You shouldn't have to explain who you are to feel seen in therapy.
Non-affirming therapists often misunderstand, misdiagnose, or misappropriate the queer experience. At Allswell, we offer care that truly sees and supports you.
I loved my Allswell experience. I found the community aspect grounding and encouraging as I worked through my own individual issues.
I struggled to find a new therapist once I lost my job and got on Medicaid, but Allswell matched me with a great one that didn't break the bank.
I loved having supportive people to talk to who resonated with my struggles, and a therapist there to provide solutions and expert support.
I felt safe, seen, connected, and understood. We were dealing with dark, difficult topics, but I left feeling more in control with new tools.
No matter where you are in your journey, I am here for you with judgement-free, support. I am comfortable sitting with you in your darkest spaces, celebrating your victories, sifting through overwhelm when everything feels like chaos, and everything in-between.
