Queer-Centered Online Therapy for Adults Across Washington State
Carretta Queer Counseling
We provide a safe and affirming space for queer folx and their allies to process life’s stressors, build positive self-image, and foster healthier relationships.
We believe that everyone deserves to be seen, heard, and understood, which is why our telehealth services are available to adults (18+) across Washington state and accept a range of insurance plans to help make care more accessible.
Therapy That Meets You Where You Are
Caretta Queer Counseling is a queer-focused practice committed to compassionate, culturally responsive care that affirms all backgrounds and walks of life. Whether you’re working through anxiety, relationship challenges, gender dysphoria, or the everyday stress of living in an oppressive system, our counselors bring both professional expertise and personal perspective as members of the Seattle LGBTQIA2S+ community.
Self-help options are everywhere, but a caring, dedicated, therapeutic relationship can help you make lasting change possible. Even if you don’t believe you are strong or resilient, you’ve made it here, and we’re ready to join you on your healing journey and help you hold onto hope.
We work and live in Capitol Hill!
How We Can Help:
-
LGBTQ+ Identity Therapy
Explore your identity, heal from cultural harm, and build authentic connections in a safe, affirming space. We’ll support you as you work through life’s challenges with greater confidence, clarity, and self-compassion.
-
Gender-Affirming Care
Questioning your gender identity, experiencing feelings of gender dysphoria, or navigating social, legal, or medical transition can feel overwhelming and isolating. Our counselors have the expertise and training to help guide you through these experiences.
-
Relationship Building & Dating
Old patterns and fears can make relationships and dating feel challenging. Learn how to establish healthy boundaries, strengthen your self-worth, and work toward building healthier and more fulfilling relationships.
-
Depression Counseling
Depression can feel heavy, isolating, and unrelenting. We offer compassionate, evidence-based support to help you reconnect with yourself and move toward a life that feels more stable, meaningful, and whole.
-
Anxiety Therapy
Racing thoughts, worry that won’t go away, or being tense all day long can make every day life overwhelming. This chronic anxiety can impact our health, relationships, and self-worth. Drawing from mindfulness, CBT, and DBT modalities, we’ll help you break the cycle and feel more grounded in daily life.
-
Support for Life Transitions, Grief & Loss
Sudden change or loss can shake us to our core. Our counselors are here to provide compassionate and empathic support to help you heal, grow, and build a path forward.
-
Counseling for Substance Use & Chemical Dependency
When substance abuse affects your health, relationships, or daily life, the right support can make all the difference. We can help you build healthy coping strategies and create a path toward sustainable recovery.
-
Sex-Positive, Kink-Affirming Therapy
Relationships and intimacy look different for everyone. We provide a non-judgmental space where your sexual expression and relationship structures are respected and explored without shame.
-
Polyamory & Ethical Non-Monogamy Counseling
Polyamory and ENM are valid and fulfilling ways of creating a fulfilling connection. We respect your identity and relationship structure and can help you overcome any challenges and build stronger, more authentic bonds.
Why Caretta Queer Counseling
Choosing a therapist is a deeply personal decision. Here’s what sets Caretta Queer Counseling apart.
-
Online therapy via Zoom allows you to get the support you need wherever you are. You’re no longer limited to in-person sessions in Seattle. Log on from your couch, your favorite chair, or wherever you feel most at ease and connect to a therapist without the stressful commute.
-
Our therapists are more than just LGBTQIA2S+-affirming; they’re members of the community. They have lived experience and an understanding of the unique struggles that come with living as a queer person in today’s society.
-
Everyone deserves access to quality mental health care. That’s why we accept several major insurance plans and work hard to maintain relationships with participating providers. View our Fees & Insurance page for a full list of accepted insurance providers. We also process Superbills for clients with out-of-network insurance plans.
