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.

My clients are people whose bodies have stories needing to be told: folks with complex trauma, experiences of sexual violence, and chronic illnesses. I support people during major events throughout the reproductive lifespan: miscarriage/stillbirth, infertility, abortion, difficult pregnancies, traumatic birth, postpartum, and more. I proudly welcome folks of all identities, especially members of the LGBTQIA+, poly, kink, BIPOC, disability, and health at every size communities.
