Navigating the teenage years is already tough — and for 2SLGBTQIA+ youth, it can come with added layers of stress, anxiety, and identity-related challenges. Whether it’s discrimination at school, misunderstandings within the family, or just needing someone who gets it — our therapists provide a safe, inclusive, and affirming space for your teen to feel supported and heard.
Our therapists are not only trained in gender identity and sexual orientation support — they’re passionate allies who work with your teen to build resilience, self-confidence, and emotional wellness.
As a student therapist, Anna seeks to know her teen clients as they wish to be known in this moment. Anna knows that with the right support, skills, and resources in place, young people can call upon their unique resilience to overcome emotional obstacles and problematic situations.
Anna’s approach to therapy with teens is eclectic and client-specific; she works with clients to develop awareness and skill around emotional regulation, helpful versus unhelpful thought patterns and beliefs, mindfulness, and relationship-building. In the therapy room, Anna is approachable and deeply respectful of every client’s willingness to bring their true self to the work. While she welcomes any young person, Anna is actively welcoming of neurodiverse and/or 2SLGBTQIA+ young people.
Loretta works with clients to create a safe, accepting, and non-judgmental space where they can delve into the complexities of gender, sexuality, and other challenges. With 13 years of experience supporting 2SLGBTQIA+ youth in community arts and mental health settings, her approach is rooted in respect and anti-oppressive care.
As a member of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, Loretta is dedicated to offering a space where clients can explore and express their authentic selves with confidence.
Delaney works to create a safer space for 2SLGBTQIA+ teens by inviting discussion and dialogue without judgement, avoiding assumptions and practicing from a place of curiosity. Â She loves hearing each unique story that is shared in the therapy room and brings forth her genuine self in response.
