“Research suggests that LGBTQ+ individuals face health disparities linked to societal stigma, discrimination, and denial of their civil and human rights. Discrimination against LGBTQ+ persons has been associated with high rates of psychiatric disorders, substance abuse, and suicide.”
If you consider yourself part of the LGBTQIA+ community or if very important people in your life are part of the community, an LGBTQ-affirming therapist could be hugely important to a comfortable, successful experience with therapy, even if you aren’t seeking therapy to deal with issues directly related to your sexuality or gender.
The understanding behind LGBTQIA+ Affirmative Therapy is that the therapist will be present with the client and provide a space that feels welcoming and comfortable. Affirmative Therapy is defined as the acknowledgment and acceptance of the person’s sexual orientation and identity, working toward developing a better sense of self, building authenticity, and strengthening one’s voice.
We pride ourselves in offering LGBTQIA+ individuals and couples a safe space to discuss issues they may be facing through Affirmative Therapy. We believe that everyone should be heard, and each person’s experience is valid. Our therapists are receptive to the issues the community may be facing and are dedicated to helping both individuals and couples explore themselves and manage concerns they may have.
