LGBTQ Affirmative Therapy focuses on advocating for and celebrating people with minority identities encompassing sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression.

People within the LGBTQ community face different challenges due to their minority identities. They also experience unique benefits from connection to community and exploring their identities and experiences in the world. Affirmative Therapists integrate their education and training in counseling with their knowledge of the LGBTQ experience to help the client meet their goals while celebrating their queer identities.

The founder, Morgan, received their training throughout graduate school, one of the country's only LGBTQ-focused mental health programs. Tamara learned much from Morgan and received their certification as an Affirmative Therapist through The Modern Sex Therapy Institute. Many of our clinicians attended graduate schools where they chose LGBTQ or gender-specific tracks.

Rebel Heart Therapy provides monthly in-service training opportunities for our clinicians on exploring sexuality, gender exploration, working with women who love women, working with male couples, ethical nonmonogamy, and more. Supervision and consultation in Affirmative Therapy is a primary aspect of the Rebel Heart Therapy clinical experience.
