Are you a queer or trans person who struggles to find a therapist who understands you? Do you find that you often have to educate therapists, who are allies, but don't quite have the cultural understanding of someone who's a part of the community themselves? We are here to help.
We are a group of LGBTQIA+ therapists of various clinical and cultural backgrounds who work virtually across IL and MA from Chicago to Naperville, Boston to Northampton, from Lowell to Fall River and everywhere in between, we are here to support you. Our therapists offer a range of modalities including expressive arts therapy, EMDR, and much more!
If you have been struggling to find someone who you can connect with and who understands you and your needs, consider checking out our website to see if there's someone on our team who you might connect with.
