LGBTQ-Sensitive Counseling
Everyone needs and deserves a safe space where they can be themselves — and feel understood and accepted. Therapy is designed to be that place; however, it isn’t always. Therapists need to be aware of their own triggers and implicit biases — and sensitive to the concerns of the individuals before them.
We understand that people in the LGBTQ community experience discrimination and abuse and have higher rates of anxiety and depression than the straight, cis-gendered population. We strive to create the safety necessary for every person seeking therapy to feel comfortable and confident to express themselves freely and share the challenges, questions, and concerns they have without fear of being judged, misunderstood, or pathologized.
While every practitioner at The Resiliency Center is dedicated to providing LGBTQ-Sensitive Counseling, the therapists below have lived experience as a member of the LGBTQ community and/or specialized training in providing competent care.
