Life is too short to feel crummy all of the time.

Maybe you haven’t been feeling like yourself lately. Or even feel like you aren’t allowed to be yourself. Perhaps you feel like you’re having to hide your sexual identity from others all the time. Or are tired of having to deal with constant judgement or side comments family members or friends. You may feel anxious on a regular basis and struggle to get through the day. Or maybe you’ve been struggling with some depression and are feeling scared and alone. Perhaps you could just use someone safe to vent to, someone you don’t have to constantly explain your sexual identity to.

asexuality, aro ace, or aromatic
gay or lesbian identities and romantic relationships
ethical non-monogamy or polyamorous relationships
bisexuality or demisexuality

Or perhaps you’re not sure what your sexuality is, but you would like some place safe to explore this part of yourself.
Or maybe you were prefer to simply not put a label on your sexuality

Common questions about LGBTQ+ therapy

There can be a lot of diferences between the two. There are a lot of therapists who identify as allies or supportive of the LGBTQ+ community. Which is great! But a general therapist who is an ally but does not have additional training or experience in LGBTQ+ related topics may not understand how sexuality identity influences a person’s day to day.
A therapist with LGBTQ+ focused training and experience will have better understanding of how your anxiety/depression/etc. can be impacted or even caused by discrimination or marginalization you may experience due to your sexual orientation. You also deserve a provider who gets it, one you don’t have to explain what it’s like to be queer to all the time.
Yes! I’m so glad you asked. As a fellow LGBTQ+ member, I know what it’s like to navigate the world as a queer person myself. I actually started my clinical practice in response to seeing how few safe and trained mental health providers there are in the community for LGBTQ+ people. I believe everyone deserves access to safe, supportive, and quality mental health services.
Yes, yes, and yes! I have experience working with a wide range of identities under the LGBTQ+ umbrella. You can feel safe knowing you’ll be understood and accepted.
