Almost every time we participate in community events, someone stops by our table and asks:
"What flag is that?"
"What's the difference between bis*xual and pans*xual?"
"I've never seen that one before!"

We love those conversations 🌈💜

Pride flags help people find community, express identity, and feel seen.

Want a free pride flag? We've got you.
Questioning your identity and not sure where to start? We've got you there, too.

Stop by our booth at Out! Raleigh Pride at Night (18+) on June 26th to grab some free goodies, chat with our team, and learn about LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy and resources.

It is natural for your s*xuality to shift as your body goes through pregnancy-related changes. But just because there’s a change in your l!bido and excitability doesn’t mean that your s*xuality is gone, it has simply transformed! ✨

In the newest blog post, written by our clinical intern Lupe Muñoz, we address some of the most common questions about s*xuality during pregnancy.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month!

Stress, anxiety, trauma, shame, depression, body image concerns, relationship conflict, and past experiences can all impact s*xuality. At the same time, experiences involving intimacy, connection, boundaries, identity, pressure, consent, or disconnection can also affect mental health.

This isn’t about “good s*x fixing mental health.”
And it isn’t about blaming mental health for s*xual struggles.

It’s about recognizing that we are whole humans and all of those parts affect each other. If either mental health or s*xuality feels complicated right now, our specialized therapists are ready to help. Reach out today for a free consultation call 💙

These responses can show up in relationships in ways we don’t always recognize: shutting down during conflict, people-pleasing, becoming defensive, avoiding vulnerability, or struggling to communicate needs.

To learn more about navigating relationships and setting boundaries after trauma, read our full blog on the website or reach out to connect with one of our therapists!

If you've experienced s*xual trauma, setting boundaries can feel confusing, overwhelming, or even unsafe at times. We created a step-by-step guide that explores how trauma impacts your ability to recognize and express limits, and offers clear steps to help you create boundaries that support your healing.

It also includes a printable worksheet to make the boundary-setting process feel more personalized and structured.

You deserve to feel safe, supported, and in control of your own boundaries. 🤍
