Pride is protest. Pride is joy. Pride is care.

At Therapy Matters, we honor the brilliance and resilience of LGBTQIA+ communities—especially Black and Brown q***r, trans, and non-binary folks whose lives and liberation are too often erased or politicized.

This month and every month, we affirm:
🏳️‍🌈 Q***r mental health matters.
🏳️‍⚧️ Gender-affirming care is life-saving care.
🖤 Your identity is valid, even when the world tries to deny it.

We’re committed to offering a therapy space rooted in affirmation, intersectionality, and radical love.
You are not alone, and you never have to shrink here. 💛

Dr. Mercedes had the opportunity to speak with high school seniors about her experiences as a first gen college graduate and choosing her career path. Definitely sparked some curiosity about our own mental health as well as choosing it as a career path.
