Pride Month, a time for celebrating and advocating for LGBTQ+ rights, can also be a valuable opportunity to focus on mental health and well-being. Therapy can provide a safe space for LGBTQ+ individuals to explore their identity, process emotions, and develop coping strategies, especially during this time of heightened visibility and potential challenges.

If you're looking for mental health support, finding a supportive and affirming therapist is key.

Dr. McVicker has prioritized creating safe spaces for individuals exploring their identity, relationships, and gender who are trans and/or gender diverse. She works with LGBTQ+ individual adults and couples to build on strengths and enhance relationships in a supportive, safe, and honoring environment. Dr. McVicker has advanced clinical skills through gender affirmative training and is experienced in feminist therapy-- a type of psychotherapy that considers the impact of social, political, and cultural factors on mental health. You matter and you are not alone.
