Why gender and identity affirmative therapy?

Individuals who identify as Diverse often face distinct challenges and stresses due to societal stigma. Research indicates that this added stress is a major factor behind LGBTQ+ people being 2 to 3 times more likely to experience anxiety, depression, substance use, and other mental health concerns throughout their lives. Unfortunately, many in the LGBTQ+ people hesitate to seek therapy, fearing potential judgment or lack of understanding from providers.

LGBTQ+ affirmative therapy aims to offer a protected, nonjudgmental space where clients can address their concerns without dread of rejection.

At Williamsburg Therapy Group, our team includes queer-identified, leading psychologists and psychiatrists who specialize in the diverse needs of the LGBTQ+ community.
