LGBTQIA2S+ Affirming Therapy in Colorado Springs

You don’t have to shrink, translate, or hide here.
Your healing starts with being fully seen.

Why LGBTQIA2S+ Affirming Therapy Matters

You deserve a therapy space where all of you is welcome—without needing to perform, translate, or shrink yourself.

You are enough, just as you are.

Maybe therapy hasn’t always felt safe.

Maybe you’ve had to over-explain who you are, push down your pain, or mask your neurodivergence just to feel acceptable.

Maybe you were told you had to choose between your queerness and your spirituality.

Maybe you’ve spent years trying to unlearn the belief that your identity is something to fix.

Maybe you learned that love had limits. That safety came with conditions. That in order to survive, you had to hide, edit, or silence the most tender parts of yourself.

You deserve a healing space that honors every part of you—your creativity, your complexity, your courage.

Because healing isn’t just about “accepting” your identity.

It’s about reclaiming the parts of you that were dismissed, shamed, or misunderstood—including your sensitivity and your right to belong.

At ArtFully You Therapy, LGBTQIA2S+ affirming care means:

This work is personal to me.

It’s not just theory—it’s a commitment, a value, and a lived understanding of what it means to come home to yourself.

  • You don’t have to educate your therapist about your identity.

  • You don’t have to mask your feelings, soften your truth, or minimize your pain.

  • You are already whole—and your journey deserves to be honored in its full complexity.

What We Can Work Through Together

Every part of your story matters.

In therapy, we can explore:

  • Religious Trauma & Spiritual Abuse

    Especially from purity culture, high-control groups, or conditional love.

  • Neurodivergent Overwhelm

    Masking, burnout, and sensitive nervous systems deserve care too.

  • Gender Identity & Transition Support

    A safe space to explore and affirm who you are—on your own terms.

  • Family Disconnection & Grief

    Navigating rejection and building self-belonging.

  • Burnout & Identity Fatigue

    For when you’ve been the strong one for too long.

  • Healing Through Creativity

    Expressive arts, movement, and parts work that help you reconnect with yourself.

What It’s Like to Work Together

What It’s Like to Work Together *

Every session is shaped by you—your needs, your pace, your story.

Some days, you might come in with something to unpack.

Other days, you might just need space to breathe, cry, or be witnessed.

Our work might include:

  • Talk therapy that honors your story without rushing it

  • IFS (Internal Family Systems) to connect with and care for your inner parts

  • EMDR to process trauma and reduce emotional overwhelm

  • Expressive arts to access creativity and nonverbal healing

  • Somatic awareness to ground you in your body

You get to show up exactly as you are.

Is this work calling you?

If you're tired of shrinking yourself to fit what others expect...

If you're longing for a space where you can finally exhale...

If you're ready to explore who you are beyond what you were told to be...

You don’t have to do it alone.

Therapy can be a place where you are seen fully, held gently, and supported as you reclaim your voice, your creativity, and your sense of self.
