I prioritize creating a therapeutic relationship built on safety, validation, and cultural competence where your gender identity, sexual orientation, and personal journey are not just acknowledged but celebrated as vital components of your wholeness. Together, we collaborate on your mental health goals while honoring the intersectionality of your identities and the resilience you've developed along your path. My commitment extends beyond individual sessions to ongoing advocacy for LGBTQ+ mental health resources, inclusive community support networks, and evidence-based affirmative therapy approaches that recognize the specific needs of diverse sexual and gender identities.

Jan Anderson
Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Professional Counselor
I know how hard it is to find a counselor. You're about to go talk to someone about your pain or fears which makes you feel vulnerable. My first priority is to create a safe place for you. The most common feedback I get is, "you're so easy to talk to"
From there, we work together!
