Queer Wellness Center
Affirming, Intersectional, & Decolonized Therapy for the LGBTQIA2S+ Community
The Queer Wellness Center aims to provide a therapeutic environment built for the LGBTQIA2S+ community that assists folks with self-discovery, change, and improving their quality of life on their own terms. We are anti-racist & multi-culturally trained to work with people from diverse backgrounds, and ensure that regardless of gender identity, race, religion, orientation, each client is treated equally and with respect in a safe, welcoming environment.
Therapy for everyone
We’re committed to providing therapy that is affirming, compassionate, holistic and decolonized for the LGBTQIA2S+ community. Our team of queer and queer-allied trained therapists at Mind, Body, and Soul Counseling provides trauma informed therapy for queer people that is centered around healing, liberation, and celebration of the queer experience. In a society that is increasingly the antithesis of this notion, therapy that is specifically for and by queer people and our allies is increasingly crucial.
