I have wanted to be a therapist since I was twelve years old after seeing a guru use his expertise to connect with a troubled child who had only known how to push others away. Over twenty five years later, I'm privileged enough to have found my own niche, working with individual adults address the impacts of trauma, anxiety, and depression. They have proven that the capacity to love and embrace life can be rediscovered, even for those who have lived through the unbearable.

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 a Therapist in Aurora

Finding an LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist in Aurora, CO starts with identifying what kind of support matters most to you. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, gender identity, coming out, relationship dynamics, or the cumulative stress of navigating a world that isn't always affirming. A provider with specific experience in LGBTQIA+ concerns can make a meaningful difference — look for licensed therapists or psychiatrists who list affirming care as a specialty and describe their approach in their bio.

Aurora is part of the broader Denver metro area, which means you may have access to providers who offer both in-person sessions locally and virtual appointments across Colorado. When comparing providers, consider their credentials, areas of focus, and whether their communication style feels like a fit. Many providers offer a free phone consultation, which can help you gauge comfort before committing to a full session.

Therapy in Aurora can be expensive without insurance, but affordable options are available when you use in-network coverage. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before booking. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Using your benefits is one of the most straightforward ways to access consistent, affirming care at a price that works for you.
