"Maybe you’ve never gone to therapy.
Maybe you’ve gone to therapy kicking and screaming.
Maybe you’re no stranger to therapist shopping.
Or maybe, like so many folx in our community, you’ve had a painful experience in therapy. Not having your identity affirmed or your relationship structure validated can leave you feeling unsupported and judged. Like you’ll never have the strength to open up to another therapist again. Our sex-positive, inclusive, and queer-affirming therapy collective is different."
