What We Treat

Affirming mental health counseling for every part of you

Care from clinicians who share your lived experience — so you can spend your sessions healing, not explaining.

Why Rainbow Connection Counseling Collective

Fully queer, fully here

A therapy space made for all of you. No need to hold back — we invite all of it. You’re welcome here.

Genuine Connection and Lived Experience, Not Just Allyship

Our therapists are BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ identifying. We don’t just support your community — we’re part of it. That lived experience changes everything about the therapeutic relationship.

No Code-Switching Required

Bring your full self. You won’t spend valuable session time explaining your identities, language, culture, or relationships. We already understand — and we build from there.

Expert Training + Real Experience

Licensed across multiple states and trained in IBCT, sex therapy, and trauma-informed care, our clinicians bring an anti-racist lens and combine rigorous training with authentic shared experience for genuinely effective care.

Accessible & Convenient

100% online therapy means you can get care from wherever you feel most comfortable and safe. No waiting rooms, no commutes — just connection.

Intentionally Inclusive

Gay, straight, queer, questioning, nonbinary, trans, BIPOC — everyone is truly welcome. Our healing space honors every identity without hierarchy or condition.

Intimate & Personalized

Therapy here is a genuinely relational experience. We center the client-therapist relationship as the primary vehicle for healing — not just a backdrop for techniques.

Harry Dixon, founder of Rainbow Connection Counseling Collective

A letter from our founder

Why I started Rainbow Connection Counseling Collective

“Clients like me needed a space of our own — a place where you can feel that your clinician truly gets you.”

The first time I saw a therapist, I was in college. She was a lovely, well-intentioned White Christian woman, and I could feel her compassion and care. But therapy with her always felt incomplete. There were parts of me I didn’t think she would — or could — understand: my Korean heritage, and certainly not the gay identity I was still keeping hidden.

That’s why I built Rainbow Connection Counseling Collective. As our collective grows, every clinician who joins us shares that commitment.

I’m so glad you found us.
