Our therapists take an approach with LGBTQ+  identifying clients that is affirming and strength based. Our approach is integrative and together we customize exercises that will nurture a variety of life circumstances.  During the process we will help you reprocess old messages, through a cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) approach to explore thought patterns, unhelpful thinking, and cognitive distortions.  These thought patterns can have a direct impact on our emotions, feelings, and actions, therefore we can re-frame them and start to re-process them.  Oftentimes, we find clients have consistent messaging around, “I should, “I must”, or “I can’t” and these can be what are defined as “shaming” messages. We work to remove shame and build new confidence. Our goal is to support you in building confidence by learning who you are. Our team will work with you to learn to respect yourself by having healthy boundaries in your life and accepting yourself without judgment.
