LGBTQ, Transgender Family Support

The bond you share with your child can be strengthened by talking openly with them about their identity. It is important for caregivers to learn about what your child might be going through and experiencing so that you can give them your best support. Every child and every family’s journey is unique, and our staff at Riverscape Counseling will work with you to meet your child and family’s individual needs.
