Mayme Connors

Real talk – therapy shouldn’t feel like talking to a houseplant.

I’m Mayme Connors and as a LGBTQ+ therapist I work with the ones who are exhausted. My clients are generally adults, couples, throuples, and polycules who have spent way too much time managing other people’s expectations, hiding parts of themselves, and trying to “fix” things that weren’t theirs to fix to begin with.

They’re exhausted from doing the self-help thing and seeing no lasting benefit. They’re trying to figure out who the hell they are. They’re navigating anxiety, shame, burnout, unresolved trauma, family drama, relationship issues, stress, loneliness…you name it. They’ve done their best to survive but understand that surviving isn’t the same as living.

Many of my clients are worn out with performing. Performing stability, success, palatable queerness. They’re burnt out and looking for someone who gets it. Someone who won’t pathologize their queerness or boundaries or desire for deep, meaningful change.

Enter stage left: Me.

I help my clients untangle the knots. The deeply held beliefs from family, culture, religion, or society that tell us we are too much or not enough or right or wrong. Using approaches like Internal Family Systems (IFS), Gottman, Relational Life Therapy, DBT and more, we get to the heart of it and start untying the knots that are holding you back.

Therapy with me involves talking to the parts of you that are scared, angry, sad, or just bone tired. We build new pathways toward connection with self and others, clarity, and some fucking peace.

I’m not a blank slate. I’m not a passive therapist. I’m collaborative, sometimes irreverent, always honest, and deeply present. I care about you outside our hour together. I think strategically about your therapy plan and what will best help you realize the life you want to be living.

Therapy with me is not sterile… it’s messy and magical and fun and hard. One badass step at a time.

If you’re looking for a therapist who will hold space for your darkest moments, laugh with you, sometimes cry with you, and help you build a life that feels authentically, unapologetically yours – I’ve got you.

Healing doesn’t have to be beige. And you, my dear, don’t have to keep hiding the most vibrant parts of yourself to just survive.

Let’s get to work.
