Affirming therapy
for all Washingtonians
LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and Asian American affirming online therapy across Washington State — Seattle, Tacoma, Spokane, Olympia, and beyond. No code-switching. No explaining yourself. Just care that meets you where you are.
We're here for
Washington's LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities
Washington State is home to one of the Pacific Northwest's most vibrant and visible LGBTQ+ communities — yet truly affirming, culturally competent mental health care remains difficult to find. Too many queer and BIPOC Washingtonians sit across from therapists who treat queerness as a side note, or who ask their clients of color to explain their own lived experience mid-session.
At Rainbow Connection Counseling Collective, our therapists are LGBTQ+ and BIPOC identifying — bringing lived experience alongside rigorous clinical training. Whether you're in Seattle navigating the pressures of visibility, in Spokane dealing with isolation as a queer person, or anywhere across Washington State seeking care that honors your whole self — we're here.
We offer 100% telehealth therapy across Washington, meaning you can access affirming care from your home, your car, or wherever you feel safest — without the commute, the waiting room, or the exhausting performance of being "presentable."
Affirming mental health care
across all of life's challenges
Evidence-based, identity-affirming therapy for the full spectrum of mental health and relationship needs — available to all Washingtonians via telehealth.
Serving LGBTQ+ Washingtonians
from every corner of the state
Because we're 100% telehealth, geography is never a barrier to affirming care. We serve clients across all of Washington.
All sessions are conducted via HIPAA-compliant telehealth. As long as you are in Washington State during your session, we can work together — whether you're in a city, a suburb, a rural community, or anywhere in between.
Not just affirming —
deeply, genuinely inclusive
Washington has no shortage of therapists. Here's why LGBTQ+ and BIPOC Washingtonians keep choosing Rainbow Connection Counseling Collective.
Lived Identity, Not Just Training
Our therapist is LGBTQ+ and BIPOC identifying. You won't spend session time explaining what it's like to be queer, to navigate family dynamics as a person of color, or to feel the weight of minority stress. We already know — and we build from there.
No Code-Switching Required
Bring your slang, your community references, your cultural context. RCCC is a space where you can be your full, unedited self without worrying about making your therapist comfortable.
WA-Licensed & Washington-Fluent
Harry holds a Washington State LMHC license (#LH60684311) and understands the cultural, legal, and geographic landscape for LGBTQ+ and BIPOC Washingtonians — from Seattle to Spokane and everywhere in between.
Accessible Across Washington
100% telehealth with flexible scheduling means you can access affirming care whether you're in downtown Seattle or a rural Eastern Washington community. Geography should never be a barrier to getting the support you deserve.
Common questions from
Washington clients
Answers to the questions we hear most often from LGBTQ+ and BIPOC Washingtonians considering therapy.
Yes — all sessions are conducted via HIPAA-compliant telehealth, which means we can work with any client located in Washington State during their session. Whether you're in Seattle, Tacoma, Spokane, Bellevue, Olympia, Everett, Bellingham, or any other city or community in the state, geography is never a barrier to accessing care. The only requirement is that you are physically present in Washington at the time of your session.
Yes. We have clinicians who are Washington State Licensed Mental Health Counselors, issued by the Washington State Department of Health. They are fully authorized to provide telehealth therapy to clients located anywhere in Washington. We also have clinicians who are licensed in California, Oregon, and New York, making us one of a small number of practices licensed across all four states.
Yes, we accept Cigna only. During your free consultation, we'll discuss your specific insurance situation and help you understand your coverage. We also offer self-pay options and can provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement — reach out here or call 619.363.4674.
Many therapists in Washington identify as "LGBTQ+ affirming" — but affirmation isn't the same as deep understanding. At RCCC, our therapists are LGBTQ+ and BIPOC identifying, meaning clients get to have therapy with a therapist who walks the walk, not just talks the talk. We specialize in the intersection of LGBTQ+ identity, racial identity, and cultural background — a combination that remains genuinely rare, even in Seattle. We also offer sex therapy with an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist, which distinguishes us from most general LGBTQ+ therapists in Washington.
Yes. As a licensed Washington State clinician, Harry can provide clinical letters of support for gender-affirming hormone therapy, gender-affirming surgery, and legal name or gender marker changes. Washington has some of the most accessible legal processes for gender marker changes in the country, and we can provide guidance through those processes as well. We approach these letters from an affirming, informed consent framework — not a gatekeeping one. Learn more about gender-affirming letters here.
Absolutely. Washington State — and the Seattle-Bellevue metro in particular — is home to one of the largest and fastest-growing Asian American populations in the country. RCCC is deeply committed to serving AAPI clients. Harry brings both lived experience as an Asian American and specialized clinical training to address the unique mental health challenges Asian American Washingtonians face — including intergenerational trauma, racial trauma, model minority myth pressure, family dynamics shaped by cultural silence, and the intersection of AAPI identity with LGBTQ+ experience. We work with clients across diverse Asian communities including Chinese American, Filipino American, Vietnamese American, Korean American, Japanese American, South Asian American, and multiracial Asian clients throughout Washington.
The easiest way to start is to schedule a free 15-minute consultation. During that call, we'll hear a little about what brings you to therapy, answer any questions you have, and get a sense of whether we're the right fit — no commitment, no pressure. If you prefer, you can also reach us directly at 619.363.4674. We typically respond to all inquiries within one to two business days.
