LGBTQ+ Care

Understanding LGBTQ+ Mental Health

People in the LGBTQ+ community often face unique emotional and social challenges. These might include:

• Feeling different or isolated from a young age

• Struggling with shame, internalized stigma, or fear of rejection

• Navigating family, cultural, or religious pressures

• Coping with discrimination, bullying, or trauma

• Experiencing difficulty in relationships or intimacy due to past wounds

• Living with anxiety, depression, or identity confusion

• Needing space to explore gender, sexuality, and expression

Therapy is not about “fixing” you — it’s about helping you feel more connected, confident, and at peace with who you are.

How Therapy Can Help

LGBTQ+ affirming therapy provides a space to be fully seen and supported. Whether you’re dealing with a specific issue or simply want a safe place to grow, our approach centers on curiosity, compassion, and respect.

Our Approach:

Together, we will explore how your early experiences and relationships shape your current sense of identity, safety, and connection. Using relational and psychodynamic therapy, we work through the impact of rejection, shame, or invisibility, while creating a safe and affirming space for healing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps you identify and challenge unhelpful beliefs like “I’m too much” or “I have to hide who I am,” offering practical tools for empowerment. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) supports you in managing emotions, building self-compassion, and navigating relationships with greater stability and authenticity.

Gender-Affirming and Identity Exploration Support

We welcome clients who are questioning, transitioning, or exploring aspects of their gender and sexual identity. Therapy can be a space to reflect, process, and make empowered decisions — without pressure or judgment. We can also provide support with social or medical transitions, family conversations, and navigating systems that aren’t always affirming.
