Cook Counseling and Consulting Inc.
Counselor/Therapist, LISW-S
LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) issues therapy, also known as LGBT-affirmative therapy or LGBTQ+ counseling, provides LGBT community members with support and understanding tailored to their unique experiences and difficulties. LGBT-affirmative treatment seeks to create a secure and welcoming environment where clients can explore their identities, resolve concerns about their sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression, and work toward greater self-acceptance and well-being.
Therapists who provide LGBT-affirmative therapy know the potential effects of heteronormativity, cisnormativity, and other forms of prejudice on their clients. They endeavor to foster an accepting, affirming, and nonjudgmental environment of diverse gender and sexual identities.
Not all therapists have specialized training or experience working with LGBT issues. If you are looking for LGBT-affirming therapy, it is recommended that you seek out therapists who advertise their expertise in this area or inquire about their experience with LGBT clients during the initial consultation.
Overall, LGBT-affirmative therapy aims to assist LGBT individuals in navigating their unique challenges, developing resilience, and fostering positive mental health and well-being in a secure and affirming therapeutic environment.

Follow Your Compass
Psychologist, PsyD
BIPOC LGBTQ+ are all welcome in our practice, with particular specialty of gender identity (trans*, nonbinary, gender fluid, and others). We have close relationships with endocrinologists (youth and adult), and 7 years of experience providing evalutions/letters for surgical intervention. We understand that the journey is multifaceted and each person's identity is unique, we trust that you are the expert on your life. We'll be there to help in accessing social support, community referrals (such as voice coaching, binder info, or mutual aid), and referrals for the family. Folx we work with will sometimes have a specific need, and other times prefer longer-term support in managing nuances of feeling comfortable living an authentic life.
