Queer & LGBTQIA+ Affirming Therapy

You are welcome here.

Everyone’s journey looks different — identity, love, healing, belonging. At Greenlake Wellness Group, we provide a safe, affirming space for LGBTQIA+ individuals, couples, and families to explore, heal, and grow. You don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone.

What You’ll Find Here

These are the core elements of the affirming, identity-centered care we offer at Greenlake Wellness. Each one reflects our commitment to creating a space where you can show up fully as yourself.

Affirming Care

We offer a space where your identity is respected, understood, and fully supported.

Identity Support

You can explore who you are at your own pace, with a therapist who listens and honors your story.

Relationship Healing

We help queer individuals, couples, and families build healthier connections.

Safe Community

You’ll find a nonjudgmental, supportive environment where you don’t have to navigate things alone.

Trauma-Informed Care

We recognize how minority stress and lived experience shape your story, and we work gently and collaboratively.

Gender-Affirming Support

Whether you’re questioning, transitioning, or exploring gender, we provide compassionate support.

Trans & Gender-Diverse Care

Gender identity is deeply personal. If you are transgender, nonbinary, questioning, or exploring your gender, you deserve care that is affirming, respectful, and at your pace. We offer a supportive space where you can feel seen, heard, and understood.

Our therapists can help with gender exploration, coping with dysphoria, and navigating transition (social, emotional, cultural, and mental health aspects). We also support you in working through relationship or family dynamics, healing from trauma, and building self-compassion, confidence, and belonging.

Why we are different

Queer and trans people are often misunderstood or marginalized, and seeking therapy can come with added layers of stigma, anxiety, isolation, or trauma connected to gender and sexual identity. Affirming therapy isn’t just “regular therapy.” It’s care grounded in a nuanced understanding of the lived realities LGBTQIA+ people navigate.

Whether you’re exploring identity, coming out, coping with family rejection, strengthening relationships, building chosen family, navigating gender dysphoria, or moving through transition-related decisions, you don’t have to do it alone. At Greenlake Wellness Group, you’ll work with therapists committed to inclusion, safety, and respect, with ongoing training—so you can focus on healing, not educating your therapist.

Support Groups & Community Care

We offer support groups designed for specific lived experiences, including our Queer Divorce Support Group. Across our groups and therapy services, we focus on building healing communities grounded in safety, trust, understanding, and mutual support. Whether you’re navigating identity, relationship change, grief, family transitions, or simply looking for connection, you’ll find a space to heal and belong.

We support individuals across the full LGBTQIA+ spectrum, including:

  • Lesbian, gay, bisexual, pansexual, queer, questioning
  • Transgender, nonbinary, gender-fluid, genderqueer
  • Intersex, Two-Spirit, gender non-conforming
  • Polyamorous, non-monogamous, and open relationship dynamics
  • Couples, queer families, and chosen-family systems
  • Young adults, teens, and elders—at any stage of coming out, identity exploration, transition, grief, or growth
  • People seeking body-positive, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive care
