LGBT Affirmative Therapy
What is LGBTQIA+ Affirmative Therapy?
LGBT Affirmative therapy is an approach to therapy that embraces a positive view of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ+) identities and relationships and addresses the negative influences that homophobia, transphobia, and heterosexism have on the lives of LGBTQ+ clients.
All sexual orientations and gender identities are a natural part of the human experience. The following are some of the struggles and challenges encountered by LGBTQ+ individuals:
- Exploring one's sexual orientation, gender expression, and/or gender identity
- Exploring one's gender training and gender socialization
- Exploring the coming out process and the experience of outing
- Challenges associated with biphobia, homophobia, transphobia, and heterosexism
- Integration of sexual orientation and/or gender identity with other identities such as race & ethnicity, religious/spiritual affiliations, political ideologies, and family of origin.
- Academic Issues
- Career & Work Issues
- Health (Emotional and Psychological, Physical)
- Relationship Issues (Family, Friendships, Intimate Romantic/Sexual)
If you need support with the exploration of identity formation, sexuality, and gender, please contact us at (860) 288-7041 to schedule an appointment.
