Affirmative Counseling and Therapy
Finding a therapist who affirms your identity can be challenging. You need a “safe space,” but we know this can feel like a false notion, particularly for marginalized communities. We can provide a collaborative and affirming space to explore issues related to sexual orientation, gender identity, coming out, and navigating relationships and social challenges. We believe individuals of all sexual orientations and gender identities deserve access to high-quality mental health care and community support to navigate the unique challenges they face. We offer affirming and culturally competent counseling services, providing a supportive environment for clients.
