Humanistic Therapy NW
Therapist, LCSW, LICSW, ACSW, CSWA
Each individual enters therapy with a constellation of unique life experiences that shapes that individual. Experiences, biology, modes of thinking, and environment create who we currently are. I hope to aid you in exploring your past, current, and future selves in order to help alleviate unwanted present-day thoughts, emotions, feelings, and experiences.

Finley Anderson
Therapist, LMFT
Being LGBTQ+ in a world that hasn’t always affirmed you leaves a mark — even when things look fine on the outside. Whether you’re navigating coming out, processing family wounds, working through relationship challenges, or simply trying to feel at home in yourself, here you don’t have to explain or justify who you 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.

Ryan Shannon
Counselor/Therapist, LMHCA, MA, MS
Being gay, lesbian, or bisexual can bring unique questions and pressures around identity, relationships, family, belonging, and feeling safe enough to be fully yourself. You may be exploring your sexuality, considering coming out, navigating dating or intimacy, coping with rejection, or trying to understand how past experiences have shaped the way you connect with others.
I especially welcome gay men, lesbian women, and bisexual people who want a supportive, affirming space to speak openly without judgment or assumptions. We can explore concerns related to self-acceptance, loneliness, attachment, relationship patterns, shame, family dynamics, and the challenge of finding meaningful connection.
My goal is to help you feel more secure in who you are, more confident expressing your needs, and better able to build relationships in which you feel respected, understood, and free to be yourself.
