Discrimination, oppression, and social stigma can make it feel impossible to live authentically.

As a result, people in the LGBTQ+ community often express feeling isolated and alone—feelings that are further amplified when a person feels like there is no room to be themselves, even with the people who are supposed to be closest to them.

Like many people we've worked with, you might be feeling any one or more of the following:

  • You feel like no one “gets” you

  • You feel misunderstood or misidentified

  • You feel like you have to hide who you are from your family or friends

  • On the other hand, maybe you’re still figuring out who you are and feel lost

  • You feel abandoned and alone 

  • You feel “displaced” in the community you were once a part of, or are trying to reconcile other parts of you, like your faith or culture, with who you are on the inside

We are passionate about helping people of all faiths, genders, non-conforming identities and backgrounds.

The first step can be scary, but working with an LGBTQ-affirming therapist can feel…liberating.
