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.

Has your life become messy and unmanageable? Lately, are you overwhelmed and not feeling quite like yourself? Do your relationships feel stressful and do you feel like no one really understands where you are coming from? Are you feeling hopeless and having trouble getting through your day? Maybe anxiety is keeping you from sleeping well and is causing unwanted thoughts that won't slow down. Experiencing any of these symptoms can keep us from enjoying life. I know because I have been there.

My clients come to me feeling stuck, overwhelmed or lost. Often, they feel like something is wrong with them because they struggle so much to figure out who they are and how to function and feel like they belong in the world and within their relationships. They struggle with anxiety, people-pleasing, and low self-esteem. Many also suffer from religious trauma/spiritual wounds that complicate their sense of self and trust in the world.

Being human is often tough. Sometimes we lose our way and can feel stuck and overwhelmed. Sometimes we would like to change parts of our lives or ourselves but don’t know how. Therapy can be an empowering way to promote healing, growth, and wellness. Often, we initially seek treatment to address a specific concern and then begin to uncover other areas of our lives in which we want to make meaningful change. My goal is for this process to feel supportive, affirming, and appropriately challenging.

You're ready to change. You're ready to put in the time and effort to change. You're ready for a no nonsense, practical, straightforward approach to what's troubling you. You want a therapist who has a flexible schedule and will work with you in person, online, by phone, text and email for as long or short a time as you need. You want a therapist who walks the talk and has experienced his own profound personal growth. You want a therapist who is kind, compassionate and has heard it all.
