Do you feel like you don’t belong anywhere? Maybe you feel like you’re not good enough. Or not queer enough. Maybe you feel like you don’t fit into queer spaces. Perhaps you just don’t fit into the box assigned to you by society and family. Maybe you've been trapped by trauma(s) you experienced, anxiety, and/or depression. Maybe you’re a person that just wants to explore who you are. I‘m here to help support you as you begin to explore who you are as your true, authentic self.
I am a queer, trauma-informed therapist, who is LGBTQIA+-affirming. I help clients with identity formation (gender identity, sexuality) and trauma processing, and I do this by using an integrative therapy framework. This means I use multiple different therapeutic frameworks and fuse them together to meet your needs in a flexible way.
You deserve a therapist who hears you and sees you for who you really are! I have lived experience in not being seen or heard. I've also been where you are right now. Know this: you don’t have to fit into the box assigned to you anymore! You can break free! It is an honor and privilege to be considered as your partner in your healing journey.

I work with clients who may be struggling with their sexuality, gender, and/or trauma that affects their every day lives. During our initial sessions, we will collaborate together, build rapport, and create a plan to address the goals that you have for therapy. I have seen clients through challenging situations, watching their symptoms subside, as we build resilience, confidence, and self-advocacy

I often blend therapeutic modalities because I don't believe that one therapy modality is beneficial for every client. Each client presents in unique ways, which means with me, I utilize multiple therapy modalities to help support you.

Queer and Trans Adult Therapy and Support Group

Hosted by
Jen Rivers

Any person who identifies as LGBTQIA+, can experience a deficit in connection(s). This can be due to family dynamics, internalized shame, protective factors, among others. My therapy group offers a unique opportunity to heal by helping clients to connect, feel supported, allow them to learn about themselves and how they relate to others, identify and delve into their roles in their family systems, and work through relational conflict. This group is open to adults, 18+, who are queer and/or trans...all identities welcome! The next group opening is in October. Please see my website for additional information.
