  • Are you minimizing parts of your self to please others?

  • Are you questioning your gender expression, identity or sexual orientation?

  • Are you struggling with family, friends or community that makes you feel like you’re “weird”?

  • Does your queer identity make it harder to work through depression, anxiety or emotional well-being?

  • Have you experienced trauma due to stigma or discrimination?

We get it, and we’re here to help you

Finding a therapist who you trust is the most important factor in successful therapy

Free 20-Minute Consultation

Healing in a space where you feel seen, understood, and most of all safe.

Experiencing discrimination, bigotry and stigma take a toll on mental health. For queer folks, the resulting trauma can compound stress, anxiety, and depression.

Yet finding a therapist who truly understands your experiences can be difficult. The field of psychotherapy has a checkered history of mistreating vulnerable people, and especially troubling is the damage done to many gay, lesbian, bisexual, asexual, and trans people. As therapists, we must be intentional in ensuring we don’t repeat the mistakes of the past. This is an important part of our mission at Tamarasa Therapy.

Our team is made up of diverse therapists who specialize in providing competent and queer-affirming care. With both lived experience and professional training, we create a safe, affirming space for you to heal, grow, and thrive.

Stop trying to fit in when you were born to stand out

-Ru Paul

You may have had other people (even therapists) dismiss, misunderstand, or minimize your experiences before, but at Tamarasa Therapy, we’re different. We offer a space that celebrates your unique identity—where you can feel truly understood and supported.

We won’t just ask you to “act” better or pretend everything is fine. Instead, we’re here to help you feel better, deeply and truly, so you can live with peace, wholeness, and happiness.

You deserve to feel better—fully and completely.

What will I get out of queer-affirming therapy?

  • When the world feels so uncertain, it can be especially challenging for LGBTQ+ folks to fully embrace who they are. Our therapists are affirming, compassionate, and ready to help you become your true self. There’s no need to hide parts of you or wear a mask. They’ll be here to support and celebrate you every step of the way, honoring your unique journey.

    They can help you see that you are good, just the way you are.

  • While we love and celebrate people being themselves, we know that the world is not always like that. Many people who come out as queer are met with coldness, resistance and even hostility.

    Our therapists are trained to help you navigate these challenges. Whether it’s helping you with communication skills to get your needs met in relationships, or coping with stress, we are here to help you create the kinds of relationships and community that you want and deserve.

  • Many LGBTQ+ have experienced trauma from bullying, harassment, abuse, and discrimination. Even feeling ostracized or abandoned can leave a long-lasting emotional impact.

    Processing these experiences with an affirming therapist can help you heal and move forward with a sense of self-acceptance and resilience.

  • Many queer folks have felt pressure to try to change things about themselves that they cannot change. You may have trouble accepting yourself or others due to internalized homophobia.

    We accept you fully, as you are. And we will give you space to explore all parts of you. We want to help you to better understand your own thoughts, feelings and history so that you can develop a more loving relationship with yourself as well as others.
