Meet our new therapist, Keegan Campbell, LMHC-LP!

“Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, and finding the right therapist is an important part of the process. I strive to create a warm, affirming, and collaborative space where anyone can feel safe showing up exactly as they are, without judgment and without having to educate their therapist about their lived experience. I work with clients navigating identity exploration, relationships, life transitions, anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, and the many challenges that can arise while building a life that feels authentic and meaningful.

My approach is grounded in person-centered and relational therapy, with the belief that healing happens through genuine human connection. I integrate mindfulness practices and cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients develop greater self-awareness, strengthen coping skills, and build a more compassionate relationship with themselves. Together, we explore both present-day challenges and the deeper patterns that may be influencing how you experience yourself, your relationships, and the world around you.

My path to becoming a therapist was shaped by my own experience with the transformative power of therapy. As a cisgender gay man, I understand the importance of having spaces where you can be fully seen, understood, and affirmed. While every person’s journey is unique, my lived experience informs my commitment to providing culturally responsive and LGBTQIA+-affirming care. Whether you are seeking support, insight, or a space to better understand yourself, I am committed to meeting you where you are and helping you move toward a life that feels more authentic, connected, and fulfilling.”

In addition to the above statistics, LGBTQ+ men face compounded intersectional mental health struggles. We see you. 🖤

And, men are typically more likely to turn to alcohol and drugs to cope, rather than seeking therapeutic support. ❤️‍🩹

There is no shame in asking for help.

If you or a man in your life is struggling, reach out to us. And remember — the 988 su*c*de and crisis lifeline is available 24/7 by text or call if immediate support is needed.

Happy Mental Health Awareness month!🥳

🧠 Did you know our founder, Dr. Charles Silverstein, played a key role in removing homosexuality from the APA’s list of mental health disorders? 🚮🚫

We’ve truly been out here making mental health history — specifically for q***r folks — for DECADES.

Our work continues alongside you. Join our journey by sharing our resources with those in need, donating, and reaching out for support for yourself.

We’re so excited to share some upcoming updates to our space.

As part of a lease renewal, the IHI office will be undergoing renovations to create an improved and refreshed environment for our clients and clinicians.

What to expect…
* April 28 – July 1: All in-person sessions will temporarily transition to virtual appointments while construction is underway. 
* If you already meet with your clinician virtually, no changes are needed—your sessions will continue as usual!
* If you typically meet in-person, your clinician will connect with you to ensure a smooth transition to virtual sessions during this time.

*What’s new?*
When renovations are complete, we’ll welcome you back to a newly updated space! While our address will remain the same, we will be consolidating into Suite 802 only, featuring 11 newly refreshed therapy rooms designed to enhance your experience.

Beginning July 1, in-person sessions will resume, and, if you’re a client with us already, your clinician will provide details about your new room assignment.

We appreciate your flexibility during this temporary transition and look forward to welcoming you into our newly renovated space this summer!

If you have questions, you can email us at [email protected].

💥 AFFIRMATIVE THERAPY vs. CONVERSION THERAPY 🥊

The evidence speaks for itself.

* There is no credible evidence that conversion therapy can change sexual orientation or gender identity.
* Exposure to conversion therapy is statistically associated with poor mental health outcomes, including higher rates of depression, anxiety, self harm, and suicidal ideation.
* Major organizations — including the American Psychological Association (APA), American Medical Association (AMA), and the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry — condemn the practice of conversion therapy as unethical and harmful.

And…
* Research from the HRC indicated that providing affirmative therapy leads to lower health care costs and higher quality adjusted life years.
* Affirmative therapy approaches use evidence-based methods, such as CBT, to help clients manage minority stress.
* Affirmative therapy is also associated with positive mental health outcomes for LGBTQ+ folx — particularly youth.

There is no argument here. LGBTQ+-affirming therapy is essential and lifesaving. Conversion therapy is medical malpractice.
