Colors offer free LGBTQ+ Affirmative therapy services to queer youth up to age 25, family, or couples. The waitlist is low right now so their process is relatively straightforward. Potential clients should contact them via email or phone and they send you the intake form to fill out. Once a therapist is available, they will reach out to the client to conduct an intake appointment and hopefully begin therapy. Their services are unlimited and they are working both in person and remotely.
