Liz Rhea, MSW, LMSW is an associate licensed social worker and private practice owner in Atlanta, Georgia. Liz is a queer-identified therapist and specializes in supporting queer and trans folks, as well as folks navigating complex trauma, including religious trauma and purity culture recovery. Liz believes deeply in the utilization of reclaiming and healing within community in the therapeutic space. 

In addition to her work as therapist, Liz is a Founding Organizer for Let's Talk About It, a queer and trans-centered mental health training organization, and she creates content about being a chill therapist for both therapists and therapy-goers on instagram and tiktok! 

In this episode, we explore the intersection of religion, politics and therapy, and what it means to hold space for clients navigating all three. We discuss the nuances of religious trauma, especially as experienced by queer individuals. We also unpack ways to navigate the politics of religion in the therapy space, balancing personal and professional beliefs, why therapy is inherently political, and showing up online as a therapist.
