Laura Jacobs
You should never have to justify your identity to a provider. I offer culturally competent, compassionate, client-centered, trauma informed, and affirming psychotherapy to people of all genders and sexualities, whether you identify as trans/transgender/nonbinary, Queer/LGBTQIA+, kinky/BDSM, polyamorous/consensually nonmonogamous, sex worker, vanilla, or anything else… our goal together is your happiness.
As a therapist with nearly 20 years experience and winner of multiple awards, my mission is to improve the wellbeing of those living gender and sexually diverse lives… and to change the world.
We can be defiant. We are fierce. And we deserve joy.
