What Makes Our Queer Specialization Different?

Working with a therapist who specializes in queer experiences matters because:

• We understand LGBTQ+ experiences. Therapy is informed by knowledge of queer-specific challenges, from identity exploration to navigating stigma and discrimination.

• We honor your identity. Therapy centers your lived experience, affirming your sexual orientation, gender identity, and self-expression.

• We practice anti-oppression and social justice. Therapy acknowledges systemic inequities and addresses barriers related to marginalization, discrimination, or minority stress.

• We are queer-owned and affirming. Every therapist is either part of the queer community or a committed ally, creating an authentic and safe space.

• We provide personalized support. Therapy can address mental health, relationships, coming out, trauma, minority stress, and life transitions.

Who Can Benefit From Queer-Affirming Therapy?

Our services support queer clients of all ages, including:

• LGBTQ+ teens, young adults, and adults

• Individuals exploring sexual orientation or gender identity

• Transgender or non-binary clients navigating social, medical, or relational transitions

• Clients experiencing minority stress, stigma, or discrimination

• Queer individuals or couples seeking support for relationships, mental health, or personal growth
