LGBTQ+ Affirming Counseling

HOPE believes there is room for everyone, including people whose identities, relationships, or families do not fit a traditional cookie-cutter mold. Counseling can make room for the concern that brings you in without treating your identity or relationship structure as something that needs to be explained away.

Eva intends to provide a safe, gentle, culturally sensitive, LGBTQIA+ friendly environment where clients can feel known and witnessed. She works with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families and integrates parts-informed, emotion-focused, attachment-based, and trauma-informed perspectives.

You may be seeking support for relationships, communication, anxiety, depression, stress, grief, trauma, life transitions, parenting, personal growth, or another concern. Sessions can focus on that experience while holding identity, culture, relationships, and family context with care.

Begin by exploring therapist profiles or asking our team to help identify a fit. Tell us who the counseling is for, whether you prefer Roseville or secure video while located in California, and whether you have a therapist preference. Wendy offers counseling in Spanish as well as English.

Counseling at HOPE is collaborative and shaped around the person, couple, or family in the room. We do not begin with a preset definition of success. Instead, your therapist makes space for what matters to you, helps you identify personal goals, and works with your experiences and strengths. You can talk about what feels difficult, notice patterns, and decide together where to focus.

Our therapists bring different backgrounds and approaches to this work. Some draw from attachment-based, relational, psychodynamic, parts-informed, somatic, emotion-focused, or cognitive behavioral perspectives. Trauma-informed approaches available within the practice include EMDR, Brainspotting, and Trauma-Focused CBT. Work with children and families may also include play therapy and Parent-Child Interaction Therapy. The approach used depends on the therapist, the client, and the goals you discuss together.

A first step does not require having everything figured out. You can read our therapist profiles, or call or email us and we will help you find a good starting point. If you have a therapist preference, let us know. If you do not, we can help identify a good starting point based on the concern, who will attend, the way you would like to meet, and any language preference.

HOPE offers counseling in person at our Roseville office and by secure video for clients who are located in California during the session. Wendy offers counseling in English and Spanish. A therapist will contact you within 48 hours, Monday through Friday. Before beginning, you can ask questions and learn what to expect so that the next step feels clear.
