Getting to know Lia Bigelow

True connection only happens when you let people into the places you normally keep hidden. If you’re a member of the LGBTQ+ community, you’ve probably been hiding a lot of who you are – maybe for a very long time. After all, if they can’t see you, they can’t hurt you. It’s a coping mechanism, but as you know, it’s not a viable long-term strategy for living a full, authentic life. You can’t experience intimacy and healthy relationships when you’re not fully showing up as yourself, which leaves you lonely, isolated, and disconnected. It’s no wonder LGBTQ+ individuals face higher rates of anxiety, depression, and trauma. A big part of how you think and feel right now developed out of your need to “stay small” to survive. Now that you’ve survived, those patterns no longer serve you. You need new perspectives and skills to release the negativity and start living authentically and unapologetically. You can do this! Reach out today for your free consultation.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I work with members of the LGBTQ+ community that struggle with living in the shadows due to trauma, anxiety or depression. Using CBT and/or EMDR and a psychodynamic approach, I help my clients discover their own strength by exploring the experiences in life that caused them to shrink into digestible forms of themselves. Through our work together, my clients are able to increase their connections and let go of negative ways of thinking so they can live life without the mask and be fully and unapologetically self-expressed.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Let’s dive into what caused you to shrink into a “more digestible version” of yourself. By deconstructing those experiences, you’ll gain insight into your negative thoughts and emotions. That’s the first step toward healing. We’ll then give you tools to manage anxiety and depression so you can feel grounded and energized for the next chapter of your life. I believe that the way you think influences the way you feel and behave so if you want to feel better or act differently you need to change the way you think. In order to change the way you think, you need to understand why you think that way in the first place. So if you want to feel less sad or anxious or scared we need to pull apart and explore the situations that are causing you to have these big emotions and develop tools to help you heal from big hurts. So I create a space where your authentic self is appreciated to do the work that will help you feel freer and better able to attain your goals. You will be better able to recognize your strengths, appreciate them and then use them to conquer your goals and live unapologetically mask free without fear of judgment or erasure.
