Reason for joining the directory

I would like to work within my own community to provide quality mental health care. I am especially drawn to working with queer couples and neurodivergent queer folks, as in my own experience seeking therapy, it can be very difficult to find a provider who matches your lived experiences and identity. We need more queer therapists. At this time, I am completing my internship (through August 2026) and offering free psychotherapy sessions through that time. I would like to be a resource, especially to those members of our community who are uninsured, underinsured, or otherwise lack access to quality care.
