Got Questions? We've Got Answers! (FAQs)
Can therapy help if I'm LGBTQ+ but still feel guilty about 'sinful' religious teachings?
Absolutely. We specialize in:
- Untangling internalized shame from queer identity
- Rebuilding self-worth without religious conditions
- Creating new spiritual frameworks (or rejecting spirituality altogether)
You'll find zero pressure to "choose sides" - just space to heal on your terms.
What if my anxiety makes it hard to even talk in sessions?
Many neurodivergent clients worry about this. At Violet Counseling:
- You can type responses instead of speaking
- Bring fidget/stim tools
- Use our "stoplight" system (red/yellow/green cards) to communicate comfort levels
- Take movement breaks during telehealth sessions
I'm not 'out' at work/church/home - can we still discuss gender identity safely?
Yes. We protect your privacy by:
- Using your preferred name/pronouns only in session
- Helping craft "safe" language for dual-life situations
- Never pushing you to come out before you're ready
Do you help with the anger part of grief? I'm tired of being told to 'find peace.'
Anger is welcome here. We'll:
- Explore its protective role without spiritual bypassing
- Channel rage into creative/embodied practices (no forced forgiveness)
- Honor how anger often masks deeper wounds
Can we focus on career stress if my ADHD makes traditional jobs impossible?
Specialty support for neurodivergent work struggles includes:
- Identifying workplace accommodations
- Navigating disclosure decisions
- Building "masking recovery" routines
- Exploring unconventional career paths that fit your brain
No more pretending to thrive in broken systems.
