LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapy | Therapy & Medication Management Across Michigan

Has your child or teen recently expressed confusion about their sexual orientation or gender identity?  

Maybe you have recently been experiencing confusion about your own gender identity or sexual orientation. 

Does it feel like you have nobody to talk to regarding these feelings? 

Discovering Your Identity: Support for LGBTQ+ Individuals and Families 

Navigating identity can be deeply personal—and sometimes deeply challenging. At Giesken Counseling Services, we recognize the unique stressors LGBTQ+ individuals and families may face, including discrimination, coming out, family rejection, and internalized stigma. Our affirming therapy provides a safe, nonjudgmental space to process these experiences and build resilience.

Whether you're seeking LGBTQ+ therapy in Flint, gender-affirming counseling in Grand Blanc, or online support across Michigan, our team is here to walk beside you.

Inclusive Care for All

We welcome individuals across the LGBTQIA+ spectrum, including transgender, nonbinary, bisexual, pansexual, queer, and questioning clients. Our therapists are committed to ongoing education and cultural humility, so you can trust that your story will be met with respect and understanding.

What We Support

Our LGBTQ+ affirming therapists are trained to support a wide range of concerns, including:

  • Coming out and identity exploration

  • Gender dysphoria and transition support

  • Family and relationship dynamics

  • Minority stress and trauma recovery

  • Anxiety, depression, and self-esteem

  • Support for LGBTQ+ youth and parents

We also offer psychiatric medication management when needed, ensuring integrated care that respects your identity and goals.

"All three of my children, including one of their significant others, attend Giesken Counseling, and I can't thank Giesken enough! The help that all of them have received over the years has made a tremendously beneficial impact on the quality of their lives. As a family, we ALL highly recommend Giesken Counseling!"

“Our school partnered with Giesken this year to run a grief group. They have been excellent to work with - very supportive and willing to come and lead the group right away! I had a really great experience working with David Turner who facilitated the group. He was always prompt, willing to debrief and implement changes based on students' feedback. He was also flexible to come to our buildings for the group sessions at different times to accommodate students' schedules. We received such great feedback from students who found comfort & support from having this type of group with other students during school hours. We can't thank David and Giesken Counseling enough!”

"Our grandson has been visiting one of the wonderful counselors at GCS for the last three months, and we couldn’t be happier! It’s heartwarming to see his smile coming back, and he’s enjoying more happy days. Plus, he’s doing a great job managing his emotions. We’re so thankful our daughter discovered GCS for him!"

“A loved one saw David. David's patient manner and demeanor were a perfect match. Patient /counselor worked together to develop goals, evaluating progress and roadblocks during sessions. David ensured my loved one felt their treatment plan was their own, ensuring autonomy and respect, building confidence, and providing helpful counsel to specific challenges.”

It's a safe and non-judgmental environment where you will feel comfortable opening up about your needs, concerns, and struggles."

“I have been seeing Jessica P. at Giesken Counseling for the better part of a year now, and I cannot recommend her enough! She is wonderful and has helped me immensely as I navigate all the things that come after welcoming a new baby. The office staff are also always friendly as well, and it was very easy to try another counselor (Jessica) when I first started with Giesken after the first person I saw was not a good fit.”

I love Laurie and Julia and all the office staff are so sweet! 10/10 recommend!

I had the opportunity to refer someone to the GCS Rochester Hills location - the process was smooth for both myself and the client. Cannot recommend this agency enough - wish there were more stars!

NP Katie really listens to me and asks questions to fully understand my needs and makes adjustments as applicable. I feel comfortable and heard here.
