Healing, Identity & Alternative Lifestyles

Welcome to a powerful episode of Breaking The Cycle, where we dive deep into conversations that challenge stigma and empower healing.

We are honored to be joined by Iris Muscarella, LPC-A, a trailblazing Licensed Professional Counselor Associate supervised by Lori Martin, LPC-S. Iris brings a wealth of lived experience and professional expertise to the conversation—especially around mental health care for LGBTQIA+ individuals, sex workers, kink/BDSM communities, polyamorous/polycule relationships, veterans, and communities of color.

In this live discussion, we’ll explore:

Trauma-informed, culturally affirming therapy

Mental health challenges in marginalized communities

Supporting polyamorous and ENM relationships

Iris’s work in kink and sex education

Military service, identity, and resilience

The impact of race, class, and systemic oppression on healing

Iris’s deeply compassionate, non-judgmental approach is reshaping what inclusive, affirming therapy looks like.

Whether you’re part of an alternative lifestyle, a veteran, or someone seeking deeper, more authentic connection—this conversation is for you.

🧠💬 Don’t miss this opportunity to hear from a therapist who truly gets it. Join us, ask your questions live, and be part of the healing.
