Therapy With Someone Who Gets It
Finding a therapist who truly understands LGBTQ+ experiences shouldn’t be difficult—but too often, it is. At Persad, affirming, culturally responsive care is our standard, not something you have to search for. Starting with intake and your very first session, you’ll work with a team who understands you, so you can focus on your care instead of explaining who you are.
Our Care Covers
- Individual, Couples & Family Therapy
- Anxiety, Depression & Mood Disorder
- PTSD, Trauma, Grief & Loss Support
- Gender Identity & Sexual Orientation Support
- Minority Stress, Discrimination & Internalized Stigma
- Psychiatric Evaluation & Medication Management
A Place Where Affirming Care Is The Standard
LGBTQ+ individuals face higher rates of anxiety, depression, and trauma due to discrimination, family rejection, and minority stress. When therapists lack LGBTQ+ knowledge, clients often spend time explaining their experiences instead of focusing on healing.
Truly affirming care is still difficult to find. Founded in 1972, Persad continues to offer affirming care for the whole you.
Get the Care You Deserve
You’ve waited long enough for the care you deserve. Persad’s intake process is designed to connect you with the right provider quickly. You can reach out by phone, email, or through our website. Our team will ask a few questions, verify insurance, and schedule your first appointment.
We accept Medicare, Medicaid, and most major insurance plans. Cost should never be a barrier to care, so if you’re uninsured, we can help you explore coverage options.
You Can Make a Difference
Persad has been sustained by community support for over 50 years. Financial contributions, in-kind donations, and volunteer time all make a direct difference in the care and services we can provide.
Donate
Your gift funds therapy for clients who can't afford it, keeps the food pantry stocked, supports Phoenix Fitness, and helps Persad continue responding when the community needs something new.
Current Needs
In-kind donations of food, hygiene products, fitness equipment, and supplies make a real difference. Our current needs list is updated regularly.
Volunteer
Volunteers support events, outreach, the food pantry, administrative work, and more. If you want to put your time toward something that matters, Persad has a place for you.
