LGBTQIA+ counseling is a type of queer affirmative counseling dedicated to assisting individuals and couples in navigating the intricate intersections of their sexual orientation, gender identity, and mental health, with a primary goal of fostering well-being, self-acceptance, and affirming a client’s life experiences as a queer individual. Although not all LGBTQ+ individuals seek specialized counseling, a substantial number discover vital support and empathy within these inclusive and affirming therapeutic settings.
Thriveworks LGBTQ+ counseling in Marietta, GA typically begins with an initial assessment to understand your specific needs. LGBTQ+ counselors aim to create a safe, inclusive, and affirming environment for anyone within the LGBTQ+ community by encouraging self-acceptance and offering an understanding of your identity and experiences. LGBTQ+ therapy addresses issues like coming out, discrimination, mental health challenges, and gender transition, and provides support for LGBTQ+ relationships.
LGBTQ+ counseling is incredibly important because it can help queer individuals accept their identity, learn self-love, and give them important tools for facing the challenges of being a queer person in today’s society, among many other benefits. LGBTQ+-affirming therapists can understand the unique perspective and experiences of queer individuals as they help them process past trauma, address family conflicts, treat issues with anxiety, and more.
Thriveworks LGBTQ+ counseling in Marietta, GA is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The number of sessions for LGBTQ+ counseling depends on the specific needs and goals of the individual. It could encompass a relatively limited series of sessions or extend into a longer counseling plan. The precise quantity and duration of sessions typically emerge through collaborative discussion with the counselor, taking into account the client’s progress and their therapeutic objectives.
While many in the LGBTQ community are enjoying recent advances for their legal equality and cultural acceptance, many who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or questioning understand that there is still much work to be done. Both the good and the bad are true. Human rights victories for marriage equality and the growing number of cultural voices using their platform to promote inclusion are some of the highlights. The lowlights are that marginalization and discrimination are often regular occurrences for those within the LGBTQ community. These forms of inequality exact a severe toll. The LGBTQ community as a whole suffers higher rates of anxiety, addiction, and depression than other populations.
The counselors, life coaches, and therapists who work at Thriveworks Marietta understand the power of living in one’s trust and the power of self-acceptance. We are committed to providing holistic care to our clients and in particular, to support our clients who are members of the LGBTQ community with the informed and sensitive care that they deserve. If you could benefit from LGBTQ+ counseling, reach out to Thriveworks Marietta for help. We’re here for you.
