Counseling & Therapy

 

Hello & Welcome!

Seeking therapy can bring up lots of feelings, especially for folks who are worried about receiving gender-affirming and culturally competent care. I’m so glad you’re taking the first step!

Whether you’ve been thinking about you gender, are ready to explore the next steps of your social or medical transition (what ever that looks like for you), or want to explore other aspects of your gender, sexuality, and race or ethnicity, we’re here to help! Our goal is to hold space for you while you process, discover, and create the most authentic version of YOU, with all your various identities.

We are intentional about taking an intersectional approach to understanding and valuing your various cultural identities from a multicultural, liberation-centered, anti-racist, feminist framework. We can talk through your experiences of gender, sexuality, race and other facets of your identities as we explore your experiences of oppression, privilege, resistance, and resilience. We are also a kink-aware and poly-affirming practice!

We work collaboratively with clients, families, and care teams to develop meaningful acceptance, change, growth, and healing.

 

Individual Therapy Sessions & Fees

Initial Consultation: We offer a free 10-15 minute consultation call to discuss what brings you to therapy, your goals, and to explore if we might be a good fit for you. Some may benefit from one-on-one therapy while other might be better served in community as part of one of our therapy groups (see below)

Ongoing therapy:

Intake session: We start with an intake session to talk about what brings you to therapy. Intake sessions are typically 60 minutes long and cost $175.

Ongoing individual therapy: After the intake session we can schedule regular ongoing sessions. These typically last 45-50 minutes and costs $175. Therapy sessions are often scheduled weekly depending on your goals and needs.

Sliding Scale: We have some limited sliding scale spots available for those with financial need.

**In an effort to make therapy more accessible for those with financial need, we are exploring grants and contracts that can help to offset the cost of mental health care. We are also offering group therapy at a lower cost. More to come soon!*

Insurance: We are out-of-network providers and we don’t take insurance. Instead, we can explore your out-of network benefits and provide you with a super bill that you can submit to your insurance agency for possible reimbursement. We can not guarantee you will be reimbursed by your insurance company, but we are happy to talk more about how this works and so that you know how to use your out-of-network benefits!

 

 

Letters for Gender Affirming Medical Care

We are committed to trans-liberation and seek to reduce barriers to trans-affirming medical care. No cost letters are available for those who need them.

We use a “pay-what-you-can” approach so that folks who are in a position to pay some or all of the cost can help to offset the cost for those who need access to a free letter. Call us and we can talk about what you need and how we can help!

 

Group Therapy & Coaching (Coming Soon!)

Do you feeling like you’re figuring this all out by yourself? Are you searching for a community of folks who share your identities and are interested in healing, growth, and change?

We’re excited to provide group therapy and coaching opportunities that help increase connection with other queer and transgender folks!

Community connectedness can help our mental health and buffer against heterosexism and trans-negativity. Our groups are semi-structured and focus on specific learning and growth opportunities to bolster community-based healing and resilience.

Group therapy will also be provided at a lower weekly rate to make care more accessible for our communities.
