LGBT Issues
Telespera Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor
When people think of counseling, they might picture support for life’s common challenges, but inclusive counseling goes deeper—it acknowledges and celebrates the rich diversity of identities, relationships, and experiences within the LGBTQ+ community and beyond. For LGBTQ+ individuals, those in polyamorous relationships, or people exploring kink or other nontraditional expressions, counseling can provide a safe, affirming space to navigate unique challenges and embrace authenticity.
Life’s “speed bumps” may include navigating identity, facing discrimination, overcoming societal stigma, or dealing with rejection from loved ones. For those in polyamorous or kink-positive communities, additional challenges may arise, such as misunderstandings, judgment, or lack of support from traditional systems. Inclusive counseling offers a space free from shame or assumptions, where your relationships, preferences, and identity are seen, understood, and respected.
No two journeys of identity and self-discovery are the same. You might be exploring your gender or sexual orientation, navigating the dynamics of consensual non-monogamy, or seeking deeper self-acceptance in the context of kink. Whatever your path, inclusive counseling validates your experiences, providing compassionate support tailored to your unique life and relationships.
Sex-positive and affirming counseling creates a partnership built on respect and understanding. It’s a chance to explore challenges, celebrate successes, and process the “speed bumps” that might arise along the way. Whether you’re working through relationship dynamics, addressing societal stigma, or simply finding your voice in a world that often misunderstands, counseling is here to help.
The good news is that affirming, inclusive therapy is more accessible than ever. With approaches designed to honor your individuality and experiences, you can move forward with confidence, authenticity, and pride in who you are and how you love.

Peter Gould
Psychologist, Ph.D.
As a licensed clinical psychologist, I offer compassionate and effective treatment for members of the LGBTQ+ community. My approach, guided by evidence-based therapies, is tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual. Coming out is a deeply personal and transformative experience that can significantly impact mental health, often leading to emotions such as anxiety and depression. Addressing these mental health considerations is crucial for ensuring a supportive and healthy journey.
Individuals may struggle with feelings of isolation, difficulty revealing their true selves to family members, and defending their identity. My expertise extends beyond the coming-out process to include support for those who feel unsupported in their personal lives. I focus on helping clients feel more comfortable living authentically, navigate experiences of rejection, and gain a deeper understanding of their sexuality.
