There's a point where pushing through on your own stops being resilience and starts just being exhausting. I'm Mike, a Licensed Professional Counselor working with adults and seniors navigating anxiety, trauma, panic, depression, and the kind of mood and identity questions that are hard to untangle alone. I'm LGBTQIA+ affirming and actively work with men who are ready to take their mental health seriously. I believe you already have strengths you may not be giving yourself credit for. Clients often describe me as direct, clear, and collaborative.

Rory Bergstrom

Rory Bergstrom

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Tucson, AZ


If you've tried talk therapy but still feel stuck, I offer a different kind of support. I provide trauma-informed therapy for adults in Tucson and across Arizona, in person and online. Using EMDR, somatic therapy, and ketamine-assisted therapy, I help people heal from trauma and move toward a life of greater connection and vitality. I especially welcome LGBTQIA+ adults, people with ADHD and autism, older adults, and people navigating PTSD, complex trauma, burnout, chronic illness, grief and loss, and issues related to sexuality and identity.

I am trained in EMDR, a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional and a Certified Psychedelic Therapist.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA Therapist in Gilbert

Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Gilbert starts with looking for identity-affirming care that matches your needs. A therapist with experience supporting LGBTQIA+ people may list affirmative therapy, gender-diverse experience, or WPATH training in their profile. You may also want support related to identity, anxiety, depression, relationships, family dynamics, or life transitions. Review each therapist’s listed specialties and approach to see whether their training aligns with what you want to focus on in care.

Gilbert has a steady mental health care market, and affirming therapists may vary by location, schedule, and session format. Virtual therapy can expand your options beyond nearby offices while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in Arizona. As you compare therapists, look for availability, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and whether their bio explicitly mentions LGBTQIA+ communities. A profile can also show how a therapist describes their communication style, session structure, and experience with people whose needs are similar to yours.

Therapy in Gilbert can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before booking. Headway helps you find many therapists who accept insurance, are accepting new patients, and offer upfront cost estimates after you enter your insurance details. From there, you can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
