LGBTQ Therapy
In Detroit, Ann Arbor, and Throughout Michigan
Who You Are is Enough.
You’ve known who you are for a long time, but the thought of sharing that with others is still distressing. Or you’re just now starting to realize a new identity, and it feels overwhelming to figure out on your own. You may be feeling isolated, uncertain of your path and the way forward. You know your identity is not the problem, but the world around you can make you feel that way. Perhaps you’re looking to process difficult experiences related to being LGBTQIA+.
A Space Place for LGBTQ Counseling.
Our clinicians can offer the support you’re looking for in your journey. We can help you practice getting in touch with that inner voice, to honor your whole self. With us, you will have a safe space to explore what it is you’re feeling and what next steps feel right to you. You can come into therapy knowing our clinicians will value all the identities you hold.
What is Gender Affirming Therapy?
At our practice, we recognize that being LGBTQIA+ is not the whole story. You hold many identities, and this one may or may not be central to what brings you in. At the same time, we are mindful of how this identity can intersect with others. It can impact the kind of care you’ve received in the past, or the kind of communities you’re a part of. Being LGBTQIA+ can mean any number of things to you, and we know you are the expert on your own experience. Regardless of the importance of this identity to you, or how you define it, we welcome you with open arms.
The Embodied Wellness Approach to LGBTQ Therapy

Respect. Dignity. Affirmation.
Starting therapy is not always an easy task. Sometimes we feel stigma around the idea of going to a mental health professional for help. People of all kinds face barriers to coming to therapy, but being LGBTQ+ can sometimes come with unique challenges. Perhaps you’re worried that your therapist will not respect or try to understand all your identities. At Embodied Wellness, PLLC we acknowledge that tolerance is not the same as acceptance, and here you will be fully accepted. Our clinicians are here to treat you as a whole person, affirming and embracing all aspects of your lived experience.
