The Center provides non-judgmental, affirming support for families navigating a child’s coming out process and developing identity. Therapy is available for families with children ages 5 and up who are perceived to be or identify as LGBTQ+, gender nonconforming, queer, or questioning. Family therapy is intended specifically for families who are seeking support around their child’s sexual orientation and/or gender identity development.

She has spent time in various capacities, predominantly working with youth and young adults in community-based recreational and educational programs, schools, and community health centers and clinics. Bo-Andrea aims to create spaces and programs where young people and their families are supported, LGBTQ+ lives are protected, queer and trans futures are affirmed, and communities of all identities and backgrounds have equitable access to care, safety, and opportunity.
Generation Q, a part of Queens Community House, is an after-school (2:30–7:00 p.m. Mon–Thurs) drop-in center for 13 to 21-year-old LGBTQIA+ and allied young people. Located in Forest Hills, Queens, Generation Q provides a safe and supportive space to meet and make new friends and community members, have time to complete academic and extracurricular assignments and projects, receive supportive 1:1 and group counseling with social work interns, and engage in art, self-expression, leisure time, video games and board games, and receive assistance and referrals to internship, volunteer, and post-secondary success opportunities.
