Rediscover who you are—without the shame, pressure, or old labels.

If you’ve been asking yourself, “Who am I really, underneath all this anxiety, ADHD, people-pleasing, or trauma?”—you’re not alone.

At Therapy with Laney, I offer an affirming space for Millennial and Gen Z adults navigating identity exploration. Whether you're deconstructing harmful narratives from childhood, questioning your neurodivergence, unpacking religious or cultural trauma, exploring gender or sexual orientation, or simply feeling lost, you don’t have to do this alone.

You’re allowed to evolve. You’re allowed to take up space. You’re allowed to choose who you want to be.

Common Themes We Might Explore

  • You’ve spent so much energy trying to be what others needed—quiet, helpful, “normal.” Now you’re wondering who you are underneath the masking. Therapy is a place where you can take off the mask, unlearn the pressure to perform, and begin to feel safe simply being yourself.

  • Getting a late diagnosis of ADHD or autism can feel like a revelation and a grief. It can change how you understand your past and shift how you want to move forward. I offer a neurodivergent-affirming space to explore what this means for your identity, relationships, and self-worth—without shame or pathologizing.

  • Your gender or sexuality is valid—whether it’s crystal clear or still evolving. You deserve a therapist who celebrates your queerness, holds space for your uncertainty, and helps you connect to your truth on your own terms. I offer LGBTQ+ affirming therapy that centers your voice, not a checklist.

  • You may have been taught who you “should” be—from your parents, religion, or culture—and now you’re wondering what parts of that still fit. Therapy can help you sort through inherited beliefs and choose your own path with intention, clarity, and compassion.

  • Even if no one ever “meant” to hurt you, growing up without emotional safety can shape how you see yourself. Maybe you’ve always felt too much—or not enough. Together, we’ll gently revisit these relational wounds so you can begin to trust yourself and feel worthy of care and connection.

  • It’s easy to lose touch with your inner compass when you’ve been focused on surviving, pleasing others, or performing. Through therapy, you can begin to slow down, listen inward, and rebuild a relationship with your body, your needs, and the values that matter most to you.
