This journey can feel so daunting on your own…
As an LGBTQ+ individual, you feel like you're embarking on a solo journey in a world that's not entirely accepting.
This journey can feel isolating, as if you're shouldering the weight of judgment, discrimination, and misunderstanding all alone.
YOU MAY HAVE THOUGHTS LIKE:
"I feel alone and misunderstood. Will anyone ever truly accept me for who I am?"
"Am I wrong or abnormal for feeling this way? Why can't I be like everyone else?"
"I'm scared of coming out. What if my family, friends, or coworkers reject me?"
"The tension between my identity and my cultural/religious beliefs is overwhelming. How can I reconcile the two?"
But know this - your feelings are valid, your identity is valid, and we can support you on this journey.
You are not alone.
We are here to help you navigate the ups and downs of your emotions and experiences, especially in today’s challenging climate.
When you work with a therapist who specializes in LGBTQ+ issues, you’re teaming up with someone who truly understands the adversities you’re facing—both on a personal level and in the current political land(hell)scape.
We’ll support you in building resilience against societal challenges, embracing self-acceptance, and growing healthy, fulfilling relationships with people who get you. Plus, we’ll equip you with tools for handling the complexities of coming out when the time feels right.
You don’t have to go through this alone—therapy is here to walk with you every step of the way.
The therapeutic journey can be profound.
Imagine waking up each day feeling more comfortable in your own skin, fear and confusion replaced with confidence and clarity.
You get a true sense of self-assuredness, confident in your ability to tackle challenges.
Your relationships improve as you start to believe in your self worth.
This is what life after therapy can look like - a life where you don't just survive, but truly thrive.
The challenges you're facing may seem daunting, but with therapy, they can be navigated and even overcome.
We invite you to embark on this transformative journey today.
Your future self - happier, healthier, more authentic - is waiting for you.

We do participate with insurance however we are considered an Out-Of-Network provider. What that means is that if your insurance plan has out of network benefits, then you may be able to use your insurance while working with us.
We are partnered with Mentaya, an innovative platform that automates claim submissions to your insurer for each therapy session. This service allows you to access your out-of-network benefits with minimal effort, potentially reimbursing you for 30–90% of therapy costs once your deductible is met.
If you would like to check whether your insurance plan has Out-Of-Network benefits, then please reach out to us here https://www.empowertherapyandcoaching.com/book-an-appointment .

Such a reasonable question to ask, and there’s no one-size-fits-all answer to this one. Everyone’s journey with personal therapy is unique to them - and the work moves at its own pace. You and your therapist will discuss during your first appointment and determine how long and how often you will meet.
