We understand that being a member of the LGBTQ+ community comes with unique challenges and we are here to support you through every step of your journey.
Do you feel like you have to hide certain parts of yourself because you are concerned that others in your life will not accept these things? Are you struggling to be your authentic self?
Are you unsure about some aspects of your own sexuality and/or gender? Or perhaps you’re feeling overwhelmed and afraid as a parent of a child expressing ideas that you did not expect about their gender or sexuality?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, we are here to help.
All people should be treated equally, regardless of who they are or who they love.
If you are or think you may be a member of the LGBTQ+ community, you have most likely had to navigate through some of these challenges. You may be finding it difficult to come to terms with your sexual identity, Or maybe you have accepted these parts of yourself, but those around you are not supportive or accepting. Maybe you are struggling with self-worth or depression. You may feel lonely, isolated, unworthy, and exhausted carrying such a heavy burden. Coping with these issues as well as coming out to family and friends, sorting through a sense of self while dealing with social expectations, and other pressures may lead to depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and other mental health concerns.
Our LGBTQ+ specialized therapy creates a safe and affirming space where you can explore difficult and complicated feelings.
Don’t change so people will like you.
Be yourself and the right people will love the real you.
We understand that sexuality and gender are unique to each individual and our experienced therapists will work with you to identify and validate your identity. We will help you set goals such as “coming out” to family and friends, finding supportive peer groups, and learning how to assert the use of your pronouns.
