Wayne Kossman, LMHC, NCC
Psychotherapist -
Looking for an affirming therapist who offers culturally competent therapy for members of LGBTQ+ and other vulnerable communities? Need a trusted support to provide a safe, non-judgmental, and confidential space to talk openly? I am here for you. The mantra informing my approach to therapy is: “You are the expert of your own life!” Beyond talking about feelings, we will draw on evidence-based treatment methods and your own strength, resilience, and perseverance to facilitate lasting change.
I’m a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with a passion for supporting and partnering with adults from underserved communities, including people suffering from alcohol and drug addiction, people living with HIV/AIDS, the LGBTQ+ community, and their allies. My preferred pronouns are he/him. When I’m not providing counseling services online through my private therapy practice, I’m working for a local non-profit community services agency empowering others to thrive and live their best lives.
I will tailor my approach to your unique needs. You will learn to build on your innate strengths and talents and begin a journey of exploration and discovery that will help you achieve your goals, aspirations, and objectives. To create a dynamic and healing therapy strategy, I use an eclectic mix of trauma-informed care, mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques. As we work together, building the therapeutic alliance, my goal is to help you find the answers that have always been within you.
