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.

Individuals seek therapy and counseling for varied reasons: personal growth, relationship problems, life transitions, traumatic experiences, environmental stressors and challenges, depression, anxiety, and more. Individuals also seek diverse outcomes. Through getting to know the individual client, our therapists help clients find solutions to the challenges that bring them to therapy. We tailor our psychotherapy approach to each individual, their specific needs, and their desire outcome.

Throughout my career, I have always viewed my clients as pretty amazing and courageous individuals. Suffering is an inevitable part of life. Yet, each individual's suffering is unique. A starting point for change is gaining an understanding of the various factors that have led to the difficulties in life. As the suffering starts to make more sense, then we are able to collaboratively find options for making changes that lead to a more meaningful and satisfying life.
