Transformative Growth Counseling (TGC) is the largest LGBTQ+ owned and employed mental health (501c3) nonprofit community health agency. We began in Illinois in 2016, and have recently started expanding with affiliate offices across the United States
(including Jacksonville), in locations where LGBTQ+ and trauma services needs are high
but primarily going unmet. We specialize in providing attachment based individual, family, and couples counseling to LGBTQ+, BIPOC, traumatized, historically oppressed, and other at-risk populations. We serve clients from ages 3 and up and have staff specifically trained in working
with children, adolescents, adults, seniors, and LGBTQ+ (including trans-identified/ non-binary) folks. We have a team of qualified supervisors and offer clinical student
internship placements as well as clinical supervision for licensure. All staff and students are trained in trauma therapy as a requirement of the agency.
Special Placement Information:
