Our peer support specialist, Liz Hewell Garrett (she/her), is a graduate student in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Marymount University. As the spouse of a trans woman, she is dedicated to fostering inclusive and affirming spaces and is passionate about supporting the LGBTQ+ community. She understands the unique experiences of partners of trans individuals and wants to offer a supportive space for reflection, connection, and growth.
Beginning February 2026, we're so excited to begin offering a twice a month in-person support group every other Wednesday evening from 6p - 7p at $35/person per group (Pay-What-You-Can options available for 25% of the group). This is a drop-in, no commitment group, so you're welcome to come once, come every time, or at the pace that works best for you!
Email info@lgbtcounselingdmv.com to join or for more questions.
We're looking to begin more support groups at low cost to clients in the future, and would love to bring in leaders of those support groups that share an identity with the theme of the group. If you have a group you'd like to run or and idea for what the LGBT+ community could need, please let us know!
Email info@lgbtcounselingdmv.com to apply. This is a paid part time position.
