LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapists in Longmont, CO
As a queer therapist of color, I am committed to respecting and celebrating the diversity of human experience.
I work with individuals struggling with the effects of unresolved trauma, which can look like experiences of anxiety, depression, and panic attacks, as well as challenges in relationships and sex life. My counseling incorporates a mind/ body approach that is based on an understanding of the neurobiology of trauma and that is highly attuned to cultural and societal context so as to promote more possibilities for healing. My aspiration is to support my clients to feel keenly aware of their sense of empowerment, agency, and wholeness in the present moment rather than feeling defenseless against overwhelming emotions and bodily states.

I am dedicated to working with the busy parents, single parents, LGBTQA+ and neurodiverse adults towards increasing general wellness.
My therapy practice focuses on supporting individuals in developing lasting changes in their lives in a safe, co-created environment. Life transitions, anxiety that feels stuck, trauma patterns, feelings of overwhelm, and general states of unhappiness can all be processed, reworked, and released. I frequently work with individuals who have limited time in their daily schedules and feel they lack the time to practice new skills or make desired changes. Together, we will find those solutions based on your strengths and daily life. You can book with me by clicking on my website!

I identify as a queer woman, and love to work with clients on the LGBTQIA+ spectrum.
I see therapy as relational and collaborative. My role is to hold a space in which you feel safe enough to connect with your own inner world in a way that leads to a deeper connection with your authenticity and inherent wisdom. It is a space to work with the messy and painful experiences we encounter as humans, and to work towards feeling more whole and connected.

Navigating life's transitions? Grief, anxiety, burnout, relationship challenges, identity exploration, career changes, trauma recovery, or major life decisions. Many of my clients feel "stuck," disconnected from themselves, or ready for meaningful change. I enjoy supporting people relocating, exploring gender or cultural identity, caregivers, helping professionals, and those seeking personal growth. Whether you're in crisis or simply sensing that life is asking something new of you, therapy can offer a place to reconnect with yourself and move forward.

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.
