Affirming, Supportive Counseling Services 

We believe that all people can benefit from therapy – you don’t need to have a specific problem to fix or an issue to work through. We provide a wide range of individual counseling services in an inclusive, compassionate environment. Our services include counseling for:

• LGBTQIA++ affirming counseling
• Gender-affirming counseling
• Relationship and family counseling
• Teen counseling
• EMDR therapy
• Trauma and PTSD counseling
• Mental health disorders, including anxiety and depression
• Grief and loss counseling

We help individuals who are facing specific traumas and conflicts, as well as those who simply want to feel more enabled in their ability to control their emotions, behaviors, and sense of happiness and well-being.

Why Seek Individual Counseling? 

There are many advantages to seeking individual counseling, including an increased understanding of one’s self and enhanced feelings of self-awareness. Some of the most common benefits of individual counseling include:

• Improved communication skills. One benefit of counseling is learning tools for communicating one’s emotions and better navigating conflict. It is critical to be able to name and express emotions in a meaningful and effective manner.
• Improved coping skills. There are many things that are outside of our control. Learning to recognize the things that we have control over and learning to cope with those we don’t is a skill that takes time. Coping skills like acceptance and self-soothing can help.
• Developing a new perspective. Often, we see the world from one perspective only, and that perspective may be warped or distorted based on personal bias or past trauma. Learning to see things in a new light and accepting that multiple realities may exist is an important part of managing mental health.
• Learning more about one’s self. Individual therapy is a great opportunity for self-exploration and development. Through individual therapy, you may learn more about your own personality, emotions, values, behaviors, trauma, reactions, and impact on others. With this information, you can make more conscious choices about how you want to think and act.
