LBGTQIA2S+

generic image

People who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, or another sexual or gender minority often face struggles that cisgender heterosexual people don’t. Our practice proudly provides LBGTQIA2S+ affirmative psychotherapy. The therapists and counselors at HELPS offer care that is sensitive to the unique struggles members of the LBGTQIA2S+ community face. We provide a safe space where you will receive affirming support, compassion, and empathy for both the current political catastrophe and the concerns you bring into therapy.

Whether you are seeking counseling for a topic specific to your gender identity or sexual orientation, or for an unrelated matter, it can help to find a therapist who has experience working with people of diverse genders and sexualities. We strive to support LBGTQIA2S+ people with a range of challenges including exploring:

  • Exploring your gender identity/expression
  • Exploring your sexual orientation/affectional orientation
  • Decisions about social, legal, medical, or surgical affirmation
  • Identifying and managing trauma, depression, anxiety, or gender dysphoria
  • Dealing with discrimination or bullying among peers or in your family, social, or religious community
  • Concerns about sexual health, STDs, or HIV status

An LBGTQIA2S+ counselor can also help you with concerns that aren’t specific to — but may be affected by — your gender or sexuality, including:

  • Relationship issues
  • Sexual problems
  • Parenting difficulties
  • Addiction

Who is LBGTQIA2S+ counseling for?

LBGTQIA2S+ counseling is for adults and adolescents (ages 13-17 who have the consent of a parent or guardian). You may also benefit from LBGTQIA2S+ counseling if your spouse, partner, family member, or other loved one is struggling with concerns related to their gender or sexuality —or if you are having difficulty understanding or accepting their gender or sexuality.
