LGBTQ+ Affirmative Therapy

At Positive Regard Therapy (PRT), we specialize in providing affirmative therapy for LGBTQ+ individuals and couples and families. As a queer-owned practice, we are deeply committed to creating a safe, affirming, and empowering space where you can explore your identity, navigate life’s challenges, and embrace your authentic self.

Most of our clinical team proudly identifies as part of the LGBTQ+ community, which means we understand—on a personal and professional level—the complexities of queer experiences. We bring this lived understanding into our work, ensuring you receive compassionate, culturally competent, and affirming care.
