“It’s not about what you are, it’s about who you are.”
~ Alok Vaid-Menon, Writer, Performer, Public Speaker
In a world that too often asks you to shrink, to quiet your truth, or to fit into a box that was never meant for you, we are here to say: Your identity is a gift to be celebrated.
Welcome to Queer Celebratory Therapy at Resilient Mind Counseling. This space is where you can be fully, and authentically you; it’s a brave space. A place where you can exhale, be seen in your full, authentic self, and embark on a journey of healing, self-discovery, and empowerment.
“Love takes off the masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within.”
– James Baldwin, Novelist
For the queer community, healing is a vital act of reclaiming your joy in a world that often challenges your existence. Queer-affirming therapy provides a crucial, dedicated space to safely unpack these unique experiences with a professional who truly understands and celebrates you. Prioritizing this journey now is a powerful act of self-preservation, allowing you to shed the weight of societal expectations and past wounds.
Investing in your well-being today empowers you to move beyond simply surviving and begin building a life rooted in authenticity, resilience, and profound happiness.
Queer Celebratory Therapy is a revolutionary approach to mental healthcare. It moves beyond simply “affirming” your identity to actively celebrating it. We believe that your queerness is not a problem to be solved, but a source of strength, resilience, and joy.
This specialized therapy recognizes the unique experiences of the LGBTQIA+ community. We understand the weight of navigating a world that can be filled with discrimination, prejudice, and a lack of understanding. We also know the incredible power that comes from embracing who you are.
Our approach is built on a foundation of:

Therapy can be vulnerable and new, so it’s natural to be nervous. It can be scary to think of opening up or crying in front of someone new, perhaps fearing that it will be awkward and uncomfortable. The fear around that can feel overwhelming. Getting the counseling we need can be challenging. And although it’s normal to be nervous, that doesn’t make it feel great. It takes courage to continue getting the help you need.
Therapy is a space where you can be yourself and feel safe from judgment, including feeling nervous. We’re committed to finding a way to care for your nervousness and ensure sessions are as comfortable as possible.
We’re here if you want to talk about it during a free phone consultation.
Take your time to read through this website. If you sense that we may be a good fit based on what you are reading, you can call us.
During a free phone consultation, you can ask one of our therapists about how they have helped other people like you before, ask how they work as a therapist, or any other questions you may have that are specific-to-you. You’ll also be able to tell them what’s up, and you and one of our therapists can decide together how they can help.
It will usually take a couple of sessions to feel comfortable and develop a relationship. During the sessions, you’ll be able to understand how comfortable you feel in sessions. Our approach is not going to work for everyone. What’s most important is that you find someone who you feel is the right fit for you. We can explore that together.
If something feels overwhelming or even terrifying to discuss, that’s actually very normal. It can often feel difficult to talk about some things. During sessions, your therapist will never push you to talk about things that are too painful for you to talk about. They will be there to guide you towards discovering what feels comfortable for you to share. Working at your pace, together you can look at the tough stuff if you’re ready.
You can also share with them that you are nervous to open up about something, and you and your therapist can talk about that too. Whatever is present for you. Whatever you are going through. Bring that to session and you can explore that together.
If you open up, we will not think you are crazy. We will think you are someone who’s very courageous. Many clients have had the same fear (that people would think they are crazy).
Through our own life journeys and working with clients, we know how “normal” your experience is.
You’re not being dramatic or “too much.” Nothing you can say will cause us to judge you.
We know nobody’s perfect. We all struggle. We all suffer in different ways.
Whatever it is you’re going through, we provide a safe space where you can feel heard and supported without judgment.
You might already know that you want to share sensitive information about your loved ones and you don’t want them to find out what you’ve said. So we want you to know that unless there is an imminent danger to yourself or someone else, everything you share is completely confidential.
There is nothing more important than your privacy.
You can rest assured that you can talk about anything without fear of that information getting out.
If you have specific questions about how confidentiality works, you can ask during your free phone consultation or anytime during your work with your therapist.
Overall, you can think of the first session as a structured assessment that helps your therapist get to know you and the challenges that brought you into treatment. They’ll invite you to share more about yourself, and you can also talk about what’s worked or not worked for your mental health in the past.
Some questions that your therapist might ask during a first session include:
You can ask your therapist questions as well. You might be curious about their experience or how future sessions work.
The most important part of a first session is that you see if you feel your therapist is a good fit for you. If you feel supported, seen, and at ease with them, you can discuss if you’d like to meet again.
Sometimes the hardest part is getting started. We’re here to make it easier with a free consultation—just a conversation, no pressure, only support.
