Hi, I’m Grayson
Founder of Saltwater Souls Counseling—one of the few practices in Florida devoted exclusively to LGBTQ+ mental health.
CIIS-trained, OutCare-certified, and active in statewide LGBTQ-affirming networks, I offer trauma-informed care grounded in lived community experience. My work blends clinical structure with the focus and perseverance shaped during my years as a Division I athlete.
Based in St. Petersburg, I provide secure telehealth therapy to LGBTQ+ adults and couples across Florida. Sessions are thoughtful and collaborative, with clear goals and a therapeutic space that’s both professional and human. Expect affirming care mixed with light-hearted humor, and collaborative goals that fit real life.

My Approach
At Saltwater Souls Counseling, I merge mental-health science with time-tested insight to offer therapy that’s personalized, practical, and effective — adapting to your goals, history, and real-life context rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all approach.
In couples therapy, I draw primarily from Gottman-informed and attachment-based frameworks to help partners interrupt repeating conflict patterns, improve communication, and rebuild trust and intimacy — whether your relationship is monogamous, open, or poly.
Individual therapy focuses on reducing anxiety, strengthening emotional regulation, and working through identity-related stress using structured, insight-oriented, and mindfulness-informed approaches.
We’ll keep what’s already working, thoughtfully shift what isn’t, and identify clear next steps that support meaningful, lasting change.
