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.
