It provides a safe space for healing through individual, family, and group therapy.

Group sessions and referrals ensure lasting guidance both in and beyond the therapy room. The Counseling and Therapy Services (CATS) program offers a confidential, welcoming environment for LGBTQ+ individuals and families.
