LGBTQ Therapy & Transgender Support

–  Who We Are and What It Means  –

Issues of gender and sexuality can be difficult subjects, particularly in a binary-focused, Western society that can’t always claim to be well-informed. The issue of gender or sexuality is not taboo, though. We’re eager to give you the attention and compassion you deserve. Patient and caring while you discover, recover, explore and adore who you are, have always been, or are just now becoming.

Simple Modern Therapy counselors can give you the non-judgmental, protected and safe space to expand your own knowing of self, wherever you land on the LGBTQIA+ spectrum.

LGBTQ counseling and therapy is all about bettering the circumstances and thought processes influencing your life. We also want you to to foster happiness in yourself, for yourself. And to do that, you need a good understanding of who you are and what you want.

All facets of personal identity are significant in healing past traumas and navigating interpersonal relationships. It is also important in managing expectations, processing and resolving individual or interpersonal conflicts, and setting reasonable goals for the future.

All people who live outside heteronormative expectations and standards are disproportionately affected by issues and crisises of self-esteem and rampant bullying. Additionally, we can struggle with higher rates of depression, anxiety, self-harm and suicide. We also know that this part of your personal identity may be difficult to explore or convey, and we are not here to rush you.

You may be feeling ostracized, or isolated, confused about yourself, or not at all confused about yourself and only worried about how to best move forward to embrace all that you are. And of course, it is important you know that you are not alone, and that respectful, informed therapy is available to you for whatever part of your journey in self-actualization you are in.
