Affirming Online Therapy for LGBTQ+ Adults in Missouri
LGBTQ+ Counseling & Trauma Therapy | Safe Harbor Missouri
Supportive LGBTQ+ therapy for identity, trauma & burnout. Affirming care that helps you reconnect and heal.
You’ve Been Performing for Far Too Long
You feel it every day.
Like you're reading lines from a script written by someone else, smiling on cue, nodding in meetings, saying the right things to keep the peace.
But inside? You’re wondering:
“Where do I fit in this world?”
“When can I finally stop pretending?”
“What would it feel like to just be... me?”
You feel like a guest in your own life. Disconnected. Drained. Unseen.
Maybe you’ve tried to blend in. Maybe you’ve been told you’re “too much” or “not enough.”
And even when you’ve achieved what others call success, it doesn’t feel like yours.
You're Not Broken: You're Exhausted from Hiding
This is what unacknowledged identity, chronic invalidation, and internalized stigma can do. When your environment forces you to constantly filter your truth, at home, at work, in relationships, your system learns to shut down parts of you just to survive.
It’s not your fault.
But you deserve better than survival.
You deserve peace. You deserve to be seen. You deserve to thrive.
Meet Your Guide at Safe Harbor Counseling
Michael Mason M.Ed., LPC, NCC®
As a fellow member of the LGBTQ+ community, I know how hard it can be to walk through the world when your identity feels like something others try to fix, question, or erase. I’ve been there too; navigating shame, perfectionism, and parts of myself I thought I had to silence.
Now, I’m here as a guide, not a savior.
Together, we’ll explore the parts of you that have been protecting you for years and help them rest. Using Internal Family Systems (IFS), trauma-informed care, and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, I’ll support you in reclaiming your voice and reconnecting with your most authentic self.
At Safe Harbor, you’ll find more than a therapist. You’ll find someone who gets it and who will walk beside you with respect and care.

Finding Relief and Transformation
Your Authentic Self: A Journey Toward Clarity and Genuine Connection
Imagine waking up feeling more like yourself than you have in years. Each action we take will be a step towards this reality, helping you shed the layers that obscure your true self and replace them with clarity and authenticity. We'll focus on enhancing your self-awareness and rebuilding the genuine connections that enrich your life. You'll begin to notice a shift in how you perceive your daily activities, finding moments of genuine pleasure and satisfaction in what were once mundane or stressful tasks.
🔁 Don’t Let the Pattern Repeat
Without support, you may keep looping through the same painful cycles:
- Performing instead of living
- Numbing instead of connecting
- Hiding instead of healing
We’ll help you interrupt that cycle.
Through LGBTQ+ counseling rooted in empathy and evidence, you’ll build resilience, not just for today, but for every chapter ahead.
