Dr. Ylenia Martinez
Counselor/Therapist, PsyD
For LGBTQ+ clients, therapy with me is an affirming space to explore identity, relationships, family, faith, and safety without having to educate your therapist. We can address trauma, internalized stigma, coming‑out or “not coming‑out,” and build relationships and lives that feel congruent with who you really are.

Sarah Wolfer
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
You shouldn't have to spend your therapy sessions managing your therapist's learning curve about your identity. I built Courageous You specifically for LGBTQIA+ adults who want care that already understands their lives: the complexity of coming out (at any age, any number of times), identity-based trauma, minority stress, navigating family and community, gender exploration, and everything in between. I offer Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy for queer clients carrying depression, trauma, or the particular kind of exhaustion that comes from decades of not fully belonging. And I offer Somatic EMDR therapy and affirming individual or relationship therapy when KAP isn't the right fit. You deserve a therapist who gets it. Telehealth in WA, ID, and FL.

Cook Counseling and Consulting Inc.
Counselor/Therapist, LISW-S, LCSW-QS, CCTP
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.

LGBTQIA+ & Queer-Affirming Care
Living Authentically Beyond the Binary and the Burden
In a society that often demands conformity, the act of living authentically as a queer, trans, or non-binary individual is both a triumph and a labor. I provide a specialized, deeply affirming space where your identity is not a "topic to be managed," but a sacred part of your humanity. With my background in the QTAP Certification Training, I offer more than just "tolerance"—I offer a high-level clinical understanding of the unique stressors and joys inherent in the LGBTQIA+ experience.
Navigating the Minority Stress System
We don't just look at your internal world; we use Systems Theory to address how the external world impacts your mental health. We work through:
Minority Stress & Burnout: Addressing the chronic exhaustion that comes from navigating heteronormative and cisnormative systems.
Internalized Shame: Deconstructing the "inner critic" shaped by religious or social constructs of inequity.
The "Coming Out" Evolution: Supporting the ongoing process of disclosure with family, workplace, and spiritual communities.
For Individuals & Couples: Queer-Specific Relational Care
Using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Attachment Theory, I help LGBTQIA+ individuals and couples build secure, resilient bonds:
Chosen Family & Community: Exploring the vital role of non-traditional support systems in your healing.
Navigating Transition: Providing clinical support for individuals and their partners through the emotional and systemic shifts of gender transition.
Spiritual Deconstruction: With my Master of Divinity, I provide a rare sanctuary for queer individuals to process spiritual trauma and reclaim a sense of meaning without sacrificing their identity.
Affirming Your Narrative
Whether you are navigating rejection sensitivity from family, seeking letters for gender-affirming care, or simply want a therapist who understands the nuances of queer life without you having to explain them, I am here.
"The healing space generated between therapist and client is one of the greatest honors of my life." In this space, you are seen, you are safe, and you are celebrated.

Whether dealing with individual, partner or family issues I am an experienced resource.
