About identity issues

Questions of self, culture, gender, sexuality, faith, or role that ask for room to sort through. The therapists below specialize in this area — they've built their practice around it and have the training and experience to take it seriously.

Different therapists use different approaches: cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) interrupts unhelpful patterns of thinking, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) shifts the relationship you have with your thoughts, and trauma-focused approaches like EMDR or somatic therapy address what lives in the body. There's no single right approach — there's the one that works for you, and we'll help you find someone who can fit theirs to your situation.

You don't have to know what kind of therapy you want before you reach out. The matching form is a few questions about what brings you in and how you'd like to pay. We follow up within one business day.
