Queer LifeSpace was featured live on KTVU Fox 2 News on Tuesday, June 2, in a segment honoring the organization’s 15th anniversary and its work expanding access to affordable, queer-affirming therapy in the Bay Area. Executive Director Ryan MacCarrigan spoke with veteran KTVU morning anchor Pam Cook about the growing need for accessible LGBTQIA+ mental health services, the barriers many queer and trans people face when seeking affirming care, and Queer LifeSpace’s mission to serve economically vulnerable clients while training the next generation of queer-affirming clinicians.
