapists can be effective in their work with LGBTQ+ individuals, even in the absence of specific training or background knowledge. The most important component in therapy is the alliance between therapist and client, and this alliance can exist between individuals with very different backgrounds.
How can I find an LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
You may wish to inquire about a therapist’s expertise with your specific challenges or concerns—depression, for example, or relationship strife—as well as their past experiences treating LGBTQ+ clients. Prospective clients may also ask whether a therapist has obtained additional training and/or certification in LGBTQ-affirmative techniques.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience with LGBTQ issues?
Prospective clients should feel empowered to directly ask therapists whether they have received training or been certified in LGBTQ-affirming therapy; competent therapists will be happy to explain their educational background and preferred approach(es) to help a client find the best match for them. Clients may also wish to ask how a therapist has treated clients with their particular challenges in the past and what they expect treatment to look like.
Are all the therapists listed in the LGBTQ directory themselves members of the LGBTQ community?
While therapists may choose to disclose their sexual orientation or gender identity in their profiles, the LGBTQ directory features not only those who have shared this information but also those who assert specialized training or experience in providing support to queer individuals, couples or families.
