This is a queer safe space but I work with anyone ages 3 and up.
Hi! I’m Leah, and I am taking new clients! I work with adults, teens, and children. My first goal is to create a safe and non-judgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, but empowered too. My approach is collaborative, but I will show up authentically in the therapy space. My ideal client might be someone who’s tired of pretending they’re “fine,” ready to get real about their stressors, and brave enough to laugh a little while figuring it all out. But I promise to also create a space if you aren't sure what you need and know you just need to have a safe space to talk.

Is life becoming a struggle? Are you ready for change?
Is life becoming a struggle? Are you ready for change?
Are you someone who is often described as a survivor? You’ve figured out how to adapt and get through hard situations, but you’re feeling drained or lacking a deeper sense of meaning and purpose in your life. Maybe you’re ready to move from surviving to thriving.
Sometimes the things we do to “survive” or “get through” can keep us stuck in patterns that prevent us from reaching our goals or finding meaning and happiness. You might find yourself stuck in patterns of post-traumatic stress disorder, insomnia, depression, anxiety, unhealthy relationships, stress, unresolved grief, or an eating disorder.

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.
