We provide affirming counseling services at a subsidized cost to those seeking therapy. Everyone is welcome.

We support LGBTQ individuals, families, and friends with vital therapy to navigate their journey to understand their sexuality, gender identity, and spirituality. Many people feel unhappy and disconnected from themselves and the people they love. LGBT/SSA issues and LDS or religious values may influence those connections. If you wonder whether you can strengthen yourself and your relationships, th

ere are answers. New coping skills help you see yourself and your relationships differently and new brain techniques can help resolve old traumas along with current research that brings understanding. It's not too late to look at your life differently and change what's happening in your world. Whether you feel hopelessness, have problems with peers or parents, in a stuck relationship with yourself or others, find it difficult to understand or relate to teenagers, experience extended family issues that keep you from enjoying people you love, are carrying past trauma that continues to intrude and cause distress, or addressing LGBTQ issues, Flourish Counseling Services is for you. Our donors & volunteers make it possible for us to offer subsidized therapy. Flourish no longer will be operating out of the Encircle Center in Provo, and will be at a new location in the next month or so.

Hi Community!

We wanted to share another resource that may be meaningful for LGBTQIA+ youth and their families in our community: Belong Youth Conference.

Belong is a conference for LGBTQIA+ youth and allies centered on connection, belonging, resilience, and spiritual health. One of the things that makes Belong distinctive is that it offers a space that is both affirming and respectful of different relationships to faith. It is faith-affirming while also religiously neutral, which can make it a meaningful option for youth who feel connected to faith, uncertain about it, or simply want space to explore identity and belonging without pressure.

The upcoming Belong Youth Conference is scheduled for June 25–27, 2026.

You can learn more here: https://www.belongyouthconference.org/

We have a FREE support group we want the community to know about!

Loving your LGBTQ+ child sometimes means getting support for yourself, too. Our Parents of LGBTQ+ Children Support Group (including adult children) is a space for learning, unlearning, asking questions, and growing with care.

Thursdays at 12pm

Please give it warm welcome to our Therapist, Jennifer Shadel (she/her).

“Life can feel messy and complicated, especially when navigating identity, family expectations, or the weight of trauma.” Jennifer believes therapy is a place to feel seen and heard, to bring your full self without judgment, and to know you don’t have to walk this journey alone. She uses humor, warmth, and curiosity to create a space where hard work can also include moments of lightness and connection.

Jennifer especially enjoys working with teenagers and young adults. Her background includes trauma-informed approaches such as Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), Trust-Based Relational Intervention® (TBRI), and FASD-informed caregiving. She has years of lived experience supporting families through adoption trauma, disability discrimination, racism, and recovery from religious trauma. These experiences shape how she shows up—with empathy, advocacy, and practical tools to help clients and families build resilience.
She is currently completing her master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Northwestern University. She is a member of the ACA, AMHCA, NADD, and the LGBTQ Therapists Guild. Outside of counseling, she recharges through music, animals, and anything connected to the stage. These passions remind her that creativity and joy can live alongside healing and growth.

One day can change everything.

On April 30, Utah’s biggest day of giving, you can show up for LGBTQ+ people still waiting for care.

At Flourish Therapy, we support clients navigating trauma, family rejection, isolation, and financial barriers.

For many, therapy isn’t just support. It’s life-saving care.

One session can help someone feel seen.
A few sessions can stabilize a crisis.
Consistent care can change a life.

You can give $10,000 to fund a full therapy scholarship for someone who cannot afford care.
That scholarship can be named in honor of someone you love.

You can also give any amount to help cover the cost of a single session.

On April 30, your gift helps someone move from surviving to living.

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month.

At Flourish Therapy, we hold deep care for survivors, especially those in LGBTQ+ communities whose experiences are too often erased, questioned, or misunderstood.

The truth is:
Q***r and trans people experience sexual violence at significantly higher rates. Many never report. Many are harmed by someone they know. Many are left navigating systems that were not built to protect them.

So this month, we are intentionally holding space for:
•those still finding language for what happened
•those navigating intimacy, trust, and relationships
•those harmed by someone they loved or depended on
•those moving through legal systems that feel overwhelming or retraumatizing
•those who carry this quietly
•those doing the work of healing, in ways seen and unseen

You do not have to prove your pain to deserve support.
You do not have to rush your healing to be worthy of care. If you need support, resources are available.

Sapphic Support Group

Being sapphic can feel isolating, especially when you’re navigating relationships, identity, family expectations, and simply trying to grow into yourself. AND it is beautiful worth celebrating! This group is a grounded, affirming space to show up as you are, without having to translate or shrink any part of you.

At Flourish Therapy, we offer a creative and supportive container for sapphic folx to connect, reflect, and build community. Through conversation, somatic awareness, and gentle relational work, we explore identity, belonging, intimacy, and the parts of us that are still learning how to be held.

Visit the link in our bio to register for the group.

International Le***an Week

This is for all the le****ns:

The ones who knew early, and the ones who found their way later.
The soft ones, the loud ones, the questioning, the certain.
Butch, femme, and everything that refuses a label.
The ones reclaiming the word le***an and the ones still learning how it fits in their mouth.

For the le****ns who feel at home in their bodies,
and the ones still building that home piece by piece.
For trans le****ns.
For nonbinary le****ns.
For le****ns of color, disabled le****ns, neurodivergent le****ns.

For the ones who’ve been told they’re “too much” or “not enough.”
For the ones who’ve had to carve out space where none was given.
For joy. For grief. For desire. For softness. For power.

You don’t have to fit a mold to belong here.
There is no one way to be a le***an.

This week (and always) we honor the full, expansive spectrum of who we are.
