LGBTQIA+

Many times, those who identify as LGBTQIA+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning, intersex, asexual, and others) face a range of challenges, including being subject to hate crimes, sexual orientation discrimination, and/or rejection from loved ones. The Human Rights Campaign asserts that LGBTQIA+ youth are more likely to face bullying and interpersonal violence, and have a 120% higher risk of homelessness than those who identify as heterosexual. Whether you have challenges related to sexual orientation, gender identity, or expression in the workplace, at school, or within families or communities, therapy can help you navigate the obstacles.

Find Qualified Online Therapists Attuned To The Needs Of LGBTQIA+ Individuals And Couples.

LGBTQIA+ Therapy is an important part of the mental health process for many members of the LGBTQIA+ community.

Recognizing the unique challenges faced by LGBTQIA+ individuals, a growing number of licensed therapists are now providing specialized online and in-person therapy that addresses their particular needs.

Whether you are struggling with coming out, identity issues, family acceptance and support, or simply grappling with things like anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and relationship issues, finding a quality therapist who understands and respects your unique needs and experiences can be life-changing.

LGBTQIA+ Counseling

Every teenager is different and not all types of counseling will resonate with each teen. Working with mental health clinicians that have received training and are familiar with the needs of LGBTQIA+ members are better equipped to provide ample, tailored support. It is common practice for clinicians to integrate LGBTQIA+ affirmative therapy into any treatment plan when working with a young person that identifies as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community. LGBTQIA+ affirmative therapy is a form of psychotherapy used to “validate and advocate for the needs of sexual and gender minority clients.” It can help empower a teen to learn to effectively navigate the unique challenges associated with being a member of the LGBTQIA+ community.
