History
Pride Counseling started out as Jerry Buie MSW, LCSW and as a part time practice so I could do something different as a professional. Very quickly my clientele base grew and realized that I could go full time. I formally organized into Pride Counseling, Inc and had hired several therapist as contractors to provide a broader scope of services.
Specialties
Pride Counseling is dedicated to providing Gay/Lesbian/Bi Sexual and Transgender (LGBT) client's quality counseling services in a LGBT friendly environment. We provide Mental Health Services that are consistent with the skills of our therapist. Many LGBT people, either in the closet or out, approach mental health counseling with some trepidation. Stereotypes about homosexuality creep into a therapist's office and can impact the process of change for the client. LGBT people should not have to wonder about their therapist's capacity to understand their lives and culture. Pride Counseling offers a safe, discrete and relevant alternative, an unprecedented holistic healing center that eliminates the potential therapist/client barrier of differing sexual orientation. We serve all people regardless of sexual orientation.
