Affirming, informed, doctoral-level care.

Being LGBTQIA+ or navigating questions about gender identity does not, in itself, require therapy. What often does is everything around it: family and relational stress, the accumulated weight of navigating a world that is not always safe or welcoming, the specific mental health concerns that disproportionately affect the community, and the search for a clinician who understands.

Meet Our Affirming Clinical Team

Affirming care at Commonhealth is offered across our clinical team. Our clinicians work with LGBTQIA+ clients on the full range of clinical concerns, matched to your specific goals and the clinician whose training and style is the best fit.

If you are looking for a specific specialty area, our consultation process will help match you to the right clinician on our team.

What affirming care at Commonhealth looks like

Our clinicians are trained in affirming, evidence-based clinical care. LGBTQIA+ clients seek us out for the full range of clinical work: anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, substance use, family and relational concerns, and identity exploration.

Depending on what brings you in, sessions may focus on:

  • Anxiety, depression, or trauma
  • The mental health impact of minority stress and identity-based experiences
  • Family, relational, or workplace concerns tied to identity
  • Support around coming out, transition, or identity exploration
  • Coordination with medical providers involved in gender-affirming care
  • The full range of clinical concerns that also apply to any client

Why it matters

Clients deserve clinicians who are competent, affirming, and not going to spend the first several sessions being educated on the client's identity. At Commonhealth, LGBTQIA+ clients get doctoral-level clinical depth in a practice environment that is genuinely welcoming.

Dr. Salerno helped give me strength, courage, and a better sense of my self worth. She made me feel cared for and supported. She has truly changed my and my children’s lives for the better!

I was in a tenuous situation. Dr. Mullen got behind me in my corner and egged me on to just put one positive foot in front of the other and find myself on the other side. Currently, two years later and I’m stronger everyday.
