Our Behavioral Health Services

There are many reasons why it may be difficult and uncomfortable to share sensitive and personal information with your mental health provider. At CAP, our Behavioral Health team strives to make these conversations and experiences more comfortable so that you feel accepted and heard.
Our providers, who specialize in LGBTQIA+ issues are dedicated to increasing affordable, accessible, and compassionate care for the our community. We recognize the unique and systemic challenges our community faces and how your sexual orientation and gender identity can impact your overall mental health and wellbeing. We offer queer, gender affirming, and trauma informed therapeutic approaches tailored to fit the diverse needs of individuals, groups, couples, and families either in-person or by telehealth.
When struggling with mental health, it can feel very isolating at times. With the addition of groups to our programming here at CAP, we wanted to create a healing space to come together and share our unique experiences, strengths, and hopes while gaining new skills that help promote long-term healing and recovery. You can learn about all of our current group programming in the “Our Behavioral Health Groups” below.
At CAP, we know that our most significant and intimate relationships are oftentimes the most impactful and important parts of our lives, both in positive and negative ways. We also know that relationships get hard and sometimes need outside help. We mindfully and positively attune to our clients diverse gender identities, sexualities, and relational styles (i.e. polyamory, monogamy, open relationships, relational anarchy, kink/BDSM etc.) and identify where there are areas of growth, and areas that we can build upon. We believe that every significant relationship, be it between partners or family members, are worthy of working on and having a space for a “reset” towards better intimacy and communication. We proudly offer this support in the form of couples, marital, and/or family counseling.
If you are planning surgery as part of your transition journey, our Behavioral Health team can help you access care by assessing your needs, providing educational information, and gender affirming letters of support.

Our Behavioral Health Groups

A 6-10 person QTBIPOC (Queer, Trans, Black, Indigenous, & People of Color) process and support group which will last 10 weeks. At the intersection of multiple identities, QTBIPOC individuals experience power and oppression, and experience negative impacts to their mental/physical/overall health. While this intersection of identities brings joy and strength, the complex discrimination within the current political climate can create burnout. This group will help folks process how we navigate life and healing at the intersection of multiple identities. This group will hold a flexible schedule of daily processing and psychoeducation provided by clinicans. In this space, we’ll cover topics around navigating systems, stress, activism/rest, joy, and community care with intersectionality at the fore front. Group members will learn skills centered around self-advocacy within medical/mental health settings, share coping strategies, and building community. By the end of our 10 weeks, folks will be able to increase their knowledge of intersectionality, stress/coping strategies, and self-care knowledge within activism.

Right To Good Faith Estimate

estimate of the bill for medical items and services.

• You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.

• Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
