Building Community & Holding Space with Queer Folks

Description

Living in our cis-het-dominated world leaves its mark on Queer folks and it makes sense that you're impacted by it, too. Are you someone who experiences the world more intensely or with more big feels than others seem to? Does feeling *different* all the time push you to over-function or over-achieve at work, in your relationships, or other areas of life? This strategy makes so much sense to me as a Queer, nonbinary, recovering-perfectionist, late-diagnosed neurodivergent person, who's done lots of my own trauma therapy and been developing as a therapist for over 10 years. Join our 12-week, virtual therapy group, which is designed to be safe(er) & affirming so you can stop trying to prove yourself to everyone and start learning how to let down the mask and figure out what it means to nurture your true self.

This group will focus on developing meaningful connections to ward off the loneliness and isolation, build on resiliency factors through supportive community, and prioritize making shifts that help you break out of the negativity and start cultivating a life you truly want to be living, in spite of all the shit going down in the world right now. You'll get support from others with similar experiences, be offered genuine encouragement, and find a sense of empowerment so you can start facing the fear and choosing to live authentically in spite of it all.

Therapy groups can feel intimidating (especially when you've been invalidated by your peers or family, told you’re “too much” of something, or the way you are isn’t "the right type" of existing) and this is a curated space for people to collaborate on welcoming each other and honor the pain that comes from being on the outside. My goal is for these group sessions to be tailored to fit the needs of each unique cohort instead of being a one-size-fits-most curriculum. The therapeutic approach will include mindfulness and somatic tools, Narrative Therapy's group processing style, and some Parts Work, DBT, or ACT interventions to get us past the surface level and able to move into the deeper dialogues while respecting boundaries.

I'm actively recruiting new cohort members and would love to talk to you if you're interested or have some questions. After all, I'm a therapist, not a marketing expert. 😅

The specific time for the group sessions will be determined based on consensus from the group members and we'll meet once weekly on a recurring day & time and will run for 12 a total weeks. You can Book A Consultation within Zencare or you can navigate to "Therapy Groups" on my practice's website (eWisdomWellness dot com) and fill out a Registration Form there.

Group Therapist

Lindsey Witz, LPC, LCMHC, specializes in supporting queer and LGBTQIA+ individuals navigating the heavy intersection of burnout, anxiety, and existential dread. Her practice is a dedicated space for those who feel they are performing their way through life rather than living it—highly capable professionals, athletes, and community anchors on the brink of exhaustion. By addressing minority stress alongside the pressures of constant peak performance, Lindsey helps clients move from survival back into a life of meaning, vitality, and authentic self-expression.

Their therapeutic approach is rooted in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), seamlessly integrating Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused, and DBT-informed skills. This trauma-informed framework allows clients to deconstruct the hustle culture narratives that fuel depression, anxiety and stress, replacing them with actionable coping skills and a renewed sense of purpose. Whether navigating stressful work or family lives, life transitions, neurodivergence, or gender identity, Lindsey provides a balanced mix of deep existential exploration and practical, actionable steps.

With a professional background and as a former Division-1 athlete, Lindsey brings a nuanced understanding of high-pressure environments and performance anxiety. Their down-to-earth perspective resonates with clients who value a therapist who understands the drive for excellence, but recognizes its toll on mental health. Their work is informed by the belief that healing is about reclaiming one’s identity from the weight of systemic and personal expectations.

To ensure therapy is accessible for busy professionals, Lindsey provides expert care through a secure telehealth platform. They are fully licensed to serve clients in both Texas and Vermont, offering flexible remote sessions that fit a modern schedule. This virtual-first approach allows for a consistent, confidential connection from the comfort of your own space, bridging the gap between clinical expertise and daily life.
