About Bob Basque

Therapy for the 21st Century - specifically for the LGBTQ Community and beyond!

This is not your parent's therapy - where the therapist smiles and nods.

Life is not always easy if you are a member of the LGBTQ community.

We warmly welcome to our practice LGBTQ folks and others (yes, we love our allies and supporters too!) who need a knowledgeable counselor's support!

Everyone has a unique story to tell. And we listen deeply.

We provide counseling to people who are feeling overwhelmed by their stories. Together, we will begin to write a fresh chapter!
