LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapists in Denver, CO
I specialize in working with individuals navigating anxiety, panic attacks, neurodiversity, sexuality ( LGBTQ+ affirming), complex trauma and PTSD.
Within the therapy room, I value flexibility, humor, and creativity. My approach is strengths-based and trauma-informed. I often incorporate somatic-based interventions to help clients build interoceptive awareness. I utilize various modalities such as art therapy, DBT, ACT, and SFT. I am trained in evidence-based trauma treatments, including EMDR and CPT.

I believe psychotherapy can help with almost anything. Sometimes clients come in needing assistance with making a tough decision, while other times they’re needing tools to help better cope with anxiety or depression. I feel called to work with younger folks - children and adolescents specifically. I typically see children who are experiencing familial issues, ADHD, learning difficulties, and behavioral issues. Adolescence can be uncomfortable and confusing. It is a painful time for teenagers. I am deeply passionate about providing them with unconditional support, empathy, and a safe space to share their emotions.

I have experience with clients who are neurodivergent, have PTSD and are LGBTQIA.
You’re smart and capable, but staying organized, focused, or on top of your responsibilities can feel like a daily uphill battle. Deadlines slip by, to-do lists pile up, and self-doubt creeps in. Whether you’re navigating ADHD, burnout, or a big life transition, you’re craving structure, motivation, and tools that actually work for you. More than anything, you want to feel in control of your time, your emotions, and your goals.

I am queer, non-judgmental, and semi-hip.
You find yourself constantly avoiding triggers, unable to go certain places or do things that remind you of your unresolved hurt - a lost relationship, childhood abandonment, the death of someone you love dearly. You feel limited and held back by your painful past. You get sucked into self help videos on Tik-Tok looking for a solution and find yourself feeling empty after hours of scrolling. Together we can face the past head on. I guide clients to work through past hurt and do the work to heal. My clients finish therapy confident, emotionally healthy, and free to move forward into a hopeful future.

I also have a strong passion for supporting LGBTQ+ clients and offer affirming care for exploration and healing.
I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches, including EMDR, parts work, and AEDP, tailoring therapy to your unique needs. As an EMDR Certified Therapist, I am especially passionate about using EMDR to help clients find lasting relief from trauma symptoms. For clients who are interested, I offer animal-assisted therapy with my therapy dog, Harleigh.

You may remember a time when you felt more connected to yourself—before the expectations, the code-switching, and the pressure to be “fine.” You deserve a space where all parts of you are seen, affirmed, and embraced as they come to life.
I’m Sam and I work with individuals who are exploring their identity (maybe for the first time ever!), navigating complex trauma, experiencing life transitions (that maybe feel all-consuming), exploring harmful religious experiences, and those curious about the way their lived experiences impact who they are and how they engage with the world.

If you are seeking relief from depression, anxiety, self-criticism, shame, feeling disconnected, or weighed down by trauma or other experiences, I'm here to tell you that healing and compassion for all parts of you is possible. I'd be honored to be right there with you in your healing.

As a queer and transgender couples therapist, I specialize in providing a queer-informed space for partners to do this growth together – a space in which the nuances of your gender, sexuality, and experiences in queer culture are understood and are not a sticking point of awkwardness or feeling misunderstood by the therapist during session.
The partners who work with me are often seeking support with communication, building a stronger skillset for conflict resolution, enriching their sex lives, attachment style challenges, navigating changes to a relationship structure, major life transitions, repairing past hurt, increasing intimacy, or reimagining their relationship after many years together.

I’m genuinely stoked about what I do. Being a therapist means bearing witness to the parts of our stories that don’t come with a happy ending. I’m drawn to therapy when things feel in flux; when there are more questions than answers, and showing up feels hard but worthwhile. If you’re feeling stuck, confused, or weighed down by the moment we’re living in, therapy can be a place to make meaning and find a way forward that feels honest and human.

I’m a Denver-based therapist helping individuals, couples, and polyamorous, ENM, CNM, and open relationship partner systems navigate anxiety, depression, perfectionism, relationship challenges, existential concerns, identity exploration, and life transitions. My approach blends existential, humanistic, and Gestalt therapy with Parts Work, creating a space to explore, understand, and integrate the different parts of yourself.
It's hard to accurately capture with words how much I love change. The work we can do aims to help you befriend change as a force we can learn from and move with- instead of pushing against it.

"Ex-vangelical" and former Mormon couples - one or both are questioning sexuality and/or gender identity, feeling judgement from both religious and queer communities for "straddling" both worlds.
My clients usually identify with this statement: “My peers are not really my peers - I can fit everywhere and nowhere.” Upbringing, sexuality and gender identity, neurodiversity, and trauma leave them able to merge with their surroundings, but often realize they’ve disconnected from their creativity, bodies, and uniqueness in order to do so.
Navigating profound and simultaneous transitions, my clients are often seeking support with leaving a high-control faith, redefining relationships, or experiencing sexuality authentically. They are seeking an involved and curious guide who knows their world and can help them get traction.

LGBTQ+ Therapists
Do LGBTQ-affirmative therapists receive special training?
Yes. Many therapists who practice LGBTQ-affirmative therapy have completed specialized training, either during their degree program or as continuing education, to learn the core principles of affirmative therapy and how to best support their LGBTQ clients; some have received certifications in LGBTQ-affirmative therapy. Prospective clients should inquire as to a clinician’s background and training to ensure a good fit.
Why might I want to see an LGBTQ-affirming or LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
Queer and gender-non-conforming individuals frequently experience bias and marginalization in day-to-day life. Working with a therapist who understands these unique challenges, as well as accepts and affirms their identity, can help LGBTQ clients feel safe and supported during therapy—allowing them to better navigate their relationships, mental health, and anything else that they wish to explore during therapy. It is important to note that many therapists can be effective in their work with LGBTQ+ individuals, even in the absence of specific training or background knowledge. The most important component in therapy is the alliance between therapist and client, and this alliance can exist between individuals with very different backgrounds.
How can I find an LGBTQ-friendly therapist?
You may wish to inquire about a therapist’s expertise with your specific challenges or concerns—depression, for example, or relationship strife—as well as their past experiences treating LGBTQ+ clients. Prospective clients may also ask whether a therapist has obtained additional training and/or certification in LGBTQ-affirmative techniques.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience with LGBTQ issues?
Prospective clients should feel empowered to directly ask therapists whether they have received training or been certified in LGBTQ-affirming therapy; competent therapists will be happy to explain their educational background and preferred approach(es) to help a client find the best match for them. Clients may also wish to ask how a therapist has treated clients with their particular challenges in the past and what they expect treatment to look like.
Are all the therapists listed in the LGBTQ directory themselves members of the LGBTQ community?
While therapists may choose to disclose their sexual orientation or gender identity in their profiles, the LGBTQ directory features not only those who have shared this information but also those who assert specialized training or experience in providing support to queer individuals, couples or families.
