A Welcoming Space

We know that it can be hard in lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer (LGBTQ+) and adjacent communities to find affirming and culturally responsive mental health support. Finding the right therapist can be challenging and sometimes downright frustrating. We know that many people avoid therapy altogether for fear of facing ignorance or discrimination.

We want you to feel welcome, affirmed, and supported in who you are and what you are experiencing in your life.

How We Can Help

We’ve built a team of therapists who have demonstrated experience in working with queer communities and are dedicating their time exclusively to learning and developing expertise on these issues:

    - Dating and romantic relationships
    - Navigating systemic oppression
    - Family relationships
    - Disclosure and coming out

A Team That Understands You

The therapists in this clinic have dedicated significant training and clinical focus to LGBTQ+ mental health. In addition, the team has ongoing training so they can stay up-to-date in an ever-evolving field. Some of them are leaders in the field and regularly provide training to other therapists on LGBTQ+ concerns.
