Lake Drive Books is excited and honored to welcome Natasha Helfer to our signed authors!
As a credentialed, licensed s*x therapist, someone committed to professionalism even if her faith tradition contradicted that professionalism, Natasha began challenging teachings and unhealthy advice within Mormon culture on s*xuality, ma********on, marriage equality, LGBTQ+ inclusion, faith transitions, and mental health. She advocated for evidence-based care, transparency, authenticity, and compassion.
As Americans continue trying to navigate an oversaturated religious culture—one lately that is shaped by fear, performance, and rhetoric—genuine spiritual maturity increasingly requires us to listen to the hard-won wisdom of trained mental health professionals like Natasha.
