Psychologist

I see my job as helping folks examine why we beat ourselves and others up emotionally, and how to do something different. Together, we’ll work on figuring out what matters most to you and navigating toward it. If you value straight-forwardness, humor, geeky metaphors, and having someone sit with you in the discomfort, we are probably a good match.

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 Denver

Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Denver starts with looking for identity-affirming care. A therapist who offers affirmative therapy, has experience with gender-diverse clients, or lists relevant training such as WPATH-informed care may be a stronger fit for support related to identity, relationships, family dynamics, anxiety, depression, or life transitions. Reading a therapist’s profile can help you see whether their listed specialties and approach match what you want from care.

Denver has many therapy options across neighborhoods like Capitol Hill, Five Points, Baker, and LoDo, but a larger local market can make it harder to narrow the search. Some people prefer an office that is easy to reach from home, work, or transit, while others use virtual sessions to access more LGBTQIA+-affirming therapists across Colorado. As you compare options, look for therapists who explicitly mention LGBTQIA+ populations in their bios, offer appointment times that fit your schedule, and provide a free phone consultation so you can ask about fit before booking.

Therapy in Denver can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs and understand what you may pay before your first session. Headway helps you compare LGBTQIA+ therapists who are accepting new patients, review bios, check estimated session costs after entering your insurance, and book directly when you’re ready.
