SC Nealy’s first non-fiction book, HEALING SACRED WOUNDS: A GUIDE TO HEALING FROM RELIGIOUS AND SPIRITUAL TRAUMA, releases on August 20, 2026! Come celebrate this release with a themed cocktail, lovely friends, a drag performance, and book signing! We will also be sharing about local community resources to help with these issues!
SC Nealy, LPC, is the owner of LGBT+ Counseling Collaborative and author of 30+ fiction novels with over 250,000 copies sold. This is their first non-fiction book and is based on their own history of religious trauma and being raised in a cult, and working with clients to find healing through it all. ❤️
