Just like any other group, the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and questioning (LGBTQ) community faces mental health issues and unique challenges. However, LGBTQ individuals are almost 3 times more likely than others to experience a mental health condition, such as depression or anxiety. Additionally, more than half of individuals who identify as transgender experience depression or anxiety. The LGBTQ community is also at a higher risk for suicide. Young people are even more at risk, as they may experience a lack of support at home and fear, hatred or prejudice in school. If you are a member of the LGBTQ community and are facing mental health challenges, you don’t have to suffer in silence. Reach out to one of TherapyDen’s LGBTQ experts and get help today.

Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Sometimes, our desires and our preferences don’t always correspond with our self-image and the image that our friends and family have of us. Other times, we may feel misunderstood or shamed by those who mean the most to us. Sexuality is a very broad topic that requires gentle exploration and a curious, non-judgmental approach. The goal is be congruent with our sexual identity and to accept who we are as healthy, sexual beings.

Susan Abdel-Haq
Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT
I know how hard it can be to reach out for help and to find a Therapist with a similar lived experience. There is so much pressure that is placed to have it all together that it can feel really lonely and anxiety inducing. It is even harder when you try to navigate different environments and relationships only to be left feeling like you don't belong or even told you are “too sensitive”. Over the years, I have supported Clients with processing these issues with the utmost cultural sensitivity.

The LGBTQ+ community can often times feel isolated, ashamed, and yearning to feel like they belong and are understood. Ways to navigating LGBTQ+ issues include: Learning to be comfortable and confident with yourself, embracing one's queer identity, educating the LGBTQ+ individual's family members, processing the effects of coming out or transitioning on the individual and the family, exploring one's identity in regards to their gender and sexual orientation.

Depression, anxiety, and high levels of stress are symptoms of conveyer belt life and an attempt to upkeep societal norms. They are not necessarily a result of the choices we make. Change is inevitable and we can become conscious participants in our new reality. We can choose differently, but sometimes it takes the help of someone else to see how.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Are you experiencing anxiety, out-of-the-blue sadness, or irritability? Thinking big and taking on complex projects is the lifeblood and identity for many creative people. While others might look on from the outside and comment on how exciting it looks, these endeavors often lend themselves to problems like imposter syndrome, fear of failure, and existential questions. Ambitions are great, but don't let them take over your life. Peace and fulfillment can coexist for you.

I'm a part of the LGBT community. I'm bisexual and have struggled with others telling me that it's just a phase or that I'm actually straight because I'm with a guy. It can be difficult when others tell you who you are. You are enough! You are who you need to be. I've worked with LGBT clients for the past three years and love being a part of this beautiful community.
