LGBTQ+ Columbia, SC – LGBTQ+ Therapist & Counselors in Columbia, SC

The physical, mental, and emotional scars placed on the LGBTQ+ community by society have gone on long enough. Thriveworks Columbia stands with the LGBTQ+ community. We understand the injustices you may have faced and the obstacles you still face. Counseling for the LGBTQ+ community in Columbia offers a way to make life a little easier.

Topics Addressed in LGBTQ+ Counseling

Members of the LGBTQ+ community may struggle with various issues, from identity and mental health concerns to unrelated personal challenges. All problems are valid, and our counselors are here to support you.

Some common topics in LGBTQ+ counseling include:

  • Social anxiety
  • Self-harm
  • Depression

  • Family concerns
  • Self-esteem issues

You can have a happy, fulfilling life, chase your dreams, and love who you love with pride. Thriveworks Columbia LGBTQ+ counselors are here to walk beside you and provide the knowledge and tools you need to succeed.

What Does LGBTQ+ Counseling Look Like?

Our counselors aim to help you work through past and present pains and give you the tools to pursue your future dreams. No one is ever completely sure about who they are, and that’s okay. Who you love is part of who you are and should be part of your counseling experience. LGBTQ+ counseling provides a safe place for you to truly be yourself while facing the challenges ahead.

In a counseling session, we might discuss:

  • Your passions and goals
  • Finding and utilizing your strengths
  • Building confidence
  • Defining and achieving your goals
  • Coming out to friends and family
  • Overcoming social barriers in your career
  • Transitioning to a new home or phase of life

You deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. LGBTQ+ counseling in Columbia, SC, is a place to heal, grow, and celebrate who you are. Call us today at (803) 573-9453.

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.
