LGBTQIA+ Therapy for Individuals

As a queer or gender-diverse person, you may carry the weight of internalized shame, family rejection, cultural bias, or identity-related trauma. Therapy can offer a space to untangle that pain, build resilience, and reconnect with your sense of self-worth and purpose.

Our individual therapy work may focus on:

Identity exploration and gender affirmation
Coming out, self-acceptance, or navigating transitions
Healing from religious, cultural, or familial trauma
Coping with anxiety, depression, or chronic shame
Self-esteem, body image, or perfectionism
Relationship issues, boundaries, or emotional patterns
Processing attachment wounds and building secure self-connection

We help you go beyond symptom relief, exploring how early experiences, social messages, and relational dynamics have shaped your current reality so you can move forward with clarity, confidence, and authenticity.

LGBTQIA+ Couples & Relationship Therapy

Queer couples often face the same struggles as any other relationship conflict, communication breakdowns, intimacy challenges but with additional stressors like societal pressure, family rejection, or identity-based trauma.

Our therapists offer LGBTQIA+ couples therapy that is:

Affirming of all identities and orientations

Inclusive of non-traditional structures (polyamory, open relationships, chosen family)

Rooted in evidence-based models like Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and The Gottman Method.

Trauma-informed and attachment-focused, exploring how each partner’s history shapes the relationship dynamic.

We help couples build emotional safety, resolve conflicts with empathy, and foster deeper intimacy whether you’re dating, newly committed, navigating transition, or repairing after disconnection.
