Our Approach with LGBTQ+ Youth
Child-Friendly, Affirming Support
We meet each young person exactly where they are — through play, conversation, creativity, and connection.
Identity Exploration Without Pressure
Youth deserve the freedom to explore without fear of judgment or being pushed in a direction. We create space to find language, expression, and meaning.
Safety & Trauma-Informed Care
Our clinicians understand the real impact of bullying, rejection, microaggressions, and social stressors. Therapy is a safe place to process these experiences.
