Therapy That
Meets You
Where You Are

INDIVIDUAL THERAPY

We help clients across Idaho explore identity,
sexuality, and emotional wellness in
a space where all of you is welcome.

Individual Therapy that honors your identity, your experiences, and your truth.

At the Idaho Institute of Gender and Sex Therapy, individual therapy is a space to reconnect with yourself—whether you’re exploring your gender identity, navigating sexual concerns, processing relationship challenges, or seeking support for anxiety, depression, or self-worth. We offer affirming, trauma-informed care that celebrates your complexity, not just your pain. Our therapists work with queer, trans, and gender-diverse individuals across Idaho through in-person and telehealth sessions. You don’t have to have it all figured out to begin.

What brings people to therapy?

There’s no one right reason to start therapy. Some people come to us feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves. Others are navigating big questions around identity, relationships, or sexuality. And some are simply looking for a space where they can talk freely and be fully seen—without needing to explain who they are.

At the Idaho Institute of Gender and Sex Therapy, we support clients who are:

  • Exploring their gender identity or sexual orientation
  • Experiencing anxiety, depression, or emotional stress
  • Working through shame, trauma, or past relationship wounds
  • Struggling with sexual concerns, including performance or desire
  • Feeling stuck, isolated, or unsure of how to move forward
  • Seeking more alignment between how they live and who they truly are

We believe that therapy isn’t just about addressing problems, it’s about creating space for growth, clarity, and connection. Whatever you’re carrying, you don’t have to do it alone.

What We Can Explore Together in Therapy

Therapy is a space to show up as you are, and uncover what matters most.

Individual therapy can be a place to untangle hard emotions, explore who you are, and deepen your understanding of your relationships, your body, and your needs. Our therapists work with clients on a wide range of topics, including anxiety and depression, gender identity, sexual concerns, self-worth, past trauma, and relational patterns. Whether you’re facing a clear challenge or simply feeling out of sync with yourself, we’re here to support your growth at your pace. You don’t need to have a label or a plan, just a willingness to begin.

We support people dealing with anxiety, depression, life transitions, trauma, burnout, self-worth, and more. Therapy is a space to explore what matters to you, at your own pace.

No diagnosis or crisis is required to start. Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply looking for a space to process and grow.

Yes. Our therapists are trained in trauma-informed, identity-affirming care and can support you through healing, integration, and greater self-understanding.

Sessions are available in-person at our Boise, Idaho office. We also offer telehealth therapy through a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform for residents living in Idaho.

Not at all. While we specialize in LGBTQIA+ affirming care and topics related to gender, sexuality, and relationships, we work with clients of all identities and backgrounds. If you’re seeking supportive, trauma-informed mental health care, you’re welcome here.

We accept most insurance plans in Idaho (view here), and also offer private pay options. For those with out-of-network benefits, we can provide superbills to submit for potential reimbursement. Please reach out to discuss your specific coverage.

For billing, we accept most insurance plans or have private pay options. In most cases, no, your employer will not know you’re in therapy, unless you are on a self–funded plan. Even then, your specific therapy details (diagnosis, session notes, etc.) are private.

When you reach out, we’ll ask a few questions about what you’re looking for and any preferences you may have. Then we thoughtfully match you with a therapist on our team whose approach, training, and availability fit your needs. If we’re not the right fit, we’ll do our best to offer helpful referrals.

Most therapy sessions last between 55 to 60 minutes, whether they are in-person or telehealth sessions.
