Liberation Counseling and Consulting, LLC in Tucson, AZ offers affirming, intersectional therapy to help individuals from marginalized communities heal authentically through compassionate, culturally competent, evidence-based support.
-- Therapy for marginalized folx at Liberation Counseling and Consulting is a deeply intentional, identity-affirming process designed to help individuals from historically underserved communities address the mental health impacts of systemic oppression, discrimination, minority stress, and internalized shame that quietly erode wellbeing over time. Clients seeking effective LGBTQ affirming therapy in Tucson benefit from a radically personalized approach shaped by each person's intersecting identities, lived experiences, and specific goals. Sessions emphasize emotional safety, authenticity, cultural competence, and practical tools that clients carry into their daily lives well beyond the therapy room.

Founded by Atiq Shomar (they/them), LCSW, a clinician with extensive experience dedicated to social justice-centered therapeutic work, Liberation Counseling and Consulting supports individuals navigating a wide range of challenges. These include trauma recovery, anxiety and depression, identity exploration, coming out at any age, religious trauma, the effects of systemic racism, neurodivergence, relationship difficulties, and the daily toll of existing in spaces that were not designed for marginalized people.
As demand grows for anti-oppression counseling in Tucson, Liberation Counseling and Consulting continues to serve individuals who are ready to do the deep, courageous work that authentic healing requires. The practice integrates EMDR, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), play therapy, and attachment-based approaches within a feminist, anti-racist, anti-oppression framework. This combination of advanced, research-backed modalities delivered through an intersectional lens allows clinicians to meet each client exactly where they are.
Clients who engage in therapy with Liberation Counseling and Consulting often experience greater self-compassion, clarity around identity, reduced shame, improved relationships, and a restored capacity for authenticity. The practice's approach prioritizes sustainable transformation by helping individuals understand the deeper emotional needs beneath surface-level symptoms and develop new ways of showing up as their whole selves in the world.
At Liberation Counseling and Consulting, services are delivered through both in-person sessions at the practice's Civano and El Dorado locations and through secure online sessions, making professional therapeutic support accessible to clients throughout Arizona without the barrier of travel or rigid scheduling. The intake process is designed for ease: a free consultation, simple electronic onboarding, and flexible scheduling through a secure client portal.
