LGBTQ Affirming Therapy

The Catalyst Center offers identity-affirming therapy for members of the LGBTQ+ community.

We know you are probably not coming to therapy just to talk about your gender or sexual orientation. Still, it can be helpful to know you are working with someone who has experience supporting LGBTQ+ folks along their quests for growth, change, and development.

Some of the areas we often support LGBTQ+ clients navigating:

Exploring identity and relationships
Couples counseling
Healing wounds and messages received from religion
Finding meaning, exploring spirituality
Trauma recovery
Support for individuals, parents, and families during the coming out process and beyond
Gender identity exploration and support throughout and transition
Support for gender queer youth and their families
