ONLINE THERAPY FOR QUEER & TRANS MEN
A Space Where You Don’t Have to Perform, Prove, or Explain Who You Are.
Therapy for gay, bisexual, and transgender men across Washington State. A warm, affirming space to explore trauma, grief, relationships, identity, anxiety, and the parts of yourself you may have spent years holding back.
Therapy can be a place to stop performing, slow down, and begin understanding the parts of yourself you’ve had to protect, adapt, or hide.
I’m Nick Duran, LMHC, a queer, Mexican American therapist offering online therapy for gay, bisexual, and transgender men throughout Washington State.
My work is especially suited to adult individuals and couples, men, creatives, and thoughtful, introspective people who want more than simply managing symptoms.
You’ve Been Holding It Together for a Long Time.

WE CAN PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT YOUR BODY HAS LEARNED
Healing isn't always about finding the right words.
Through EMDR and somatic psychotherapy, we can pay attention to what your body has learned from your experiences and what it may still be holding.
With mindfulness, breath, gentle movement, expressive arts, and CBT, therapy becomes more than simply talking about what happened.
Therapy can offer something many queer and trans men have not always experienced: a space where you don't have to explain, perform, or defend who you are.
A Place to Feel Seen.
You Are Not the Problem.
Your identity isn't something that needs to be fixed. Together, we can explore what happened around you, what you learned to survive, and what you no longer need to carry.
You Are More Than Your Symptoms.
Therapy can be a place to understand the person underneath the anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, or patterns that brought you here.
You Are Worthy Just as You Are.
The goal isn't to become a perfected version of yourself. It's to feel increasingly able to inhabit your own life with greater self-trust, freedom, connection, and peace.
