LGBTQIA+ Affirming Therapy
Our culture is bathed in heteronormativity (i.e., the assumption that heterosexuality is the norm and expectation) and transmisia (i.e., any attitudes, beliefs, or policies that stigmatize or harm trans, nonbinary, or genderfluid individuals). Queer individuals face discrimination and marginalization in many facets of life. In a world where you may feel misunderstood, LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy can offer understanding. Whether you are seeking individual or relational therapy, you deserve support that is validating, affirming, and non-judgmental.
LGBTQIA+ Affirming Therapy can support clients

Lesbian and gay identity

Internalized homophobia/homomisia, biphobia/bimisia, and transphobia/transmisia

“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.”
