About Birch Psychology

At Birch Psychology, our mission is to create a welcoming environment in which people from every background and identity feel welcome and supported. 

All of our therapists are committed to creating a safe space for those in the LGBTQ+ community. Many of our counselors have specialty training and expertise for working with LGBTQ+ youth, adults, couples, and families and strive to help them reach their full potential through queer affirmative care. Our counseling services allow a person to heal from their experiences and develop their sexual and gender identities without judgement and with full support.

New clients are matched with a therapist based on their presenting concerns and needs, and we ensure the person they work with is someone who is fully supportive and knowledgeable about any issue they bring in to the therapy environment. New clients have choices between many therapists from a variety of racial backgrounds, sexual orientations, and other identities.

As a disclaimer, we will be using the terms "LGBTQ" and "LGBTQIA+" interchangeably throughout this article.

FAQs about LGBTQ therapy

  • Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and other queer individuals experience unique challenges. They can have a more difficult time finding care providers who understand and affirm their identities.

    Queer affirmative therapists are therapists who seek to help lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender individuals heal trauma and navigate their lives, relationships, and personal identities. They affirm a client's sexual identity, sexual orientation, and gender identity while providing care for psychological concerns eating disorders, anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, addiction, parenting, and specific LGBTQ issues.

    All of the above counselors, as well as the remainder of our team, are queer affirmative therapists!

  • Health care has historically focused on heteronormative research, customs, and procedures. Finding therapists that understand, empathize, and normalize members of the LGBTQIA+ community ensures that discrimination can be ended.

    No matter how they identify, a client should be able to see a counselor who offers support throughout a transition and a space to express feelings free of judgement. A client should be provided with counselors who offer them unconditional understanding.
