The mission of Prism Counseling and Support LLC is to help LGBTQ+ individuals fully realize and celebrate their authentic selves, and to help their families and loved ones learn how to best support and affirm them in this process.​

We offer individual counseling for LGBTQ+ youth and adults, family counseling for families of LGBTQ+ individuals and support groups for LGBTQ+ youth and adults and parents of LGBTQ+ youth. We also provide professional development training for school staff and professional organizations in order to educate them about the issues facing LGBTQ+ individuals and how to create safe working and learning environments for all.

We invite you to join us for a screening of Odd Fish at the Prism office!

​

This film follows the journey of a lifelong friendship that is tested when one of them comes out as a trans woman, revealing new perspectives on life and identity

​

This Icelandic film was celebrated at the Palm Springs film festival and is described as “giving the queerness space to exist in the joy and not just the sadness.”

​

There will be a short film titled “Pace” prior to Odd Fish.

A trans boxer wrestles with the decision to transition at the potential cost of their marriage. When another trans boxer enters the gym, the two find solace in training together while navigating their own challenging journeys.

​

Snacks and drinks will be provided. A 5 dollar donation is appreciated but not required.

Good news - Cigna paneling is COMPLETE!

​

We know you are anxious for an update! We are STILL in the process of paneling with the above insurance companies. Notice we have even added an additional company, Magellan! We have completed all of the steps that are required on our end, and we are just waiting for approval (it's been three months!). If you are interested in counseling through us and have one of the insurance companies above, we strongly recommend contacting Devin to join our insurance waitlist. We will then reach out to you as soon as paneling is complete with your company. Thank you for your patience and we look forward to supporting you!
