We have immediate availability, and we WILL CALL/TEXT/EMAIL BACK. Look no further, our LGBTQIA+ inclusive, trauma-informed team of clinicians are waiting to offer you the support you deserve.

Are you stressed, anxious, or concerned with one or more relationships in your life?

Do you feel alone or unsupported as you navigate various changes, challenges, life transitions, a new job, a new relationship, the loss of an old relationship, a new child, or a big move?

Are you, or a loved one, exploring your gender identity, gender expression, or pursuing your social or medical gender transition?

Are you neurodivergent, and seeking neurodivergent-affirming therapy?

Are you, or a loved one, struggling with grief, loss, chronic illness, chronic pain, caregiver stress, or healing after a traumatic event?

Have you tried to solve the problems in your life on your own and realized you need help from someone else?

  Are you queer, transgender, nonbinary, gender-diverse, asexual, aromantic, lesbian, gay, pansexual, demisexual, genderqueer, and looking for safer, informed spaces to include clinicians who “just get it?”

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you have made the right choice by being here.

“If I wait for someone else to validate my existence,
it will mean that I’m shortchanging myself.”

– Zanele Muholi

Freedom Lies in Being Bold! Begin Therapy With Us Today!

And we know this is hard. You’ve likely been debating seeking help for months, if not years. But we’re so glad you found us and have taken a brave step in pursuing therapy.

If you’re ready to:

• Feel empowered to be your most authentic self
• Improve relationships with friends, family, chosen family, and/or feel emboldened to separate yourself from relationships that are no longer serving you
• Take your life back from the heavy grip of trauma, grief, loss, chronic pain, chronic illness, unrelenting stress, or
• Create your fanny pack or sling bag (apparently they’re all the rage right now anyways – I see you, LuLuLemon sling bag!) of coping skills to better manage stressors, improve relationships, and live your best, most authentic, and fulfilling life…

Then we are ready when you are! Contact our team  of trauma-informed, LGBTQIA+ allied or identified therapists in North Carolina for your free 20-minute consultation, and let’s get to work.
