Problem
Many LGBTQ+ adults experience identity-based trauma and face barriers to accessing affirming mental health care, including lack of providers who understand their specific experiences and insurance coverage that is often unaffordable or unavailable.
Solution
Allswell delivers virtual, LGBTQ+‑affirming therapy that is covered by Medicaid and major commercial insurers in Maryland, DC, and Virginia. Clients are matched with licensed therapists who specialize in trauma, PTSD, gender identity, kink, polyamory, and other identity‑related concerns. The platform combines one‑on‑one video sessions with peer‑support groups, allowing users to build community while receiving individualized treatment. Evidence‑based modalities such as EMDR, CBT, DBT, IFS, and somatic work are applied within an identity‑affirming framework. A free 15‑minute consult call helps determine insurance eligibility, matches clients to appropriate therapists, and schedules the first session. All sessions are conducted via a secure, HIPAA‑compliant telehealth platform with end‑to‑end encryption and SOC 2 compliance.
