About the Club

Built by clinicians, for clinicians.

The Queer Consultation Club is a private membership space for LGBTQ+ therapists who want more than continuing-education credits. Its public face is the Queer Clinician Resource Hub, a free, curated reference for the field.

Our mission

Make queer-affirming practice less mysterious — for every clinician.

Why we built this

Doing this work alone is harder than it needs to be.

Queer therapists have been making do with spaces that were never built for them. Peer consultation options are either expensive, generic, or actively unsafe for clinicians who are already navigating identity in the room with their clients.

We kept running into the same gap. The big therapist groups stopped feeling safe. One-on-one consultation is costly and hard to schedule. And the work that gets murky — affirming letters, gatekeeping, minority stress, documentation — is exactly the work no one trained us for.

So we built the room we wished we'd had: a moderated, queer-specific consultation space where you bring a real case and a real question, and get grounded, affirming input from peers who get it. No pile-ons. No corporate-rainbow. Just clinicians talking to clinicians.

Who's behind the Club

Two therapists, one shared frustration.

T
Taylor Garff M.Coun. · LCPC · CMHC · LPC · He/Him

A licensed therapist with over a decade of experience in anxiety, identity, and nervous-system work, practicing telehealth across five states. Taylor brings the digital-practice side — building tools and reference that travel.

A
Andi Bentley LCSW · Forge Therapy PLLC · He/They

A clinician grounded in affirming, relational practice and founder of Forge Therapy PLLC, with deep experience in gender-affirming care. Andi brings the consultation-room sensibility — the questions that move a hard case forward.

What we believe

How it feels matters as much as what it covers.

Calm, credible, human

The opposite of clinical-sterile or corporate-rainbow. We earn trust by being useful and precise, not loud.

Peer-to-peer, never down

Clinician to clinician. We name hard things plainly — suicide risk, gatekeeping, minority stress — without sensationalism.

Demystifying by default

Non-pathologizing, affirming, and honest about what's unfinished. If something is misunderstood, we make it less mysterious.
