Starting LGBTQIA+ counseling

Need more help deciding?

Having the space to discuss the issues in your life can help you overcome your challenges. Our mental health professionals are informed of the problems of people who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, or individuals of any gender identity.

Whether you’re struggling with mental health issues, your sexual orientation, or just want someone to talk to, we think that support should be available to all. Call our office today at Thriveworks Counseling in Annapolis, MD to set up your first appointment with a mental health professional. One of our team members can help you schedule your first session.

When Can a Counselor or Therapist Help?

There are many challenges that are unique to the LGBTQ+ community, like managing a gender transition or truly understanding your sexual identity. Working with a counselor or therapist that understands LGBTQ+ issues can help you overcome the problems you’re facing in life.

People visit a counselor or therapist for a wide variety of reasons. Some of the things our LGBTQ+ clients discuss during their sessions include:

  • Gender identity
  • Sexual orientation
  • Deciding how or when to come out
  • Family conflicts
  • Managing anger
  • Improving communication skills
  • Transcending gender roles
  • Anxiety or depression
  • Self-esteem and self-acceptance
  • Eating disorders
  • Substance abuse

Maybe you’re dealing with something else entirely — that’s ok. Our counselors and therapists have the skills and knowledge to help people with a wide variety of mental health issues and LBGTQ+ issues.

LGBTQ+ Counseling: What To Expect

Counseling can help everyone take the time to discuss their lives and learn how to move forward. However, many members of the LGBTQ+ community have unique needs that deserve to be handled in a more informed, compassionate way.

Our mental health professionals create a personalized experience for each of their clients. Your provider will get to know you, your situation, and your goals before creating an individualized treatment plan that makes sense for you. The things you’ll learn from your sessions will be unique to you and your needs.

For example, someone who is questioning their sexuality might want to discuss their past and how to move forward. Transgender individuals might want to discuss how they present themselves to the world and manage a gender transition. Someone dealing with strained family relationships might want to discuss how to solve problems and improve their family ties. Working with a compassionate LGBTQ+ therapist or counselor can provide support for the problems you’re facing and help you live your best life. Contact us today to get started.

Thriveworks helped me realize that I do believe people can change. I’m not the person I was three months ago, broken and fearful. I’m healthy and happy and for the first time being kind to myself. Thank you for giving me my life back.
