Two spots left! Beginning again in May 2026 every Tuesday from 12p-1:15p EST virtually, the 12 Week Religious Trauma group resumes with a brand new cohort. Led by therapist and religious trauma specialist SC Nealy LPC, this group focuses on exploring, unpacking, and healing from religious and spiritual trauma.

This group will focus on psychoeducation around religious trauma, breaking down shame/judgment, restructuring relational patterns, exploring identity outside of religious doctrines, purity culture, the impact on LGBT identities and shame, perfectionism, boundary setting, and increasing autonomy in individual choices toward or away from spirituality and/or religion. This group is open to anyone from any religious background and is intended to help clients reach their own personal goals for religion which may include staying in a religion, growing in a religion, or leaving a religion. All are welcome. This group is capped at 6 individuals.

Email snealy@lgbtcounselingdmv.com to get started with an intake session beforehand.

Part three of a four-part LGBTQ+ storytelling series featuring local elders, activists, artists, icons and pioneers on lessons learned by Friends of Dorothy Cafe!

Living History: How We Loved: Part 3 of the Living History Series
Moderated by Sarah Marloff, Washington City Paper
Featuring SC Nealy, Rashad A Muhammad, Rayceen Pendarvis, Alberto Ucles & Tom Noll, and Dr. Dorothy Edwards.

In How We Loved, We will hear how q***r and trans people have loved and cared for one another, especially when legal, medical, and social systems did not recognize those relationships. We’ll reflect on chosen family, long-term partnerships before marriage equality, caregiving during the AIDS crisis, hidden romances, friendship as survival, chosen family, and the loves that changed the course of our lives.

This evening is about honoring lived experience, preserving community memory, and strengthening the bridge between generations.

Come listen, learn, and be part of a conversation that connects our past to our future.
