In-person Sessions
Meet in a supportive and affirming space with an LGBTQIA+ affirmative therapist, where your identity, relationships, and lived experiences are respected and understood.
Virtual Sessions
Connect with an LGBTQIA+ affirmative therapist from the comfort of your own space while exploring identity, relationships, and mental health with support from an LGBTQ specialized therapist.
LGBTQIA+ Affirmative therapy offers a safe space where you do not have to explain or hide who you are. Therapy can focus on identity exploration, relationships, family dynamics, coming out experiences, or the impact of discrimination and minority stress on mental health.
Known for our work with LGBTQ identified clients, Rae Therapy Group therapists have specific training and experience working with LGBTQ clients, and an understanding of the LGBTQ community and relational dynamics. Sessions focus on understanding your individual experiences while helping you navigate anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma, and life transitions. Our goal is to create a space where you feel safe, respected, validated, and supported in exploring all parts of your identity and life, working toward reparative healing and lasting change.
LGBTQIA affirming therapy provides more than general mental health support. It creates a space where your identity, relationships, and community experiences are understood within the broader context of social and cultural realities. Many LGBTQ individuals have faced stigma, queer and transphobia, or invalidation in personal, professional, or healthcare settings, which can deeply impact mental health and self-acceptance.
Working with a therapist who has specific training in LGBTQ mental health allows you to explore these experiences in a way that feels validating, informed, and understood. Over time, many clients experience greater self-acceptance, stronger boundaries, improved relationships, and reduced anxiety and depression. Therapy can also help process past experiences of rejection and discrimination while building confidence and resilience in living authentically.
As queer people, we were not given language for queer sex and love. We were also denied the opportunity to learn about our profound history. If desired, Rae Therapy Group therapists have plenty of resources to share, which can help in reclaiming what was lost or left out.
