Welcome to the Lesbian Therapy & Coaching Blog

At Lesbian Therapy and Coaching, we’re passionate about supporting the LGBTQ community through every stage of your journey. Our blog is a space for exploring topics related to mental health, personal growth, and self-discovery—all through an affirming and inclusive lens.

Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, grief, identity, or healing from religious trauma, our articles are designed to offer insight, compassion, and guidance. We also cover themes around coaching, late-life transitions, and building resilience within the LGBTQ mental health space.

Led by Molly Downs-Stoller, LMFT, and certified life coach Sue Stoller, this blog is rooted in lived experience and professional expertise. Each post offers thoughtful perspectives, tools for emotional wellness, and reminders that you are not alone.

We invite you to read, reflect, and return often. And if there’s a topic you’d love for us to cover related to LGBTQ mental health, therapy, or coaching, feel free to reach out—we’re always listening.
