My Rates for Private Pay
A Therapist Like Me supports racial equity and closing the wage gap for therapists of color and minority therapists. We support our minority-identified therapists, the rates, and boundaries they have set for their practice. A Therapist Like Me supports financial applications up to $100 per session (based on need) towards your therapist’s rate, for up to 12-sessions, every 6-months (then you can reapply).
If you are a potential client unable to afford Luce’s rate in the event you are approved for financial assistance, Luce is available to speak to you about the affordability of their/his services. Please contact them/him.

About Me
Luce Beagle (he/him, they/them) is a Licensed Professional Counselor. Luce’s practice focuses on building personal resiliency, strengths and somatic awareness. Luce has served the LGBTQIA community since 2013 offering individual sessions and various support groups for trans and non-binary people. He/they offer support with gender journeys, post-trauma growth, managing feelings of anxiety or depression, addiction and recovery issues and life transitions. An average of 95% of clients in his/their practice identify as non-binary, agender, genderfluid, trans and/or queer, asexual, demi-sexual, et al.
Luce personally believes that every gender journey is different and there is no “one- way to be trans* or non-binary” and that medical interventions are not the goal of everyone seeking support. He hopes to create safer space and to listen for client’s inner wisdom while accompanying people wherever they are on their life’s journey. Luce likes to remind people of their own innate superpowers!
Luce has training in assessing and supporting clients who are pursuing surgery and has provided letters of support for medically necessary gender congruency surgeries. He/they have facilitated non-binary and trans trainings for professionals in the fields of mental health and medicine.
