Here, you’ll find a safe space, where you’re welcomed & celebrated for who you are. Just as you are.
LGBTQ+ Affirming Care
The LGBTQ + community encompasses a diverse range of identities and expressions related to gender and sexuality. Studies show that LGBTQ + individuals, especially young people, face higher rates of trauma, social rejection, substance abuse, unemployment, and struggle with limited access to healthcare. These challenges inevitably contribute to a much higher risk for depression, anxiety, and other mental health difficulties within this community.
At Connected Counseling & Wellness, we are committed to providing affirmative care to all clients. This means that you will be fully welcomed, accepted, and celebrated for who you are.
In therapy, you will find a safe space to explore and address the context of challenges that you have been facing. This might include your experiences with heterosexism, homophobia, transphobia, or any other prejudice. Just know that, no matter how you’ve been treated by the world around you, I am here to provide unwavering support. From there, it is my hope that you will find boundless self-love and empowerment, so that you may live and love fully and authentically, just as you deserve.
I specialize in supporting identity development, navigating challenging relationships with family, friends and others. For clients in need of medical support for gender-transitioning, I also I often coordinate care with gender-affirming OBGYN and primary care providers.
At CC&W, we celebrate diversity, and make it a top priority that clients feel safe, welcomed and fully supported from the moment they walk through the doors.
