You are welcome here exactly as you are.
Being authentic and true to yourself is not always easy, especially for individuals in the LGBTQIA+ community. But, letting your brilliance shine is exactly what you deserve. Here at ME-Therapy, we want to help you achieve that.
The world around us is slowly making changes to be more inclusive. However, there are still many unique challenges facing individuals in the LGBTQIA+ community. Identifying as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning, intersex, and asexual. Gender identity, sexual orientation, or preference may not be a source of anxiety, fear or stress for you. But, the social stigma, lack of acceptance, and struggles that come with living as a member of a minority can be difficult.
The inability to live as your authentic self in the face of mixed social pressure or expectations can cause problems. Including, diminished mental health, deterioration of social relationships, and even substance abuse. Maybe you have experienced issues at work. Perhaps, bullying at school. Even distancing by family members or friends. Or, other types of issues stemming from being part of the LGBTQIA+ community. No matter what, we are here to help you heal and provide you with support.
Our therapists are devoted to your healing. We will be there to accompany you on your journey to living authentically. Having your best life. And, reaching your highest potential!
Now, you find yourself struggling to discuss your gender identity or sexual preferences with the people in your life. Maybe, you’ve been having sexual fantasies that you haven’t experienced before. Now, you are now faced with the decision of whether you are ready to begin exploring them. By seeking therapy, you are making a step toward finding or strengthening self-acceptance. Finally, affirming that you are perfect just as you are.
LGBTQIA+ therapy can help you explore your connections to individuals in your life. LGBTQ therapy can improve your romantic relationship(s) with your partner(s).
Luckily, couples can also benefit from LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy. For couples, therapy offers a space to find strategies to overcome obstacles that might be unique to the community. LGBTQIA+ therapy helps guide you in finding new ways to cope with the oppression or discrimination you may face. You can talk with your therapist about discrimination in social settings, the workplace, or other areas. Ultimately, this type of therapy will improve your overall mental health. You can find ways to comfortably express yourself and your needs to family, friends, coworkers, and others around you. The therapeutic process can help you heal. All while offering you a supportive ally along the way.
