LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapy
Our psychologists and dietitians are dedicated to providing a safe, accepting, and affirming environment for those who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, non-binary, queer, questioning, intersex, or asexual.
The impact of stigma and discrimination in individuals identifying as LGBTQ+ can result in a lack of access to services, lack of social support, family rejection, isolation, poverty, unemployment, bullying, teasing, hate crimes and being a victim of violence.
Research demonstrates that this stigma can impact mental health. LGBTQ+ individuals are at higher risk for experiencing mental health conditions such as anxiety disorders, eating disorders, substance misuse, suicidal ideation, and depression. When there are additional marginalized intersections between sexuality, gender, and race/ethnicity, mental health consequences are often more severe.
Given their past work experiences and specialized training, many of our therapists are particularly suited for working with LGBTQ+ individuals. Our therapists have a history of helping LGBTQ+ clients with the following:
