The mission of Prism Counseling and Support LLC is to help LGBTQ+ individuals fully realize and celebrate their authentic selves, and to help their families and loved ones learn how to best support and affirm them in this process.​
We offer individual counseling for LGBTQ+ youth and adults, family counseling for families of LGBTQ+ individuals and support groups for LGBTQ+ youth and adults and parents of LGBTQ+ youth. We also provide professional development training for school staff and professional organizations in order to educate them about the issues facing LGBTQ+ individuals and how to create safe working and learning environments for all.

Good news - Aetna paneling is COMPLETE!
​
We know you are anxious for an update! We are STILL in the process of paneling with the above insurance companies. Notice we have even added an additional company, Magellan! We have completed all of the steps that are required on our end, and we are just waiting for approval. If you are interested in counseling through us and have one of the insurance companies above, we strongly recommend contacting Devin to join our insurance waitlist. We will then reach out to you as soon as paneling is complete with your company. Thank you for your patience and we look forward to supporting you!
