Who is LGBTQ Counseling and Therapy for?
Members of the LGBTQ community often face specific mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, and minority stress resulting from discrimination or societal pressures. Our team of experienced LGBTQ therapists in North Carolina is experienced in addressing these challenges and providing the tools necessary for emotional resilience.
Every individual is unique, and our therapy is designed to reflect that. We use a variety of evidence-based modalities, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness techniques, and narrative therapy, to address the diverse needs of the LGBTQ community.

Types of LGBTQ Support
Gender Therapy
Our gender therapists provide guidance and support as individuals explore their gender identity and expression, helping them embrace their authentic selves. Transitioning can be a complex journey, both socially and medically. One study found that transgender individuals were about six times more likely to have had a mood or anxiety disorder healthcare visit compared to the general population. Our therapists offer assistance in navigating this process, including accessing resources, managing relationships, and addressing emotional challenges.
Affirmative Therapy
Affirmative therapy validates and celebrates LGBTQ identities, fostering self-acceptance and empowerment. We believe embracing your authentic self is a critical step toward LGBTQ mental well-being.
Navigating Coming Out and Transition
Coming out and transitioning are significant life events that can bring emotional challenges. Our therapy sessions provide the support and tools you need to navigate these milestones with confidence.
