Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 16 mi away • Scottsdale, AZ


I work with people who feel caught between who they've been and who they're becoming. Many of my clients are navigating trauma, identity shifts, major life transitions, or a longing to feel more connected to themselves and the people around them. Often, they arrive feeling overwhelmed by change, weighed down by old roles or patterns, and uncertain about what comes next.

My goal is to create a space where you can slow down, explore what you're carrying, and begin moving toward a life that feels more authentic, grounded, and aligned with who you are.

That saying, "What doesn't kill me makes me stronger" -- I think it should be "What doesn't kill me makes me suffer." So many people feel unheard, disconnected, tired, worthless, fearful, sad, anxious and forgettable. They need the skills to nurture their resilience, to discern their incredible value. There's a loneliness in struggling. But I'm here to help you heal yourself with a new, creative perspective and find resources you didn't know you possessed.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 17 mi away • Tempe, AZ


Hi, I'm Eevee. (Yep, like the Pokémon, lol) I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor, and I believe therapy works best when you can show up as your whole self, knowing that your experiences, identities, values, culture, and strengths will be respected and welcomed.

As a Black, LGBTQ+ identified, gender-nonconforming therapist, my own lived experiences have shaped how I understand identity, belonging, authenticity, community, and the ways our environments can influence our well-being. These experiences inform my commitment to providing culturally responsive care and creating a therapeutic space where you don't have to hide or minimize important parts of who you are.

My work is collaborative, trauma-informed, and grounded in the belief that people have an incredible capacity for growth. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, identity, stress, and other experiences that can make life feel difficult or disconnected.

At the heart of my work is a simple philosophy: I am less interested in helping you simply get through life. I want to support you as you Grow Through Life—developing greater understanding, skills, courage, and connection along the way.

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 a LGBTQIA+ Therapist in Glendale

Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Glendale starts with choosing someone who offers identity-affirming care. You may want support related to gender identity, sexuality, family relationships, stress, anxiety, depression, or life changes. Look for a therapist whose profile lists experience with LGBTQIA+ populations, affirmative therapy, gender-diverse care, or World Professional Association for Transgender Health training. The right fit goes beyond credentials — a therapist’s bio can show how they talk about identity, respect, and what to expect in sessions.

In a mid-size city like Glendale, local options may give you a mix of in-person and virtual choices, while virtual therapy can expand access to LGBTQ affirming therapy in Glendale and nearby Arizona communities. As you compare therapists, consider appointment availability, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and whether their background or approach matches what you want from care. Provider profiles can also help you spot clear fit signals, such as experience with therapy for gender identity in Glendale, LGBTQ counseling, or support for queer and transgender people.

Therapy in Glendale can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and Headway helps make that part clearer before you book. You can enter your insurance details to see estimated out-of-pocket costs, compare LGBTQ friendly therapists in Glendale, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
