Mental health disparities in Native communities are the result of colonial policies and systemic oppression that persist today.

Being transgender and/or nonbinary is *not* a mental health problem, and yet TGNB folks experience disproportionately higher rates of mental illness and suicidality.

This can be attributed to the challenges that TGNB people face regularly, including discrimination and violence, lack of resources, anti-trans legislation, lack of acceptance, rejection, and financial strain.

On Trans Awareness Week and beyond, let's work toward creating a world where people of all gender expressions and identities are celebrated and supported. 💙

Our Story...

If you’re here you may be wondering… where did Blue Boat Counseling come from? I realize it’s unconventional as practice names go, but its story starts when I was a kid. I loved blue, and it seemed to run deeper than just a favorite color. It went for all the typical things, but the practice name comes from our summer trips to amusement parks. I would get in line for the rides and always wait for the blue boat (or car or plane). Yes, this means I let other riders go ahead of me while I waited for blue, which always got a few looks. When I look back on that scene today, I realize I was just being the real me. And that blue boat is a symbol of being your true self, which is exactly what I try to help my clients find. So I decided there was no better symbol for my counseling practice than this one of authenticity and freedom to be yourself. I want my blue boat to be a reminder that you deserve to BE YOU.
