LGBTQ+ Counseling

This world was not build for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or queer (LGBTQ+) people and often LGBTQ+ folks are told that who they are is not okay. LGBTQ+ people often deal with discrimination and prejudice, both overt and subtle, and this can lead to other problems such as symptoms of depression or anxiety. Sometimes LGBTQ+ people have faced negative comments or actions from the people and systems that were supposed to support them like family members, religious institutions, medical settings, job situations, or our own government.

Counseling can offer a place to process these painful experiences, learn to combat discrimination and prejudice and learn to take care of, love and value yourself fully in a world that does not always affirm you.

SUPPORT FOR TRANSGENDER AND NON-BINARY PEOPLE:

One of the unfortunate parts of our current state of health care in Georgia is that health care providers are placed in a position as gatekeepers to health care for transgender and non-binary people. As part of that position, we are willing to meet with people to discuss your gender identity and write a letter to health care providers as a way to support obtaining gender confirming medications or surgery.
