Laura Anderson LPCC, Eff Shame Therapy
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
You deserve a space where you are fully seen, not explained or tolerated. I work with LGBTQIA+ clients from a shame-free, sex-positive perspective, bringing years of experience and genuine investment in the specific ways that systemic harm, family rejection, religious trauma, and identity-based shame show up in our lives and bodies. I am completing certification in sexuality therapy and work from a trauma-informed approach that gets beneath the surface — because you came here to actually heal, not just be accepted. You already deserve acceptance. Let's get to the rest.

John Burkin
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LMHC, LPCC, LCPC, CPL, Registered Member MBACP
Identifying as a member of the LGBT community is not enough in my humble opinion to qualify me to be of assistance to clients. I have invested time and effort attending workshops, and continuing education forums to learn about the vast range of lived experiences which are represented. I do not propose to be an expert in any one person's individual life rather I share a desire of curiosity to know and learn and align with the goals you wish to create to heal and feel better while you know you are in a safe, non-judgmental space to do so.

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.
