Online therapy in Fayetteville, Arkansas
Stop struggling.
Find solutions.
LGBTQ+ affirming counseling for men and folks assigned male at birth in Arkansas. Specializing in anxiety, life changes, sexuality, gender, and disability and caregiving.
You’re used to finding the answers and getting things done. But, right now, you’ve got a problem you just can’t figure out on your own.
You put on a brave face. People comment on how you’re always there for them. But… who’s there for you? You’re worried about what people might think about you if they really knew what was going on. Does this sound familiar?
-
You know they’re there, but there’s a wall between you and them. Anxiety and anger are about the only ones you can really feel - and those lead to problems. Daily life feels like you’re just going through the motions.
-
Where’s the joy? The spark? Your relationships are suffering. It’s hard to allow yourself to enjoy the things that usually bring you pleasure. You feel like an impostor.
-
You’ve tried avoiding the things that make you anxious. You’ve tried to outthink your problems, knuckle down, suck it up, and deal with it. Maybe you’ve tried distracting yourself with video games, porn, or drugs or alcohol. Everything just seems to make your problems worse.
-
Opening up is hard, especially when you worry about what others will think of you. Admitting you have a problem feels like a weakness. Ignoring it keeps you stuck. You’re up late worrying when everyone else is sleeping. You’re in your head, swimming in worry even when surrounded by the people who are important to you.
-
You don’t want someone simply repeating everything you say as if it were a question and you don’t need someone telling you how you feel. You need ideas and action steps - a way forward. You want something to work on and someone to collaborate with. You want to focus on the future more than the past.
Maybe you’ve tried therapy before and it seemed like a lot of fluff. It felt good in the moment but nothing really led to lasting change.
But you’re not alone. There is a path forward. I’m here to walk it with you.
Maybe you want to be a better partner or parent. Perhaps you’re struggling with your sexuality or gender identity. Or maybe life has thrown you a curveball in terms of your career, your abilities, or other big change that’s hard to deal with.
Together, we’ll create a space where you can tap into your true self, your strengths, your outlook, and your way of doing things to empower you. We’ll challenge you to grow and change in the ways you want in ways that make sense to you.
I’ve worked with cis men, trans men, and those folks assigned male at birth (AMAB) to overcome their different challenges and feel more empowered and capable of handling whatever life throws their way. Together, we’ll help you do more of what works for you and less of what isn’t helping.
I know how powerful it can be to find your own unique ways of dealing with your problems, because I’ve dealt with a lot of these very things, myself.

LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapy
Opening up to therapists is hard enough without the fear that you will be judged for who you are and how you experience yourself, your attractions, and your relationships. Having a therapist who personally understands the unique stressors of being LGBTQ+ in our world can put the focus where it belongs - on you as a human being.
Life Changes
Adjusting to change is hard, whether it’s losing a job, ending a relationships, or the dreaded mid-life crisis. Even positive changes like entering a new stage in a relationship, starting a new career, or becoming a parent can be stressful. Change affects every area of your life including your physical, mental, emotional, social, and personal wellbeing. Counseling can help you manage stress, tap into your personal values, and develop a plan to help you to feel confident in your ability to handle whatever comes your way.
Men’s Issues
The world tells you to suppress your feelings but doesn’t tell you how to manage those feelings. It’s like trying to win a game when you don’t know the rules. This often results in anger, impostor syndrome, struggles with sexual performance, or porn addiction. But you get to make up your own rules. You can learn to worry less about what society expects and focus more on being the person you want to be.
Disability and Caregiving
Disability can turn the world upside-down for everyone involved. You’re overwhelmed by grief and struggling to adapt. It makes you question who you are and whether or not you can really live life now. But you can create a new life worth living. It’s not a question of if it can be done, but how can it be done differently?
Therapy at MoonPath.
Based in Fayetteville, Arkansas, I provide online counseling across Arkansas to allow you to make the time for the therapy that’s important to you. No commutes, no waiting rooms with canned music, and the comfort of familiar surroundings. I offer this service to also support my kindreds in the LGBTQ+ and nature-centered spiritual communities who live in small towns where there may be no one local you can trust to support you with understanding and confidentiality.
I also do Walk-Talk therapy at Kessler Mountain Regional Park in Fayetteville, Arkansas to bring nature into the counseling circle and all of the amazing things it has to offer. Click on the links below to learn more about the different services offered by MoonPath Counseling.
Are we a good fit?
You’ve tried other ways of coping, read self-help books, and maybe tried other therapists but none of it has really worked so far. Not in a way that really speaks to you or has led to lasting change or you probably wouldn’t be looking at this site, right?
That’s probably because a lot of what’s out there is designed for the “average person” based on some composite idea of what it is to be “normal.”
Between you and me, “normal” isn’t anything but a setting on a dryer.
We might work together well if:
You’re ready to challenge yourself to look at the things that cannot be changed and start working on the things that can be changed.
You want compassionate accountability for your goals.
You want a space to be unapologetically you and weave your authentic self into your healing journey - whether that’s that’s geekish, freakish, nerdy, queer, or you just need to be able to cuss up a storm.
You want a space for laughter as well as tears that can acknowledge that even “dark humor” can be healing.
You need a space to talk about things that you fear many people, even therapists, might judge you for such as sex, kink, and polyamory.
Start living life on your terms.

We can find it, together.
