Staff members at the UK Counseling Center strive to create a welcoming, inclusive environment for all UK students to promote exploration of any personal problems or concerns. Many members of our professional staff have interest and experience in serving the LGBTQ community, including transgender and gender nonbinary individuals.  Individual therapy and a support group for Transgender and Gender Nonconforming students is available.
