Do you live outside of the heteronormative-cisgender box?  Have you been to other supposed LGBTQ-friendly therapists who had no idea what you were talking about? Could you use a safe space to process your feelings and assess your goals? 

If you can relate to any of the above, then you’ve come to the right place. 

A Safe Space for LGBTQ Therapy Without Judgment

Stigma, in any form, is an impediment to the well-being of those who experience it. Given the stressors that LGBT groups must confront such as homophobia, prejudice, coming out, and discrimination, finding LGBTQ-friendly therapists who specialize in LGBT issues is crucial to personal growth. Working with an LGBTQ affirming therapist provides space where you can feel not only safe, but understood.

Inspiring Stories From Our Community

  • “I have recommended this practice to multiple people! One of my close friends as well as my dad are both clients of this practice now. I also recommend the practice to some of my patients who I believe would benefit from therapy. Everyone I have worked with has been pleasant and kind and makes the process enjoyable. :)”

    – Highly Recommended to Family & Friends

  • "My clinician has supported me incredibly with a safe, collaborative and positive environment to share sensitive choice, life events and thoughts. This is huge for me as I’ve had two negative experiences in the past that made me strongly hesitate recieving mental health support for a while. Thank you for offering a consistently challenging and caring space!”

    – A Caring and Collaborative Environment

  • “I’ve wanted to go to therapy for a the last few years. I’m very glad I gave it a shot and am very lucky that the therapist I matched with ended up as a great fit from the first session. I am much more confident in myself and feel like I actually am prepared to and can handle much more in life. I have seen/felt it in practice as the year goes on. I’m happy to say I have made so much progress and probably wouldn’t feel this way if it wasn’t for Leanne.”
