Our Story
Transcendence Counseling was born in 2021, during a time of global uncertainty and growing political tension. As the world grappled with the COVID-19 pandemic, gender diverse individuals faced an additional crisis—one of visibility, safety, and rights. With an alarming rise in legislation and rhetoric aimed at undermining the civil rights and dignity of transgender and gender expansive people, the need for affirming mental health support became more urgent than ever.
​
Our founder, a dedicated mental health professional and advocate, saw the deep emotional toll this climate was taking on the LGBTQ+ community—especially those navigating transitions, coming out, or simply existing as their authentic selves in a world that often resists them. In response, Transcendence Counseling was created as more than a therapy practice; it became a refuge.
​
From its inception, the mission was clear: to offer a healing space where gender diverse individuals could feel safe, validated, and empowered. What began as a small, virtual practice has grown into a trusted source of support for clients across Massachusetts and Rhode Island—centering queer and trans joy, resilience, and the right to thrive.
