Jill Verofsky
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.S., L.P.C., N.C.C.
Inclusion requires work, not just a hashtag. Slapping a rainbow logo on a corporate profile during June while staying quiet when actual rights are threatened is performative. Real allyship costs something—whether that’s calling out bigotry in private rooms or supporting policies that protect vulnerable people.
Internal accountability matters. Being marginalized doesn't make a community immune to internal issues like racism, transphobia, ageism, or classism. True solidarity means fighting for the most vulnerable members under the umbrella, not just the most privileged ones.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSS, LCSW
It's hard to be queer, gay, trans, or otherwise gender-and-sexuality expansive in a world that (increasingly) doesn't accept you for you who you are, thinks you're "making a choice," or quite frankly doesn't want you to exist. As a queer-identified therapist, I understand what a major difference it can make to have support people in your life, AND I know that not everyone has those people. By specializing in working with the queer community, I have made it my goal to create an open, honest, and truly (not performatively) supportive space where you can be who you are and bring what you really need support with to the table. Whether it's exploring your identities, finding community, setting boundaries with challenging people who don't accept you, exploring gender-affirming care, or showing up authentically in relationships, I can help.
Starting therapy can be anxiety-provoking at times, which is why I offer free consultations to all prospective clients. You can book a free 20 minute phone call directly on my website, and I'll reach out to you right away to confirm. We can chat about what you're looking for support with AND make sure everything feels like a good fit before scheduling an intake. I can't wait to connect with you!
