Remote Therapy for

People of Color
Trans & Queer Communities

Light Heart Therapy

Life can be hard and harsh, especially when you’re a person of color or part of the LGBTQIA+ community. At Light Heart Therapy, we offer heart-warming and nourishing spaces where you can finally feel seen, heard, and valued. Our clients often tell us, “I finally feel like I can breathe,” “It feels like you get me, like I matter,” and “It’s so refreshing not to have to work so hard to prove myself.”

We celebrate your humanity and honor your resilience, strength, courage, and beauty—even when you can’t yet see it yourself. Whether you’re navigating the complexities of your marginalized identities or seeking a place where you don’t have to carry the weight of the world alone, you’re welcome here. We offer inclusive therapy, where all marginalized identities are welcomed, and if our work resonates with you, regardless of your identity, we encourage you to reach out.

Therapy with Lawanda (she)

Are you a Woman of Color needing to break free of negative self-talk that keeps you feeling trapped or limited in your life?

I help Women of Color break free from negative self-talk and step into confidence, ease, and self-trust.

If you’re like my clients, negative self-talk is impacting your career, relationships, and ability to feel inner peace. I'm here to uphold that you are already enough—and you don’t have to live your life constantly feeling the need to prove your worth.

Healing is possible, and you don’t have to do it alone.

Therapy with Phoenix (she/they)

Are you a high-performing, legacy shifting queer or trans POC feeling burned out and ready to set boundaries that honor & include your own needs?

I support queer and trans people of color who are committed to growth and excellence while learning how to rest and honor their own needs too so they can contribute to their families, communities, and organizations in ways that are actually sustainable and nourishing for them.

I help my clients build stronger boundaries, shift limiting beliefs, and regulate their nervous system. Through validation, perspective-building, and nervous system support, my clients are able to create real, lasting change that is more fully aligned with the life the desire.

Remote Therapy Services

We offer remote therapy services, making healing and support accessible no matter where you are and regardless of how hectic your schedule may be.

Testimonials

I had seen 4 to 5 therapists before I met Phoenix and she is the first that has made me feel seen and heard. For the first time in my life, I have self-confidence and inner peace. Phoenix has guided me to develop and find my strength, she continues to share the tools on how to conquer my past, live in my present and embrace the challenges that may arise in my future. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking healing and who is ready to put in the work. She’s worth it!

anonymous client, 2024

As a fellow therapist I spend a lot of time holding other people, but it’s not easy for me to feel met and understood by therapists, so I have struggled to shop for a good therapist. Finding Lawanda was very lucky—I can actually rest in her presence and feel immense, genuine support and understanding from her. She helped me through the most challenging year of my life; through postpartum depression, a community crisis, and the loss of a dear friend. She is playful and deep, kind and capable, open hearted and open minded, honest and nuanced. I was transformed by my work with her.
