LGBTQIAS+ Counseling

What is LGBTQIA+ counseling?

Members of the LGBTQIAS+ community live with a heightened risk for mental health conditions and suicidal thoughts. In fact, lesbian, gay, and bisexual adults are nearly twice as likely as heterosexual adults to experience a mental health condition. Social stigmas and lives led in secrecy put pressure on LGBTQIAS+ individuals that frequently lead to mental health challenges. 

Any counseling with a licensed therapist can help members of the LGBTQIAS+ community lead healthy, balanced lives. But finding a therapist who specializes in LGBTQIAS+ counseling can make things easier. 

When you choose this type of therapist, you get someone who already understands the struggles of the LGBTQIAS+ community and has experience helping individuals overcome those struggles. You don’t have to spend time explaining what it was like to grow up knowing you were different. You and your therapist can instead focus on the specific issues that feel most pressing to you. 

What are the benefits of LGBTQIA+ counseling?

Far too many members of the LGBTQIA+ community feel isolated and alone. If you have thoughts of hurting yourself, don’t wait to contact In Touch Counseling & Wellness. Their team works with you to protect you from negative self-talk and the burden of social stigmas. They walk with you toward a healthier view of yourself and the world, creating the space you need to thrive. 

LGBTQIA+ counseling isn’t just for people experiencing a mental health crisis. It can help any individual who wants help processing the challenges of living in modern American society, better understanding themselves or their partner, or learning coping skills to help combat feelings of stress, anxiety, depression, and more. 

In short, if you’re a member of the LGBTQ community and you want support leading a healthier, more balanced life, don’t hesitate to schedule a counseling appointment at In Touch Counseling Services.
