LGBTQ+ Therapy
Online queer and trans-affirming counseling in Colorado and Texas
Supporting the spectrum
Care to Share Counseling provides therapy for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, nonbinary, queer, questioning, intersex, allies, asexual, and pansexual persons in Colorado and Texas.
Your LGBTQ+ journey is unique
Being gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer, or questioning comes with unique experiences, strengths, and challenges.
It can be difficult for others to understand the challenges you face in your life as a result, which can make you feel more isolated or alone.
LGBTQ+ people come to see me when they are working with a range of psychological issues, including:
• Understanding sexual and gender identity concerns
• Desiring a feeling of safety and acceptance
• Navigating dating, romantic relationships, sex, and marriage
• Managing adoption, surrogacy, pregnancy, and parenting issues
• Impact on relationships with family and friends
• Depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and other psychological symptoms
I can help.
Are you struggling with symptoms of anxiety? Depression? Life/work balance? Can’t seem to find someone who gets you? Finding the right support for yourself can be difficult. It often helps people feel more comfortable knowing they are working with someone who shares a similar cultural background.
I understand the LGBTQ+ community because I was raised in it and I am a part of it. I offer safe spaces for people living outside the heteronormative lens to explore their identity and expression of self. I encourage diversity and embrace uniqueness. However you identify or express yourself, I support you. My therapeutic services come from a place of experience and understanding.
Families and Relationships
As with families, relationships can look very different between same-sex, cis, and trans partners, or in polyamorous relationships. Those whose relationships fall outside the heteronorm may feel misunderstood by therapists who are less familiar with the dynamics.
People in the queer community often have multiple families. Most often these come as ‘families of origin’ and ‘chosen families.’ Many adults in the community seek to learn more about their relationship with their family of origin, to strengthen them or reconnect with loved ones. Some seek to strengthen the relationships in their chosen families or bring those members into family therapy.
Whatever your motivation, I am able to help. I have a thorough understanding of the many varieties of ‘family.’ I offer you a space to explore what your family members mean to you, biological or chosen, and what you mean to them.
Safe and accepting
Have no fear! I get you, all of you. I can offer you support around your relationship dynamics, setting boundaries, safety, or whatever else you need.
I want you to be comfortable being you.
I meet you exactly where you are. Together we'll develop an approach to working through your concerns that fits with who you are and what you're looking to achieve.
