Exploring Identity and Sexuality
Counseling for the LGBTQIA+ Community
We have all been raised in a society that makes certain assumptions about who we are as people and your personal journey can be made much more difficult when you struggle with issues that are different from those around you.
The impact of growing up and living in a family and a world that marginalizes LGBTQIA+ people is profound and often results in feelings of shame at a young age that can impact how we see ourselves as adults and how we cope with problems in our day to day life.
Even if you have never experienced outright rejection, having to evaluate each person and situation to determine how much of your true self you can bring forward causes a great deal of stress and depletes our energy levels, sometimes resulting in anxiety and depression.
You are NOT alone. We want to offer support for your journey, one step at a time.
Some examples of LGBTQIA+ concerns can include:
- identity confusion
- gender dysphoria
- navigating coming out to loved ones
- transitioning/beginning HRT
- discrimination
If any of the above rings true for you, we would be happy to partner with you on your quest of self discovery and help you to work through and resolve any difficulties you encounter along the way.
