LGBTQIA+ Affirming Therapy in Richmond, VA
Virtual Services Available Throughout Virginia and Massachusetts
You deserve a space where your authentic self is welcome and celebrated. Water Lily Counseling invites you with open arms into an affirming, judgment-free therapy space. No more having to explain yourself, identities, or lived experiences in session.
You are welcome as you are, whether you are carrying something directly related to your identity or simply part of the fuller picture of your life.
Affirming care is a right to all.
You deserve support that sees all of you.
Our work together starts from a place of respect for who you are, without assumptions about your experiences, relationships, or what "should" matter to you. Depending on what you are working through, it may look like:
- Working through anxiety, depression, or stress with your full identity in the room
- Processing family dynamics, past rejection, or relational wounds
- Building self-acceptance and quieting the internalized critical voice
- Navigating relationships, community, and intimacy on your own terms
- Simply having consistent, steady support as you move through life's changes

Sabiha Zaman LCSW, LICSW
Hi, I'm Sabiha. I work with queer adults looking for a therapist who just gets it.
Many folks have had the experience of explaining their identities to therapists and still feeling misunderstood, judged, or put in a box. I help clients navigate anxiety, trauma, shame, and more, whether related to their identity or not, in a space that is compassionate and understanding. You deserve care that welcomes the authentic you.
