Inclusive Therapy Group, a Wilton Manors, Florida-based mental health practice, announced the expansion of its telehealth services to over a dozen states, aiming to provide affirming and accessible care to diverse communities. Founded in 2018, the practice focuses on supporting LGBTQIA+, kink, polyamorous, ethically non-monogamous, and sexually open individuals, who have historically faced stigma in traditional mental health settings.
The expanded virtual services now reach clients in California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maine, Missouri, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia. By offering secure video sessions, Inclusive Therapy Group eliminates travel barriers and scheduling conflicts, making it easier for individuals to connect with therapists who understand their experiences. This is particularly significant for those in rural areas, with mobility challenges, or with demanding schedules.
Clinical Director Cub Larkin, a licensed therapist with credentials across multiple states, leads the practice. Larkin's leadership combines professional expertise with personal experience, ensuring a commitment to compassion, representation, and clinical excellence. Therapists are selected for their openness, cultural sensitivity, and dedication to ongoing education, utilizing evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, EMDR, Narrative Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy.
Starting therapy involves a complimentary consultation to discuss concerns and assess compatibility, followed by therapist matching and flexible scheduling through a secure online platform. Sessions are conducted via live video conferencing, offering the same effectiveness as in-person care while maintaining privacy and comfort.
This expansion matters because it addresses a critical gap in mental health care for marginalized groups. Access to affirming therapy can significantly improve mental health outcomes, reducing disparities faced by these communities. By broadening its reach, Inclusive Therapy Group is helping to normalize and legitimize the experiences of individuals who often feel misunderstood or judged in conventional therapeutic settings.
The move also reflects a growing recognition of the importance of culturally competent care in the mental health field. As telehealth continues to evolve, practices like Inclusive Therapy Group are setting a standard for how to deliver specialized, identity-affirming services to those who need them most.
