how we help
.jpg)
We center LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, neurodivergent, and relationship-diverse folks and welcome anyone seeking affirming, collaborative care. No shrinking, no translating yourself, no pretending to be smaller than you are.
Therapy isn’t just about symptom relief. It’s about building a life that feels more aligned, more grounded, and more you. We support you in identifying patterns and relationships that no longer serve you and in stepping into what does.
the value of mental wellness
Mental wellness grows in spaces where people feel seen, safe, and supported. We help clients understand what’s working, what isn’t, and what needs to shift -- no matter their background, identity, or lived experience. Everyone deserves care that honors the full complexity of who they are.
let's work together
We work with clients from a wide range of identities and experiences. Here are some of the areas where our team brings deep training, understanding, and lived alignment:
ANXIETY, DEPRESSION & BURNOUT
Feeling overwhelmed, on edge, shut down, or unable to fully rest
TRAUMATIC GROWTH
Healing from single-event trauma or long-term chaos, abuse, or instability and learning to feel safe again
IDENTITY EXPLORATION & MANAGING MINORITY STRESS
Support for navigating gender, sexuality, culture, and relationships in a world that doesn’t always make space for you
DISORDERED EATING & BODY IMAGE CONCERNS
Struggling with your relationship to food or your body, or feeling pressure to change how you look
RELATIONSHIP SHIFTS & TRANSITIONS
Navigating conflict, disconnection, or changing dynamics with partners, friends, or family
NEURODIVERSITY AFFIRMING CARE
Support that honors your brain, your needs, and your ways of moving through the world; without shame or “fixing"

your whole self belongs here
Therapy should be a place where you feel seen, grounded, and supported -- not somewhere you have to explain yourself before you can be understood. At Half Moon, we center LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, neurodivergent, and relationship-diverse clients while welcoming anyone who wants affirming, collaborative care.
If you’re ready to explore what’s working, what isn’t, and what might need to shift, we’re here to walk with you. With warmth, curiosity, and a whole lot of humanity.
