Whether you’re lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, non-binary, or queer, you deserve to have a counselor who understands the difficult situations in your life.
While each client has unique needs, my approach is Person-centered and Humanistic. I typically use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing techniques; however, I have an eclectic approach overall. I sometimes draw interventions from Brief Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. I also believe it is important to be multifaceted since therapy is not one-size-fits-all, so therapy will be an assimilation of different techniques that are catered to client needs.

I have special training in working with LGBQ and Transgender people and also with women, and I identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community.
After 15+ years of practice and training other therapists, I have learned working with someone who “gets” you can be nurturing and healing. I believe this happens when the therapist brings their personal authenticity to your session, and research tells us this is one of the most critical elements in therapy. Listening deeply, asking the right questions, and providing honest and helpful feedback tailored to your personality are the other skills that complete the picture. It is my passion to help people to change painful patterns, to heal, to become whole, and to find their life’s joy and fulfillment.

Hi, I’m Jaci Hynes (pronounced Jackie). I do my best work with individuals at the intersection of Queer, Transgender, and Neurodivergent. I utilize lived experience as a late diagnosed Neurodivergent person, and have had success working with self-diagnosed Autistic folks, as well as non-binary, trans, and queer individuals. I enjoy helping clients unpack and grow through their family of origin issues, those who have experienced oppression and trauma, and people who are deconstructing their faith and healing from religious abuse. I have experience counseling conversion therapy survivors.

Hi there! Welcome to my page! As a queer therapist, I have seen (and experienced) some of life's hardest challenges aimed at the LGBTQIA+ community- this is exactly why I chose to open my practice.

These areas include mood disorders, personality disorders, anxiety disorders, disordered eating, LGBTQIA+ concerns, gender dysphoria and depression. My hope is that my clients leave my office feeling heard, validated and with clear direction of the future.

What a time to be alive... look, honey, nothing is going to change until we dig deep into the roots of how we got here. We have to reckon with our personal and collective past before we can create the future we dream of. In that sense, healing is like vomiting: the only way to feel better is to get it out. I will be like that friend who holds your hair back as you release the gunk that's ailing you. This is a collective effort that we all must hold ourselves accountable to… so come find me when you’re ready to hug the toilet 'cause this shit probably won't be pretty.

You're not a cookie, and I am not a cookie-cutter therapist. Every person is unique, and my counseling approach is very much tailored to your specific needs. For most people, counseling may be a last resort, one final effort after they’ve tried everything else. Some worry that seeking therapy means they’ve failed; and for others, the idea of therapy is just plain scary or not the way they were “taught to deal with things”. Even so, the fact that you’re reading this means you want to take back control and begin creating the life you really want. Well, you’ve come to the right place!

As part of the LGBTQIA+ community, you deserve a provider who fully welcomes and affirms your identities, values, and lived experiences. Whether you are coming to therapy to explore gender, sexuality, or neurodiversity, work through relationship stressors or body image/eating issues, or heal from the pains of religious-based trauma, you will be seen, heard, and deeply valued in this space. In this collaborative process, we’ll work together to identify your goals and strengths to tailor your care in a client-focused way. From the start, I hope to meet you where you are at and ultimately, inspire personal growth and restoration.

I offer specialized therapy for queer and neurodivergent adults facing complex trauma, maladaptive self-image, dissociative concerns, spiritual and identity development, and mood disorders. My approach also addresses intersectional trauma related to family dynamics, religious abuse, sexual issues, and personal development. Trauma often intersects with challenges like anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and relationship struggles, affecting our mind-body connection. It’s easy to feel stuck and lose hope, but healing is possible. I provide a safe, inclusive space that is also sex worker-friendly.

Have you been feeling hopeless and alone, like no one understands you? Are you looking for someone who will listen to you without judgment? If this sounds like you, I would love to help. I am a first-generation biracial Asian American who is physically disabled, chronically ill, neurodivergent, nonmonogamous, and nonbinary. I also have the unique experience of being homeschooled with a history of navigating my own mental health struggles. I often bring my lived experiences into the counseling room to show my clients that they are not alone. My greatest passion is working with those who share identities and experiences with me.

You deserve an expansive and liberated life. Many of my clients are exploring what it means to be their most authentic self, and how to deal with the barriers that stand in their way. They're looking for a place to be seen and understood, and to be able to let down their guard. I see clients who are navigating identity, sexuality, and belonging; those with trauma histories, anxiety, and depression, looking for relief and a deeper healing that takes them to a place of ease and fulfillment. They may have tried other solutions, but feel stuck and eager for a lasting and meaningful change.

I believe that each person is the expert on themselves and their experiences, and my role is to be a supportive guide throughout the healing process. I always want our work together to be a collaborative process, so we will structure our time together around your goals. This is your space, and you get to decide how it looks. Some clients are looking to stay near the surface, and work on coping skills and solutions to daily life problems. Others want to explore further into their own past or their inner world..

As a queer non-binary person that is part of both the ethical nonmonogamy and kink communities, I know personally how hard it can be to find a mental health professional that understands. After my own struggle I decided to pursue mental health as a profession so that I could give back to the communities that have meant so much to me. Everyone needs help with life sometimes and everyone should be able to get that help in a judgement free way that affirms one’s identity. Even if what you are currently struggling with has nothing to do with your identity, it can still be good to find help in a way that feels authentic to who you are.

Do you find yourself at a crossroads and in need of some support? While change can be scary it can also offer new opportunities for growth and insight. Transitions can light up the unhealed parts of us, and make it difficult to discern our truth from the stories we’ve been told about who others think we are. My role in this is to help you discern what you want to take with you along the way and explore with you what’s standing in the way of you living your most authentic life.
