LGBTQIA+ Affirming Therapy
What is LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy?
LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy is about more than exploring who you love. It is care that fully respects and supports your identity, from gender and sexuality to the everyday experiences that shape your life. It offers a safe space to work through challenges without judgment and to grow into your most authentic self.
Whether you are confident in your sexual orientation and gender identity, or you’re still trying to figure it out, we’re here to support you. LGBTQIA+ Affirming Therapy is about more than exploring who you love and which boxes you fit into. The mission is simple: We want you to know that you are not alone in your human experience, and that there are trustworthy people who will affirm your identity and provide guidance with your best interest at heart. Even if you don’t want to talk about your identity or preferences in Therapy, our goal is for you to trust that the therapist sitting across from you affirms your identity and sees you for who you really are.
At Becoming You, Center for Transformation, we pride ourselves on creating a safe and inclusive environment where every part of your identity is affirmed, acknowledged, and respected. Our team of compassionate clinicians is dedicated to providing customizable support to members of the LGBTQIA+ communities on their journey of self-discovery.
The process
A safe space, always
You should not have to educate your psychotherapist about your own life. Here, your identity is understood and respected from the first session, so you can spend your energy on what you actually came to work on.

Life Transitions
One of the most beautiful parts of our human experience is the fact that we never know what's going to happen next. For many of us, this sense of unfamiliarity can heighten anxiety and trigger feelings of fear and worry. Therapy can help you learn to embrace change and trust yourself to evolve as you are introduced to new experiences.
