LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapy

A safe place to bring all of you

At Holistic Psychology, affirming care is not one therapist's specialty. It is a standard for our whole practice. Every clinician on our team is trained in LGBTQ+ cultural humility and in evidence-based affirmative therapy, so you will not have to educate your therapist or wonder whether you are welcome.

What that means here

•    Your identity is never treated as the problem.

•    Your name and pronouns are respected from the first phone call.

•    We understand the real stress of stigma, rejection, and having to stay on guard, and how it affects mental health.

•    Your relationships, family structure, and community are honored as you define them.

Trained in evidence-based affirmative care

Our clinicians are trained in affirmative cognitive behavioral therapy, an evidence-based approach adapted specifically for LGBTQ+ people. It combines proven CBT skills with an affirming framework that addresses identity-based stress, builds coping and resilience, and strengthens supportive connections.

We can help with

•    Anxiety, depression, and trauma

•    Coming out, identity exploration, and questioning

•    Gender exploration and transition-related support

•    Family conflict, rejection, and chosen family

•    Religious or spiritual harm, and reconnecting with meaning

•    Relationships and couples, including all relationship structures

•    Substance use, chemsex, and recovery in LGBTQ+ communities

(If anyone on the team writes letters for gender-affirming medical care, add a line here. Only if true.)
