Queer, trans, questioning, recovering from religious harm, or just tired of being the odd one out. You don’t have to educate your therapist or defend who you are.
In person in Suwanee, online across Georgia.
Affirming care means your identity isn’t the problem we’re working on. It’s part of who you are, and we start from there.
Affirming is the baseline. You won’t have to explain your pronouns, your relationships, or your identity. And if we get something wrong, we’ll own it.
We name what’s actually going on. Navigating systems that weren’t built for you takes a toll. That’s minority stress, and it isn’t a personal failing.
We make room for religious harm, without an agenda. Whether faith is still part of your life, has changed, or is gone, we follow your lead.
Questioning is welcome. You don’t need a label or a plan to come in. We’ll explore at your pace.
Teens too. We see LGBTQ+ and questioning teens 13 and up, and we support the parents who want to get it right. Our teen therapists are on the teen therapy page.
Our values, out loud. Therapy is political, because trauma is political. Laws, policies, and how systems treat people all shape what our clients carry. So we’re clear about where we stand: dignity, safety, access, and belonging for everyone. You shouldn’t have to wonder whether your therapist is on your side.
Do I have to be LGBTQ+ to come here? No. If you’ve spent your life feeling different or like you don’t quite fit, you belong here too.
Do I need to have my identity figured out? No. Questioning, exploring, and “I’m not sure yet” are all welcome.
What if I’m still religious? You’re welcome here. We’re not against faith. We’re against harm, and we’ll respect what you believe.
Do you see LGBTQ+ teens? Yes, ages 13 and up. Our teen therapists are on the teen therapy page.
Can I do this online? Yes. We see clients in person in Suwanee and online anywhere in Georgia.
Do you take insurance? We’re private pay, which gives us independence from insurance requirements. We provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement, and FSA/HSA cards can be used. Each therapist’s rate is on their profile.
Come as you are. Or as you’re figuring it out.
start hereYou don’t need the right label. Pick whatever sounds closest, and we’ll figure out the rest together.
Overfunctioning, high standards, and why rest doesn’t fix it.
When your brain won’t turn off, and what’s underneath it.
Complex trauma, CPTSD, survival mode, and why your body keeps reacting.
ADHD, autism, late identification, masking, and self-diagnosis.

LGBTQ+ experience, minority stress, and religious harm.
Capacity, spoons, and living in a body that doesn’t cooperate.
