We have immediate openings! Affirming Pathways is a fully queer-owned and staffed group practice specializing in working with the LGBTQ+, non-monogamy, and BDSM/kink communities we are a part of! We offer individual and relationship therapy, with reduced-rate sessions ($100/50 min) through our PhD intern, Savanna, who works under direct clinical supervision for team-supported care.
We know how important it is for you to find the right therapist. We offer free 15-minute virtual consults so you can connect with one or more of our therapists and find the fit that truly aligns with your needs.
Our work centers on helping you live and relate with more authenticity and ease. We support clients exploring identity, managing minority stress, LGBTQ+ family and youth needs, all types of relational support (couples, friends, family), ethical non-monogamy, Kink/BDSM, neurodiversity (with clinicians who are Neurodivergent themselves), and more!
We’re dedicated to ongoing growth and training to provide affirming, up-to-date care. Our clinicians specialize in individual, family, youth, relational (Relational Life Therapy), and multicultural therapy, all with a queer intersectional approach. Reach out for a FREE consultation and find the therapist who’s right for you!
