We offer counseling services for all members of the LGBTQIA community

Our LGBTQIA-friendly counselors are here to give you the support and validation that you need and deserve in a safe, affirming, and supportive space.

You deserve to be able to live your truth and express yourself without fear, worry, or shame.  Gender, sexuality, and sexual identity play a big role in your life and you get to declare what sexualities and identities feel right for you.

In a world that can be intolerant, knowing that you’re going into a safe space that embraces you as you are can make all the difference when it comes to sharing other challenges that you may be having; you are free to explore the good, the bad, and everything in between. We are here to help you embrace who you are, face whatever challenges you are facing, and foster resiliency.

We will partner with you to embrace yourself as you are – uniquely you.

What to expect from the counseling journey

We create a unique counseling process that is tailored to each person’s strengths and experiences.

Counseling is meant to be a time of self-exploration and growth. Your clinician will tailor treatment to your specific needs based on your goals and what you would like to achieve. Counseling has the potential to be short-term or long-term based on your individual needs.

Sustained progress can be made in as few as 8 weekly sessions, but most people find that they need treatment for a minimum of several months. We encourage you to attend weekly sessions, as this allows you to establish a close working relationship with your clinician and to make progress more quickly. Our hope is for you to reach your goals sooner rather than later so that you can live the life you desire.

We will help you identify and build upon your strengths to make meaningful change.
