LGBTQ+ affirming therapy means more than a therapist who is "okay with" your identity. It means a therapist who understands the specific mental health challenges that come with being queer or trans in a world that is still, in many ways, hostile to your existence — and who can hold the intersection of queerness and race with genuine competence.

What We Address

• Coming out — to family, friends, coworkers, or yourself
• Identity exploration — sexual orientation, gender identity, and how they intersect with race and culture
• Family rejection and the grief that comes with it
• Minority stress — the chronic stress of navigating homophobia, transphobia, and racism simultaneously
• Relationship dynamics specific to queer partnerships
• Trans-specific concerns — dysphoria, transition, navigating systems
• Religious and cultural conflict around LGBTQ+ identity
• Healing from conversion therapy or religious harm

Queer People of Color

Being both queer and a person of color means navigating multiple forms of marginalization — sometimes simultaneously, sometimes in tension with each other. Black and Brown LGBTQ+ people often face homophobia within communities of color and racism within LGBTQ+ spaces. Our therapists understand this double bind and provide care that honors your whole self.
