LGBTQ+ Counseling

LGBTQ+ Counseling is a therapeutic approach delivered by a trained and qualified mental health professional who specializes in treating clients from the lesbian, bisexual, gay, and transgender community. LGBT+ counseling provides support for this client population, targeting the specific issues faced by this group such as self-esteem concerns, social stigma, discrimination, the process of or concerns with ‘coming out,’ depression, and anxiety, among numerous other concerns. There are many aspects of LGBT+ counseling that are similar to any other therapeutic approach; however, this counseling is delivered by treatment providers who uniquely focus on the needs of this population.
