Flourish Therapy Inc

Flourish Therapy Inc 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, there 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.

In this session, you’ll learn simple, grounding techniques to:
•Decompress from the emotional weight of advocacy work
•Build resilience and prevent burnout
•Strengthen community connections and mutual support

We have a new Autism Support Group at Flourish Therapy!

Fridays at 7PM MST | Starting Nov 7 on Google Meet

We hope you are as excited about this new support group as we are because there isn’t enough neurodivergent spaces. Our Autism Support Group is a space for neurodivergent adults (diagnosed or self-identified) to connect, share experiences, and learn skills for navigating a world that often wasn’t built with us in mind. Creating community for the neurodivergent is essential. This group wasn’t created just for support, but also for a space of refuge, a space of belonging, understanding, and celebration of the different ways our minds move through the world.

Dr. Lisa Tensmeyer Hansen brings a rare blend of visionary leadership, clinical expertise, and lived advocacy to everything she does. As the founder and Executive Director of Flourish Therapy Inc., she has created a space where LGBTQ+ individuals and families can access affirming mental health care, regardless of financial circumstances. Her leadership has transformed Flourish into a vital community resource, offering free and low-cost therapy, medication management, and support groups across Utah and surrounding states.
 
Lisa’s impact goes far beyond administrative leadership. She is a practicing clinician, a trusted mentor, and a passionate educator. She has spoken at major conferences, sharing her expertise in affirming care and helping mental health professionals understand how to serve LGBTQ+ communities with compassion and competence. She is deeply involved in training the next generation of therapists, ensuring that inclusive care continues to expand in both quality and reach.
 
What sets Lisa apart is her ability to lead with both heart and strategy. She centers the dignity and humanity of every person-clients, staff, and community partners alike. Whether she’s advocating at the local level or sitting with someone in crisis, her commitment to justice, healing, and access is unwavering.
 
Lisa’s work has created real, measurable change and her influence will continue to ripple out for years to come. Flourish would not exist without her, and the q***r community in Utah is stronger, safer, and more supported because of her.

Marginalized trailblazers within the LGBTQIA2S+ community are those who not only fought (or are fighting) for q***r rights but also faced additional layers of oppression due to their race, gender identity, socioeconomic status, or ability. Here are some key figures who have been pivotal but are often overlooked in mainstream narratives.

How many of these trail blazers did you know about?

They’ve tried to silence, legislate, and erase us, over and over and over again. But every attempt to bury us only reminds us of our roots.

Q***r and trans people have always found ways to grow toward the light, together. In the face of political attacks, we find strength in community, in care, and in the unshakable truth that we will keep rising.

We love being part of this celebration in a community we don’t often get to visit, meeting new faces, reconnecting with familiar ones, and feeling the warmth and support that make this event so special.

And a big thank you to Mark Miller Subaru for inviting us to their annual Golf Tournament! We’re so grateful for the opportunity to connect, share our mission, and walk away with a $500 donation. This was our first year participating, and our team did an amazing job putting together a fun activity for attendees!

Therapy isn’t about forcing one path for everyone.

Just as AA doesn’t work for every person in recovery, faith-based or identity-changing approaches don’t belong in therapy either.

Real therapy is about helping people find their truth, not shaping them to fit someone else’s beliefs.

Conversion therapy is not therapy. It’s harm disguised as healing. It teaches people to disconnect from who they are, to believe that authenticity is the problem.

At Flourish, we know the difference between helping and hurting.

We choose compassion, evidence-based care, and the kind of therapy that brings people closer to themselves, not further away. Lastly, gender, affirming care saves lives.
