Especially for those within the LGBTQ+ community, knowing one's identity can be an emotional, freeing, and occasionally difficult trip.

Working with an LGBTQ+ affirming therapist provides a safe, inclusive environment to process ideas, negotiate uncertainty, and finally reach self-acceptance during such vulnerable stages.
