Starting LGBTQIA+ counseling

Need more help deciding?

Thankfully, there’s an option for anyone in the LGBTQ+ community who wants to reach out for support – mental health counseling. Our therapists, counselors, and psychiatrists can help LGBTQ+ clients face their issues. Having someone on your side who understands what you’re going through can make all of the difference.

Do you want to work with a mental health professional? If so, consider calling our office at Thriveworks Counseling in Cincinnati, OH. One of our team members will help you set up a session that works for you.

Is LGBTQ+ Counseling Right for Me?

Counseling or therapy can help you work through your issues and improve your quality of life. If there’s anything that’s interfering with your happiness or preventing you from achieving your goals, working with a mental health professional might be able to help. Our therapists and counselors understand the issues and topics associated with people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, or any gender identity.

Counselors and therapists can help you work through LGBTQ+ related issues or mental health issues. Some common topics discussed in LGBTQ+ counseling include:

  • Social anxiety
  • Depression
  • Self-harm
  • Substance abuse
  • Eating disorders
  • Deciding when or how to come out
  • Gender identity
  • Sexual orientation
  • Managing gender transitions
  • Dating challenges
  • Abuse

How Does LGBTQ+ Counseling Work?

Everyone deserves to feel heard, accepted, and safe. Counseling can help people in the LGBTQ+ community deal with their issues. Therapists and counselors can help you by creating a safe, comfortable space to discuss what’s going on in your life without fear of adversity or judgment. Our mental health professionals work with their clients to discuss gender identity, anxiety, depression, sexual orientation, or whatever is happening in your life.

There are many unique issues faced by gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender individuals. Your first session will involve your provider getting to know you and your problems. Then, they’ll use the information you provide to create a personalized treatment plan that will be implemented over the following weeks.

Being a person who doesn’t like to share their dirt with strangers , I’m finding it very easy to talk with my counselor freely about the issues that I’m dealing with. I highly recommend their services.

Prior to coming to Thriveworks I only had counselors through my universities. Entering the real world of counseling was stressful, but Thriveworks made it easy! At Thriveworks I have found it easiest find a counselor with availability, ease of payment so that it doesn't feel transactional, and a good fit. My counselor has been phenomenal with seeing me for who I am being open to my different identities and even helping me make sense of my experiences because of them. Real world counseling doesn't seem so scary anymore

I am honored to recommend Jerome Rivers as a fellow clinician. He is one of the most diligent and proficient counselors that I know. I admire his ability to meet the client where they are whether it’s being silly or serious. You will be drawn to his genuineness and you should be excited to begin a new therapeutic journey with him, trust the process!
