Laura A. Jacobs, LCSW-R, PLLC

WE ARE FIERCE. AND WE CAN EXPERIENCE JOY.

As a therapist with over 15 years experience, my mission is to improve the lives of those living gender and sexually diverse lives via psychotherapy, public speaking, writing, and activism… and to change the world.

You should never have to justify your identity to a healthcare provider. I provide culturally competent, compassionate, and affirming psychotherapy where we can safely ask questions to help you make your own conscious decisions about your life. Our sessions are nonjudgmental, and client-centered, and are targeted at you and your needs. If you are so minded, we can simultaneously investigate issues of existential meaning.

I assist people of all genders and sexualities. Whether you identify as transgender, lesbian, gay, bisexual, nonbinary, genderqueer, gender nonconforming, kinky, queer, questioning, pansexual, asexual, detransitioner/retransitioner, Dominant, submissive, a sex worker, monogamous, polyamorous, unicorn, or even cisgender, straight/hetero, or vanilla… our goal together is your happiness.

I am also devoted to education – of other providers, of allies, of organizations – and I share my expertise on gender and sexual diversity through books and other writing, as well as through clinical supervision. I have provided several hundred lectures, workshops, and interviews throughout the United States and in Europe. I also have served on numerous boards and in other advocacy projects; all this to improve the cultural environment in which we live. And I have access to many resources you may need.

We can be defiant against the current physical and legislative assaults on our identities where ‘they’ bully the vulnerable, inciting hate, violence, fear, and despair. If you, like so many, are feeling distressed about the current world… I can provide support and hope.
