What Does LGBTQ Competent Therapy Look Like?

LGBTQ competent therapy is first and foremost individualized. Every person is unique with their own experiences, challenges, and opportunities.

Each professional at Thriveworks Chesapeake works hard to build trust with their clients. As a therapist and client grow to trust each other, people are often able to go deeper and deeper into their story. That means healing can go deeper and deeper as well. In order to establish that trust, therapists may ask questions like…

How did you decide to start therapy?
How is your living situation? Is it safe?
Is there were one thing you could change about your life, what would it be?
What are some of the exciting things happening in your life?
What do you want to be doing in a year? Five years? Ten? More?

When trust is established and individualized care is offered, topics often arise that are unique to those in the LGBTQ community. The therapists at Thriveworks Chesapeake are committed to handling these topics with the care they deserve. A few examples include…

Coming out issues
Dealing with discrimination and non-acceptance
Family concerns
Past trauma and abuse
Healthy communication
Self-esteem issues
Depression
Transcending gender roles
Gender and sexual identity
Dating and other relationships
Eating disorders
Addiction, Anxiety and stress
