We Are Here To Help

LGBTQ+ & Gender Identity

Counseling to help your feel safe, understood, empowered, connected, and loved on your path to understanding your authentic self.

Understanding and accepting our authentic selves regarding sexuality and gender can be wonderful, but is oftentimes filled with lack of acceptance, fear, stress,and other challenging emotions. Processing these components to one’s identity in a heteronormative and cisgender society is challenging and isolating. Sexuality and gender exist on a spectrum, and can be fluid. 

Supporting you while you assess where you see yourself on those spectrum in a binary society is our goal. Even the most understanding and well-intentioned friends and family can fail to comprehend how to support members of the LGBTQ+ community.
