LGBTQ+ Inclusive & Affirming Therapy
Agate Counseling is a proud provider of best-practice LGBTQ+ affirming counseling services to teens and adults.
This can focus on typical concerns addressed in therapy such as:
- Depression
- Anxiety/stress/perfectionism
- Grief and loss
- Traumatic experiences
- Dating and relationships
- Substance use/misuse
- Chronic illness
Therapy for LGBTQ+ folx can also be a safe space to explore and/or better understand your sexuality and/or gender identity:
- Coming out
- Gender dysphoria
- Transition
- Feelings of guilt, shame, and/or stigma related to sexual orientation or gender identity
- Internalized homophobia/self-hatred
- Family tension, conflict, or rejection after coming out
Therapy for parents and caregivers of LGBTQ+ individuals can address issues such as:
- Questions about your child’s coming out you may not be able to get answered anywhere else or are afraid to ask
- Learning about various aspects/struggles of the coming out process
- Learning how to support your loved one in their coming out experience
- Learning to cope with your own confusion, distress, grief, anxiety, and fears over your child’s coming out as LGBTQ+
- Navigating your own coming out experience in a way that honors your child’s privacy and process
- Resource identification and connection for your child and your family for needs outside of counseling (for example: Peer support, affirming counseling for your child, or transgender-competent medical care including primary care, gender care, etc.)
