For many in the LGBTQ+ community, the search for a therapist isn’t just about finding someone with a degree—it’s about finding someone who won’t require you to explain your existence. It’s about the relief of walking into a room (or a virtual space) and knowing you don’t have to “code-switch” or defend your identity.
At Console Counseling, we provide a sacred space where your identity is not a “topic to be handled,” but a fundamental part of the beautiful wholeness of who you are.
Too often, the world asks you to perform or adapt to fit certain expectations. In therapy, we invite you to do the opposite. Whether you are navigating the complexities of coming out, exploring gender identity, or dealing with the intersection of your faith and your sexuality, we offer a collaborative path to healing.
We understand that identity doesn’t exist in a vacuum. It’s woven into your family dynamics, your friendships, and your past experiences. Our therapists prioritize a relationship-first approach, ensuring you feel seen and safe before we ever dive into the “work” of therapy. You deserve a counselor who approaches your story with genuine curiosity and cultural humility, rather than a clinical checklist.
Healing looks different for everyone. For some, it’s about processing the minority stress that comes from navigating a world that isn’t always kind to people outside of the majority. For others, it’s about strengthening the bonds in their relationships.
For Families: We help parents and children bridge the gap of understanding, fostering a home environment built on affirmation and unconditional love.
Our commitment to the LGBTQ+ community is deeply rooted in our values of inclusion and team collaboration. We recognize that accessibility is a part of care, which is why we offer both in-person sessions in Grand Rapids and virtual therapy for those living throughout Michigan.
Whether you are seeking a therapist who shares your lived experience or one who is a dedicated ally, you will find a team here that honors your pronouns, your partnerships, and your path.
Healing is not about changing who you are—it’s about stripping away the layers of shame or “shoulds” that have been placed upon you. It’s about rediscovering the resilience and strength that have always been there.
At Console Counseling, we believe therapy is more than coping—it’s healing rooted in connection. If you’re ready to be seen for all of who you are, we’re ready to listen.
