Affirming support for people whose minds, bodies, and lives don’t fit neatly into society’s boxes.
I offer therapy, ADHD coaching, and help finding affirming mental healthcare for neurodivergent, disabled, and chronically ill people, specializing in working with LGBTQIA+ individuals, gender transition, and those in nontraditional relationships. I am a sex-positive, kink-affirming, queer, non-binary, and disabled clinician who will say “that fucking sucks” when the situation calls for it.
I also consult with organizations and clinical teams seeking to make their work more neurodiversity- and disability-affirming. I offer in-person sessions at my office in Southeast Decatur, Georgia, and virtual sessions statewide.
I offer free consultations for all of my services. Email me at Counseling@amariahlove.com to ask questions or schedule a consultation.

“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.” – Carl Rogers
Care that makes room for all of you
My style as a counselor is direct, empathetic, and authentic. I utilize a holistic approach that centers the client as the expert of their own life and honors their unique perspectives, needs, and identities.
You shouldn’t have to spend therapy convincing your therapist that your experience is real—or translating every part of yourself before you can get support.
For nearly a decade, I’ve worked with adults whose lives include trauma, neurodivergence, disability, chronic illness, marginalization, and the ways these experiences intersect. I bring extensive clinical experience and training, as well as lived experience as a queer, disabled, neurodivergent person. That combination shapes how I listen: I may recognize something in what you’re describing that is hard to put into words, while staying curious about what it means for you.
My experiences are not a substitute for understanding yours, and I don’t make your therapy about me. I draw on what I know personally and clinically to help us make sense of patterns, find language for what you need, and choose approaches that fit your life. I can meet complex experiences with recognition and empathy—and bring clinical judgment to the work of helping you move toward the changes you want.
If you’re looking for therapy that can hold complexity and still help you find a way forward, I invite you to learn more about working together.

“Perhaps the biggest tragedy of our lives is that freedom is possible, yet we can pass our years trapped in the same old patterns…We may want to love other people without holding back, to feel authentic, to breathe in the beauty around us, to dance and sing. Yet each day we listen to inner voices that keep our life small.” ―Tara Brach, Radical Acceptance: Embracing Your Life With the Heart of a Buddha
