    • 心理健康

Al Peoples, LCSW and Felipe Blue, LCAS, LCMHCA, CSS discuss with Tawaka Turner-Philon, LCPC about sexual identity and the impact it can have on mental health.


Tawaka has been working in the mental health field for almost 20 years and just this year transitioned from clinician to life coach. She used her years of experience working with diverse populations from adolescents to women to people in the fire and rescue service, to create a coaching program to help professionals overcome stress and overwhelm. CLUES for Peace of Mind, encompasses strategies that aid in effective communication, self-love and self-acceptance, Understanding ones life’s purpose, increasing emotional intelligence, and proven skills to properly manage conflicting thoughts and emotions. Tawaka believes that her contribution to the world is to help others know, understand, and release their greatest potential so that they can live their most self-fulfilled lives.



In this episode, we dive deep into the complex relationship between sexual identity and mental health. While sexual orientation and gender identity are not inherently linked to mental illness, the experiences of discrimination, prejudice, and social isolation faced by LGBTQ+ individuals can significantly impact their well-being.



Al Peoples ( he/him) is the lead therapist at Peoples Counseling.

Felipe Blue (he/him) is the founder and executive director of More Than Therapy located at:
