No-cost, LGBTQ-friendly Mental Health Counseling in Napa County
We are pleased to bring the community free, LGBTQ-friendly mental health counseling with wonderful, experienced professionals. Our centers offer hour-long appointments every week. To obtain an appointment you are welcome to email bailie@lgbtqconnection.org, call the Napa main office (707-582-2646) ahead, or drop-by and sign up for the next available opening that works (often within one week). If you are in need, please let us know if our pre-scheduled times at our locations aren't possible as we can sometimes make arrangements for other times or other locations (like schools, coffee shops, etc.).
There are no complicated forms and no requirements, meaning ANYONE who comes to us for counseling gets easy, free and quick access.
Our counselors are happy to support people exploring topics including, but not limited to: exploring identity, coming out, family acceptance, relationships, dating, stress, civil rights, discrimination, worries, problems (at home, school, work, family, faith community, anywhere), gender, family, complaints, anything you want to know about queer (or straight) sex, self discovery, and much more.
This free counseling is available for Napa County residents thanks in part to a partnership with Napa County Health and Human Services Mental Health Division and funding from the State of California Department of Public Health’s Community Mental Health Equity Project.
