Find your Identity. Feel Authentic. Find Community.
Understanding and accepting oneself can be both a joyful and difficult experience. At Empowerment, we understand that this process can include unique experiences for the LGBTQIA+ community. Whether you are just beginning to explore how your gender and sexual identity connects into your overall personhood or if you have known this part of yourself for a while, we’re here to walk with you.
Individuals within the LGBTQIA+ community may experience a wide range of emotions, including joy, excitement, confusion, and grief. These emotions may be intertwined with other experiences, including body acceptance, relationships with friends and family, intimate relationships, and navigating your authentic self in a society that is heteronormative and cis-normative.
Our therapists offer an emotionally safe place to navigate and explore your gender and sexual identity. We use a blend of treatment approaches that support your journey of being your authentic self.

Whether you are exploring a new part of your identity or have been a part of the community for a long while we believe having a therapist to help you navigate this part of yourself can be profound. Our therapy sessions are designed to help you:
- Community Building: Identifying spaces where you can be your authentic self, the first one might be our office
- Identity Exploration & Development: Exploring the roots of your identity and deepening your understanding of your identities
- Building Emotional Safety: Creating a secure foundation to explore your experiences without fear or judgement
- Enhancing Joy: Releasing shame, grief, and confusion to create more joy in your expansive identities
- Letters of Readiness: For some folx, medical transitions (e.g. hormone replacement therapy, gender affirming surgery) can be an important part of their gender journey and provide immense gender joy. Our therapists can help you prepare for medical transitions and provide letters of readiness to help you access care. Learn more here: https://empowermentwithinllc.com/letter-of-readiness/
Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply looking for ways to enhance your life, we’re here to guide you toward greater awareness, ease, and fulfillment.
