We take pride in providing LGBTQ+ affirming and HIV-competent care. Our counselors are trained to understand and support the unique experiences of LGBTQ+ individuals and those impacted by HIV. Whether you are seeking support for identity exploration, mental health challenges, or coping with an HIV diagnosis, our team is here to provide nonjudgmental, knowledgeable care.
We provide:
Individual counseling for mental health, stress, and emotional challenges
Family counseling for parents of LGBTQ+ youth
Trauma-informed therapy to help individuals heal from past experiences
Support for those navigating LGBTQ+ identity and related challenges
Coping strategies for anxiety, depression, and life transitions
Grief and loss counseling
Support Groups
In addition to one-on-one counseling, we offer support groups to foster connection, healing, and shared experiences. Our support groups provide a safe space for individuals to engage in open discussions, receive guidance, and find encouragement from others facing similar challenges. We offer groups focused on topics on LGBTQ+ identity and experiences and navigating life with HIV. These groups create a sense of belonging and empowerment for all participants.
