Hi there, I'm Thomas! I’m Dr. Thomas “Stacy” Helton, PhD in Psychology with an emphasis on LGBTQ+ studies. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia and Oregon, offering virtual sessions. I work primarily with LGBTQ+ clients, but I am open to anyone with alternative lifestyles. My practice is focused on adults aged 18 and over, and my therapeutic approach combines Reality Therapy with Conversational Therapy to create a supportive, affirming environment for personal growth. With over 20 years of experience, I am committed to helping individuals navigate transitions and explore identity. My approach I specialize in Life Transitions, examining psychosocial development stages and their influence on identity and relationships. I also address the emotional challenges faced by LGBTQ+ individuals. Additionally, I explore social identity theory, which investigates how group membership shapes self-concept and fosters personal identity and a sense of belonging. My focus I take Virginia Satir's wisdom to heart: "The most basic human need is the need to understand and be understood. The best way to understand people is to listen to them." This philosophy guides my practice, ensuring I listen with empathy and genuine understanding. By doing so, I strive to offer support that is not only effective but also deeply compassionate. My communication style When we talk, I keep it real and direct, but never judgmental. I listen closely, reflect on what I hear, and ask questions that help you uncover your own answers. My goal is to make our conversations feel natural and collaborative—like you’re thinking out loud with someone who genuinely understands and supports you. Together, we explore your experiences, challenges, and goals at your pace, focusing on practical insight and personal growth.
