Transgender Therapists in Louisville, KY

You know you want therapy, but you’re nervous about choosing a therapist. What if you end up with someone you have to educate about your sexual orientation or relationship structure? Or someone who doesn’t understand your gender identity or respect your pronouns? What if your therapist is dismissive of how oppression has impacted your mental health, or can’t handle the trauma you’ve been through? If you've had these worries as you look for a therapist, I might be the one for you. The people whose lives don’t fit neatly into society’s boxes aren’t just my “clinical interest” – they’re my community.

I enjoy working with clients who have symptoms of depression, anxiety, burnout, and/or trauma. We will work collaboratively to set and work toward treatment goals. I love seeing clients thrive when they learn and implement healthy coping skills, self-care, and an improved relationship with themselves. There's a reason for behaviors and habits; in therapy, we will explore the root of these coping tactics that may have helped at one time but may not be working for you anymore. At this time, I accept Medicaid-insured and self-pay clients.

There are times when a person simply needs a sanctuary in which one can focus on what is working and not working in life. Therapy is an ideal place for this type of reflection. Therapy is also an active process that requires considerable patience, empathy, and a willingness to explore those parts of ourselves that require some attention and perhaps even need to change. I believe that you hold within yourself the capacity for change, and I am very willing to journey with you as a guide toward a more healthy and peaceful way of being.

I provide services to people who are seeking Identity Counseling, Trauma and Grief Counseling, Mood and Anxiety Counseling, and more. I foster a safe space for people who identify as LGBTQ+, LGBTQ+ allies, and people who are seeking behavioral health services. The core values for ODCC are Professionalism, Respect, Integrity, Diversity, and Excellence (PRIDE).

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate, based in Louisville, KY. I am currently providing services via telehealth and in person. I primarily work with adolescents and adults who are seeking help with mood disorders, anxiety, trauma, and substance use disorders. I also work with individuals in the LGBTQ+ community seeking LGBTQ+ affirmative therapy.

I believe it is important for us all to remember that no two people have the same story. Having the ability to own your story is the bravest thing a person can do. I enjoy creating a safe space that validates both you and your experiences. Empowering you in a way that allows you to discover the strength that is within you.

Have you been feeling lost, overwhelmed, or out of control lately? Is there a voice in your head telling you you are not good enough and can’t handle what life has to bring? If so, you are not alone and I am here to help. I’ve been working in the mental health field since 2012 when I started my journey to become a therapist. I have worked with adults and seniors coping with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, addiction, trauma, self esteem, communication challenges, and relationship concerns.

Currently Not Accepting New Clients. The decision to find a therapist usually comes at times of stress & change.

Hello, My name is Benny Massey and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor here in Louisville Kentucky. I have a private practice and my focus is helping others help themselves. My objective is clear, bring out the best in you by helping you identify and embrace the Altruistic Self.

Do negative self-thoughts keep you from accepting yourself or achieving accomplishments? Have you struggled with feelings of shame? Are you tired of past experiences, including trauma, dictating how you approach life & relationships today? Are you critical of yourself? Have you been stuck on an artistic endeavor or project? Are you ready to break through to a new athletic level? Is fear holding you back? By shifting how you view and talk to yourself, you can achieve these goals and much, much more. I work with teenagers age 14+ and adults & am particularly invested in the healing of members/families of the LGBTQIA+ community.

As Maya Angelou once so eloquently wrote: My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor and some style. Life is not only about surviving, it is about thriving. The ups and downs of daily life can sometimes take a toll on the strongest of minds and deepest of hearts. Together we can rebuild the connections needed to thrive in this world one step at a time, one day at a time.

Everyone experiences ups and downs. Forming a therapeutic partnership can help you sort out hardships and receive the support needed to accomplish your goals.

I work with teens and adults to better cope with trauma, depression, anxiety, significant life changes, LGBTQ+ issues, and existential fatigue. Through a collaborative approach I empower clients to enhance natural resilience while acknowledging sources of pain or discomfort.

I work collaboratively with those who are deeply curious about themselves and motivated to make deep, lasting change. My practice is LGBTQ-affirming and my specialties include depression, trauma, emotional neglect, and grief. I work with people who have endured all kinds of traumas and a wide range of life challenges. I am skilled in supporting teens and adults in all life stages who value living the examined life. Clients who seek me out are tired of repeating patterns and are ready for something new to emerge for themselves and their relationships.
