“You either walk inside your story and own it or you stand outside your story and hustle for your worthiness.”
Hi! I'm Becca Gerlach, therapist and owner of Being Human Group. I started Being Human Group to help real people, just like you, navigate life’s challenges. Our team is ready and able to help, and specializes in a variety of mental health issues, life transitions, and general concerns. I understand reaching out for help can be daunting. We want to make it easier.

Our Services

Therapy for LGBTQIA+ Individuals
Stigma-free, affirming, affordable therapy for LGBTQIA+ Individuals. As an LGBTQIA+ therapist, I am committed to helping clients of all genders, sexual identities and expressions feel not only safe but truly respected.

Therapy for Trauma, Depression, Anxiety or Life Stressors
We are a team of trauma informed therapists ready to listen, and help you feel more comfortable and safer in your skin. If you have underlying depression, anxiety, childhood trauma, stress from work, relationships (really anything else), we’re here to help.

Comprehensive Trauma Assessments
Being Human Group provides comprehensive trauma assessments for children, teens, and adults. The trauma assessment includes a written report that may assist in better understanding your child’s or your own needs. These reports can be provided to schools to assist in the IEP or 504 process.

Being Human Group provides assessments for gender-affirming surgical procedures as well as hormone replacement therapy and puberty blockers.
