What Affirming Care Looks Like Here
Affirming care means your identity is respected, not treated as the problem. Your therapist will use your name and pronouns, follow your lead about what you want to work on, and support your self discovery process without assumptions.
Our affirming therapists use approaches such as CBT, attachment based and mindfulness informed therapy, and Internal Family Systems informed work. Couples therapy is also available for LGBTQ+ couples.
