Just like any other group, the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and questioning (LGBTQ) community faces mental health issues and unique challenges. However, LGBTQ individuals are almost 3 times more likely than others to experience a mental health condition, such as depression or anxiety. Additionally, more than half of individuals who identify as transgender experience depression or anxiety. The LGBTQ community is also at a higher risk for suicide. Young people are even more at risk, as they may experience a lack of support at home and fear, hatred or prejudice in school. If you are a member of the LGBTQ community and are facing mental health challenges, you don’t have to suffer in silence. Reach out to one of TherapyDen’s LGBTQ experts and get help today.
Are you struggling to communicate with your loved ones? Do you experience anxiety or fear about being close to people? Are you feeling unsatisfied in your relationships? Do you struggle with self-worth and fear what others will think of the "real" you? I assure you it's not too late even if this is how things have always been. There is hope for your happiness and wellbeing. I will help you tap into your inner strength and together, we will take steps towards what you truly desire.

You and I will explore together the full expanse of who you are. What brings you alive? What do you want to understand? How you are bearing the world? How do you experience love and pain, growth and suffering? I work with adult individuals interested in the journey of healing-- in body, mind, and spirit. As we talk through what is going on in your life, we will harness your body's wisdom and the power of the nervous system to generate a greater sense of wholeness and freedom.
With over 7 years of experience in the field, I specialize in working with depression, anxiety, PTSD, suicidality, high-risk behaviors, harm reduction, crisis deescalation, and LGBTQ identity exploration. For the past couple of years, I’ve focused my practice on working as a suicide prevention therapist with youth and young adults. My approach is rooted in centering the individual, a structural analysis of the systems we struggle with daily, a sense of justice, empathy, and radical acceptance.

I specialize in working with adults and older adults who are experiencing depression, anxiety, and/or going through life transitions - whether that's career, relationship, or restarting your life. Having worked in the healthcare setting, I am well versed in working with healthcare professionals navigating burnout. I enjoy working with individuals within the LGBTQIA+ community and individuals practicing/exploring non-traditional relationships (e.g., ethical non-monogamy, kink)

Being human is often tough. Sometimes we lose our way and can feel stuck and overwhelmed. Sometimes we would like to change parts of our lives or ourselves but don’t know how. Therapy can be an empowering way to promote healing, growth, and wellness. Often, we initially seek treatment to address a specific concern and then begin to uncover other areas of our lives in which we want to make meaningful change. My goal is for this process to feel supportive, affirming, and appropriately challenging.

You are here because you're looking for help - stress, anxiety, depression, life's transitions, or just a final attempt to “make it better.” I am here to sit with you, hear your story, and look at what is weighing you down. While I work best with those who lead with openness, curiosity and a true desire for personal growth, I also recognize folx show up in different places in life's emotional experience. Therapy is a journey back to a place of hope and belonging, and it is my honor to join you.

I work with individuals and families ages 12 and up. I have experience supporting gender diverse and queer people of all ages in their transitions and as they navigate family dynamics and reckon with the effects of oppression. Anxiety and Depression are logical responses to bullying and systemic oppression, but I love helping people develop alternate, more preferred responses. It is a delight to support you in reclaiming power and joy as you move more fully into your authentic self.

On the outside, it seems like everything is in place, but underneath, anxiety has been a constant companion. Juggling college or starting your career, navigating relationships, & handling the pressures of young adulthood can feel like an uphill battle. You're caught between striving for success & feeling overwhelmed by the weight of expectations. Balancing it all seems like an unreachable goal. Yet, in the midst of this chaos, you recognize the need for change.

I work to help those with marginalized identities (sexually & gender queer, BIPOC, trans) to heal chronic struggles with trauma, anxiety, and depression. I use my passion for depth work, mindfulness, and self-compassion to build space in which you can know yourself more fully and live more authentically. I help to cultivate more safety and joy in your relationships with others, and with yourself. I make space for you to face the parts of you that are hardest to feel.

Appearing like you "have it all together” can look so easy on the outside, when really you’re struggling deeply inside but feel you can’t break down because others are counting on you and you’ve set high expectations for yourself. If this is you, I get it. I’ve been there and sometimes it can feel impossible to get off the hamster wheel that has been set in motion.

Whether you are finding yourself repeating a pattern that you'd like to change, feeling overwhelmed or out of control, or simply looking for a place of support, therapy is a place where you can grow an authentic connection with yourself and others. I see adults and adolescents (+13) who are struggling with a range of concerns, including identity, relationships, communication, and the impacts of trauma, grief, and shame. I treat mood disorders, depression, anxiety, and panic.

My hope is to take the relationship we build and extend it to the rest of your life outside of the therapy room. I approach therapy with the assumption that clients aren’t trying to make their lives harder, but often that our attempts to manage distress may increase suffering. Through our work together, we will focus on identifying strengths and values that are guiding behavior, and then challenging and changing the unhelpful aspects and thought patterns that make reaching your goals difficult.

Over the last five years I have worked with adults struggling with anxiety, depression, chronic pain, shame, self-harm, suicidal ideation, interpersonal relationships, past trauma, recent trauma, and those who are exploring sexuality and gender identities. I have practiced in a variety of settings and previous clients of mine have had a very wide range of ages, mental health symptoms, identities, life goals, trauma histories, cultural backgrounds, neurodiversities, and lived experiences.

You deserve to be a priority in your own life. Most of my clients have a history of surviving trauma, neglect, and relational harm; this can lead to becoming stuck in survival mode which often times conflicts with living mode. I work primarily with neurodivergent and LGBTQIA2S folks who are ready to approach their struggles in a new way. We can work together to restore your sense of self and your ability to direct your life on your terms to achieve your goals!

IMPORTANT NOTE: I am accepting new clients if consultation proves a good match; OOP or Premera preferred. I am also taking new clients as a trauma writing mentor/editor and more. Writing your way through healing, in my view, is at least of equal value to psychotherapy. If you are interested in these services, please visit me at www.elihastings.com). I would be DELIGHTED to work in tandem with other therapists! Ideal clients are folks w CPTSD but normative or high functioning. My
