Its hard to live in a space where your identity may be unseen, invalidated, or unrecognized

It’s hard to describe the kind of pain and confusion that arises when you are not safe to be yourself, where you are not seen or accepted for who you truly are. Over time, your identity, the way you view and live in the world, and emotions like depression and anxiety can’t help but be affected. Therapy can provide a safe, supportive space for you to authentically explore all aspects of your identity, to navigate the world and your emotions as a queer person — a place where you are met with openness and unconditional positive regard.

Open, compassionate care where you feel safe to explore, get help, and to truly be seen
