What Pride Means to Us
Pride is more than a celebration—it’s a statement. It’s a protest. It’s a homecoming. At Little Seed Counseling, Pride means:
Standing tall as a practice with queer affirming therapists
Supporting our LGBTQIA+ clients and clinicians beyond the month of June
Creating therapy spaces where you don’t have to explain your pronouns, your identity, or your relationships
Honoring Greensboro Pride and showing up for our community year-round
We embrace the vibrancy of Pride not just in June, but every day. This commitment is vital for fostering a community where everyone feels valued and understood.
Why the Follower Drop Happens
When we affirm our values publicly, some folks quietly opt out. And honestly? That’s okay.
We are not for everyone. We are for the people who:
Want to explore their gender or sexuality in a space that gets it
Are deconstructing religious trauma and learning to love who they are
Need a queer affirming therapist to help navigate anxiety, grief, or identity without judgment
Want to be a good ally
We may lose a few followers. But we gain something far more important: Trust. Safety. Belonging.
Understanding the Impact of Affirming Care
The decision to openly support the LGBTQIA+ community is not just about Pride month. It is about creating continuous and meaningful change. For many individuals, finding a therapist who embodies these values can feel revolutionary. This is why our mission is to provide a safe space where every voice matters.
Therapy is about connection and understanding. When clients see a pride flag or have conversations about queer identity, they experience affirming care. This can lead to higher visibility of their struggles and triumphs.
We aim to destigmatize therapy for the queer community. Affirming care can make a real difference in how individuals experience mental health support. A therapist who understands unique challenges can provide empowerment and liberation.
Celebrating Pride Is an Act of Care
If you’ve ever wondered whether therapy can be different—less clinical, more connected—this is your sign. Being part of Greensboro Pride or seeing a rainbow flag in our office isn’t a marketing move. It’s a message: You’re safe here. You’re wanted here. You’re not alone.
In a world that often feels isolating, we strive to beacon hope and encourage connection. And while we’re proud to celebrate during June, our commitment as therapists goes beyond one month. We advocate for affirming, trauma-informed care all year long.
Year-Round Commitment to the Community
Our dedication to the LGBTQIA+ community doesn't end when Pride month is over. We believe in continuous support and advocacy. Throughout the year, we participate in events, workshops, and resources that uplift queer voices.
By establishing long-term partnerships with local organizations, we help foster community resilience and solidarity. Our role as therapists extends beyond the office walls; it encompasses the larger tapestry of societal change.
