Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
LGBTQIA+ identities are often treated as something to analyze or explain—but for many people, the real challenge is navigating a world that doesn’t consistently feel safe, affirming, or understanding. Whether you’re exploring your identity, coming out, navigating relationships, or dealing with family, cultural, or religious dynamics, there’s often a lot to hold. Experiences of discrimination, invisibility, or having to constantly assess safety can take a real toll—especially when you’re expected to keep functioning as if it’s not happening.
At Nour Counseling, our care is explicitly affirming—not neutral, not “tolerant,” but actively supportive and celebratory of who you are. Most of our clinicians identify as LGBTQIA+ themselves, which means you’re not starting from a place of having to explain or justify your experience. We prioritize helping you build a sense of belonging—within yourself, in your relationships, and in the spaces you move through. We also address the impact of religious messaging or trauma that may have shaped how you see yourself, creating space to unpack and redefine those experiences on your own terms. Along the way, we name the broader systems and narratives that impact LGBTQIA+ individuals, so you’re not internalizing something that was never yours to carry. This is a space where you can show up as you are and focus on building a life that actually fits.

Dr. Anna Smith
Psychologist, PsyD, MEd, MA
Navigating coming out, identity exploration, minority stress, family rejection, or the unique challenges that can arise in queer, trans, or non-heteronormative relationships takes courage and support. I provide an affirming, kink- and trans-friendly space to process these experiences, reduce the weight of shame or external pressure, and build authentic connections—with yourself and with partners. Whether you’re working on individual identity, relationship dynamics, or creating the kind of intimacy that truly fits who you are, therapy here honors all parts of you.

Jess Clodfelter
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LCMHC, LPC, NCC, CCTP-II
You don’t need therapy where you’re educating your therapist on the basics of your identity — you need one where you can actually get support. I work primarily with LGBTQ+ folx, especially trans and nonbinary clients, navigating identity exploration, dysphoria, relationships, and the stress of existing in systems that weren’t built with you in mind. This is a space where you don’t have to shrink yourself, explain yourself, or brace for weird reactions. We focus on helping you feel more grounded in who you are, build self-trust, and move through the world with a little more clarity and a lot less second-guessing.
I also provide gender-affirming surgery letters through a collaborative, non-gatekeeping process, so you can access the care you need without unnecessary barriers or hoops to jump through.

I provide affirming, trauma-informed therapy that honors your identity and experiences while supporting you in processing difficult experiences, strengthening self-acceptance, and building a life aligned with who you are.

Dr. Yuye Zhang
Psychologist, PhD, MSW
I offer an affirming space for LGBTQ+ adults to explore identity, relationships, belonging, and the pressures that can come with navigating environments that may not fully understand or affirm who you are. Therapy can also provide room to explore the intersection of sexuality or gender with family, culture, race, and other parts of your identity, without asking you to separate one part of yourself from another.
