Therapy for the LGBTQIA+ Community
You are not alone. As a gay therapist, I know from personal experience that being part of the LBGTQIA+ community can be complicated, especially in today’s world where our rights are at risk (and in many cases actively being taken away.) When you combine:
the uncertainty about our safety in the current political climate,
the pain many of us experienced from years of being shamed by peers and those who were supposed to take care of us,
and all the pressures of daily life,
it’s perfect recipe for anxiety, depression, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, and more. If you are grappling with:
past rejections and memories of being bullied for being queer,
low self-esteem or self-critical inner voices,
stress from coming out or gender transitions,
feeling isolated, lonely, and misunderstood,
then let’s talk.
LGBTQIA+-affirming therapy with a member of the queer community who gets it on a personal level can help you explore your identity, develop your self-worth, and put your past to rest so that you can focus on the kind of future you want to build. It’s a harsh world out there for LGBTQIA+ folks right now, but you don’t have to face it by yourself. I’d be honored to be a support for you in this struggle.
